What determines the cost of moving in Milan?
The cost depends on the volume and nature of the belongings, floor levels, lifts, distance and services required. Floor area alone is not enough to determine a quote.
Do the listed prices include VAT?
The amounts on this page exclude VAT. The quote must specify the applicable tax.
Are dismantling and reassembly always included?
They must be specified in the offer. Decorato provides them only as part of a move.
Are the public space occupation figures municipal fees?
No. These are indicative price-list figures for work-related items. Public charges and the permit-handling fee must be clarified separately.
Why can two similar moves cost different amounts?
Access, volume, loading distances and services can vary even between homes of the same floor area.
Can I get a final price online?
An online enquiry starts the assessment. The team prepares the quotation after checking your details and, where useful, carrying out a survey.
