This is a veto case: the listing explicitly says both 'nuda proprietà' and 'in asta', which makes it unsuitable for a normal foreign-buyer home purchase despite the low €303/m² ask. The ad also labels it 'Renovated', but the text describes a mixed-use property with a 69 m² boiler/deposit area and only 63 m² residential portion, so the headline metrics are misleading.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home rather than a ruin: the residential rooms are finished, furnished, and appear basically habitable. But the aesthetic wow is very low, with a plain barn-like conversion, rough exterior spaces, and little visible charm or view. At the price it may be practical value, not a dream-home scroll stopper.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Nuda proprietà, so you may not get immediate full use/possession.
- Exterior and service areas look utilitarian and somewhat neglected.
- No scenic views or notable character are shown in the photos.
- Part of the building is still deposit/boiler-room space rather than finished living area.
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 58/100The first ridges of the Romagna Apennines begin around Meldola, with wooded hills and cultivated valleys rather than high mountain terrain. The Bidente river runs through the area. The Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park begins farther up the Bidente valleys toward Santa Sofia and Campigna, outside the immediate surroundings. Forlì is the nearest larger town and provides the main services, rail connections and a small airport. The area is known in general for Romagna hill farming, orchards and access routes from the plain into the Apennine valleys.
