Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €365,000 for 270 m² gives €1,352/m² and an estimated effective €1,552/m² after a modest €200/m² refit, far above the local baseline of €571/m²; the listing omits condition, construction year and energy class (there are 20 photos).
More on the house and the area
Spacious, well‑kept family home with bright, characterful interiors (fireplace, parquet/tiles) and a long driveway plus a generous private garden. Move‑in condition overall but rooms and bathrooms are a bit dated and the location is suburban rather than a picturesque countryside view.
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€18,000 – €30,000
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.
- Interiors are dated — cosmetic updating (kitchen/bathrooms/finishes) likely needed
- Suburban setting with neighbouring buildings and nearby road — not a secluded scenic view
- Large garden requires maintenance and pruning
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.
