Practical examples of monthly rent calculation
To make it easier to estimate the monthly financial commitment, here are two practical calculation examples based on typical floor areas:
60 sqm apartment in Excellent condition. Estimated minimum rent: 60 sqm × €8.6/sqm = €516 a month; estimated maximum rent: 60 sqm × €11.6/sqm = €696 a month. Renting a renovated 60 sqm home means a monthly instalment of broadly between €515 and €700.
80 sqm apartment in Normal condition. Estimated minimum rent: 80 sqm × €6.8/sqm = €544 a month; estimated maximum rent: 80 sqm × €8.5/sqm = €680 a month. For an 80 sqm two-bedroom flat in standard condition, the outlay stands on average between €540 and €680 a month.
Why invest in Cascina Nuova and Cascina del Sole
In the light of the official OMI surveys, the Cascina Nuova and Cascina del Sole area of Bollate stands out for solid reasons of property value:
Affordability compared with Milan and central Bollate: with entry sale values around €1,700/sqm for civil dwellings, the area makes it possible to buy precious square metres at a distinctly lower price than in the capital and in the Bollate town centre.
Attractive and stable rental returns: rents of up to €11.6/sqm/month for properties in excellent condition allow investors to obtain competitive gross annual returns, supported by continuous rental demand.
Quality of life and value retention: the calm setting, proximity to key infrastructure and the availability of strategic extras such as garages (between €800 and €1,150 per sqm) ensure excellent resale prospects and stability of value over time.
