See what needs doing and what each job costs
Judicial auction is a mandatory veto under the scoring rules, despite the low €329/m² asking price versus the €367/m² Emilia-Romagna baseline. The 109 m² property is described as habitable, but auction-related legal and purchasing risks make it unsuitable for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric rural stone farmhouse with traditional tiled roofs, timber ceilings, a fireplace, broad lawns, agricultural land, and attractive rolling-hill views. It appears to be a real, roofed and furnished home rather than a ruin, but the interiors are very basic and some areas look damp and in need of renovation.
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.
- Auction purchase requires careful legal and title review.
- The interiors are basic and visibly aged, with damp-looking cellar/storage areas and cosmetic work needed.
- No bathroom is shown in the gallery, despite one being listed in the description; verify utilities, access, and pool ownership/condition.
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 68/100The site is in the first Apennine hills of Romagna, with wooded ridges and cultivated valleys around the Bidente river system. The Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park lies nearby to the south-west, with the main high forest and mountain area around Campigna roughly 15 km away. Santa Sofia is the nearest small town of some size and has everyday services; Forlì is the main city for higher-order services. This part of Romagna is known for hill villages, chestnut woods and the roads that climb from the plain into the Apennines.
