What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €312/m² the purchase price looks low, but the 320 m² late-19th-century farmhouse requires full renovation, adding an estimated €352,000 and bringing the effective cost to about €1,413/m² versus the €412/m² regional baseline. The large size and €100,000 entry price do not compensate for the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This large late-19th-century farmhouse has genuine rural character, exposed brick, old fireplaces, traditional shutters, and a generous 1,326 sqm lot. It is not move-in ready: the main rooms are floored and enclosed, but the property needs extensive renovation and the ancillary areas are close to agricultural storage or workshop space rather than finished living accommodation.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€127,000 – €187,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including outdated finishes, damaged plaster, and neglected outbuildings.
- Visible cracking and roof/ceiling deterioration require a professional structural and technical assessment.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large five-bedroom property; utilities and systems should be verified.
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 42/100This is in the built-up area of Forlì, so the immediate setting is an urban plain in the Romagna part of the Po Valley. The Montone River runs through the city. The first Apennine foothills begin southwest of Forlì around Castrocaro Terme and Predappio, but they are outside the immediate urban surroundings. Forlì is a provincial city with a full set of services, rail connections, and a substantial historic centre with Piazza Aurelio Saffi, San Mercuriale and the Musei di San Domenico.
