Is buying better than renting in Milan?

With the 2026 Olympics driving prices up, buying now locks in value. However, transaction costs in Italy (taxes + notary) are high (approx 10%), so you must stay 7+ years to break even.

What is the average rent in Milan?

Rents are the highest in Italy. A modern 2-bedroom apartment ranges from €1,800 to €2,500 per month depending on the district.

What taxes do I pay when buying in Milan?

For a 'First Home', you pay 2% Registration Tax. For a 'Second Home' or investment, it jumps to 9%. If buying new from a developer, you pay 4% (First Home) or 10% (Second Home) VAT.
