See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is being sold at a judicial auction — buying requires specialist legal work and carries extra risk, so it’s not a straightforward purchase. At the listed EUR 35,859 (EUR 329/m²) plus an estimated EUR 200/m² for works gives an effective ≈ EUR 529/m² versus the local median EUR 358/m², so it is not a clear bargain once renovation is counted.
More on the house and the area
Stone farmhouse with a covered loggia, intact roof and pleasant rolling-hill views — very characterful and set in private grounds. The interior is clearly usable but dated and partly rough in places, so expect renovation and systems updates despite it being technically habitable.
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.
- Habitable but dated — will need kitchen/bathroom upgrades and general cosmetic work
- Cellar and some interior rooms look dark/partly unfinished with possible moisture issues
- Rural access/utilities and auction legal checks required
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.
