At €99,000 (€692/m²), the asking price is already above the local €467/m² reference, and the required renovation—including façade, roof, staircase and interior reconfiguration—could add about €850/m². The existing project and 26 photos are positives, but the estimated all-in cost is too high for a Forlì townhouse of this condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, traditional semi-detached house with a pleasant rural feel, mature trees, tiled floors, and some appealing vintage tilework. However, the interiors are tired and partly stripped back, while the exterior shows extensive peeling and weathering; it is a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
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, €850/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €50,000
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.
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.

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 38/100This is in the built-up area of Forlì, so the setting is the Romagna plain with the first low hills to the southwest and no named landscape feature within 15 km that changes the character of the immediate surroundings. Forlì itself is the nearest town of size and has the full services, rail station, hospitals, schools and a substantial historic centre with Piazza Saffi, San Mercuriale and several museums.
