Why this price is what it is

This is effectively a shell: the 85 sqm unit is open-plan, fully to renovate, with no internal partitions and no bathroom, so I estimate about €900/m² renovation. That makes the effective cost about €174,500 total, or ~€2,053/m², versus a very low local baseline of €395/m²; even allowing for the baseline bias low, this looks weak rather than a bargain.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a solid 1980s structure with generous internal volume, a decent stair hall, trees around it, and some outdoor space. But the actual unit is essentially an unfinished open-plan floor without bathroom or real living layout, so it reads more as a project than a ready-to-love Italian home. The setting is practical suburban rather than romantic or scenic.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€30,000 – €43,000

Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

Our read of the photos, €900/m², falls in this band.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000

Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.

Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.

Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.

Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

What worries us about this house
  • Open-plan shell with no internal divisions yet
  • No bathroom or finished kitchen shown
  • Needs full renovation to become a practical home
  • Exterior and balcony areas feel plain and dated

Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.

The area around

Location score 42/100

This is in the built-up area of Forlì, on the Romagna plain between the Montone and Ronco river system, with mainly flat agricultural land around the city and the first Apennine foothills farther southwest. Ravenna is the nearest larger centre in daily orbit on the plain, and the Adriatic coast is not far for practical use, but neither is inside the immediate landscape in a way that changes the setting. Forlì itself has the services and monuments of a provincial city, but under the urban cap this is a city setting rather than a distinctive landscape.
