- Do you want to know how much it would cost to buy a Moscow apartment and carry out a full, high end renovation? Well, today we will meet my friend Anastasia who is doing just that.
She project manages these full renovations and will take us through one she is doing right now. Anastasia will explain the process and of course, break down the full cost.

What do you think of the price? I think the flat is a good price but the renovation was more than I expected. Let me know what you think.
The price for an apartment... well, approximately corresponds to Moscow prices. But the renovation cost 4 million.... WELL, this is Robbery! There is a maximum of 1 million (with excellent renovation and furniture). Simply, the apartment itself (old house, old central communications, etc.) is NOT worth the very expensive finishing and furnishings. Below, I gave a little reasoning for my opinion. Yes, housing prices have increased greatly over the past 2 years. BUT, the increase in materials is insignificant. Regular, seasonal. And, by the way, if repairs are done in winter, you can save about 15-20%. Due to the seasonal drop in prices for building materials and services.
How much all the Ukrainian homes destroyed by Pu tin in his stupid "Special Vanity Project"?
My previous comment removed!!?
Why?
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 you behaved badly)))
I just bought a 3 story dacha for $80,000. 270 square meters, 3 bathrooms, 7 bedrooms, heated floors, and there's a natural spring nearby. It's also on a huge block of land! I also have fiber optic internet!!! It's out in the middle of nowhere, and the nearest town is about a 20 minute drive away, but this is exactly what I wanted - peace and quiet, and solitude 😉
Question from the 'studio'🤪! Why do you need 270 square meters? Do you have a gypsy camp, or are you refugees from an Afghan village?🤣
Congrats 🎉
What area?
@@MnemonicCarrier куда 270 м2🤔
@@user-rt1xm3pk2s у меня только гараж 300 метров.))))
My parents, after the birth of me and my brother, received an apartment in a new house of 62 square meters for 4 people in 1991 under the USSR in 1991. Yes, it's a little, an economy option, but for free. A young family, my parents were 22 years old and they just started working. I grew up in it.
Well your parents apparently got lucky getting their quarters without years in queue just about time for privatisation and real ownship. Communal apartments are also very free and very socialist concept.
@@Tiberit same was in my family far long before any privatisations
Mate, these videos are really interesting!
Russia seems nothing like I imagined, would love to visit!
There’s something about the Soviet Apartments I always like I think the coolest feature I like on them are those enclosed balconies?
Balconies were originaly open in most Soviet houses. Enclosure is against architect's idea, witch sometimes included pots of flowers visible outside. But enclosure became popular after collapse of USSR and gave some protection from weather conditions.
@@Tiberit Those enclosures are generally hideous.
Ukrainian apartments used to be just as nice!! Now turned to rubble!!!
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 Blame the meddling US and the Banderites.
I'm in love with Anastasia!!!
I think you are in love with her grand balumbas.
She is beautiful 😍
It's important to know! All these modest Soviet apartments during the USSR were given to people for FREE! And they were provided with all the necessary free infrastructure. That's socialism. The state's concern for an ordinary person.
Yes we had on of them for free . We just payed utilities. I miss my USSR 😢
@@johnjonson9126 Always remember there was a reason why it went down... The basic idea was good and if it had worked everyone would have had the same options and benefits...
Also many of the countries in USSR was forced under Russia that was not good..
Do people really think anything is for free? The Soviet Union collapsed.............
@@Oomph6006 Проблема в том что любая идея утопична по своей сути если узучать историю это касается и демократии особенно либеральной так как она неминуемо движется к хаосу и анархии . Пока что никто не придумал социальный строй устраивающий всех и работающий на всех уровнях
@@Oomph6006 то есть тебя устраивает то что на протяжении многих сотен лет многие страны и континенты были вынуждены подчинятся Англии а когда её свергли с трона истории теперь многие страны подчиняются США которые расставили тысячи своих военных баз по всему миру для контроля . А если ты заикнешься о свободе слова и демократии то можешь смело засунуть себе это глубоко и подальше ибо это двуличная ширма для прикрытия грабежа и контроля также как и крестовые походы в свое время
Good information! Every situation is different! In renovation you cannot compare with other places for the variety is almost infinite.
Hi Scottish Guy. Could you do a video centered around how you found work in Moscow, and how other westerners can find job opportunities there as well (networking/linkedIn/etc)? As someone who will soon be graduating from university with a background in analytics and finance, I'm sure me and many others would be totally interested in hearing what you'd have to say. Love the content, cheers from Arizona!
@@gameboygrill9353 hi, I actually just filmed a video with a guy called Igor his channel is Igor in Russia. He will explain different visa options for foreigners. It should be posted on Sunday!
@@scottishguyinmoscow Awesome, I'll definitely check it out, спасибо
We have a lot of bus driver vacancies for example
Salaries are about $2.000 a month for high qualified professionals. After graduation you can only find about $1.000 a month salary in the big cities. The rents start from $500 and up. Cars extremely expensive. Now with sanctions there are no banks that cooperative with western banks and any mo ey transfers are very complicated.
Good video and very interesting.thanks.
У Анастасии очень милая улыбка ❤️
Great video - at first i thought it said ‘with Prince’ - i almost clicked away.

Meanwhile in Ukraine, buildings /homes/apartment blocks obliterated!
Nice content...i just remind you all that end of time is near prepared with do charity to your goodness in eternal life...
I was kind of distracted the whole time. Men know why!
Lol, I was too, trying to figure out if the girls were "free" or "contained"! ;-)
@@mocki5665 I know exactly what you mean.
They are very beautiful....
Nor really. Plain

Imagine what that would cost in London , very good price ❤
Moscow real estate is already highly overpriced. I would consider Saint Petersburg or Ekaterinburg or maybe even Perm as more affordable cities for living.
LOL most of the people commenting here have never been to Russia, don't know shit from shinola and think their opinion somehow has value. As someone who has been tracking apartment prices in Moscow for the past few years, this place (subject to completion of the remont of course) is within the range of Moscow apartments relatively close to, but outside the garden ring. For comparison sake, this apartment in New York would be marketed as a 2 bedroom, period end of story. It would be in Brooklyn, say Carroll Gardens, and cost 3x the price...easy.
there's a reason why it is 3x cheaper in russia, it's in russia. if you are in russia get out while you can still move.
@@user-em3wi7ex4k you've obviously never been in Russia, but the real questions are 1) do you ever leave your mommy's basement and 2) do you shower?
@@user-em3wi7ex4k CIPSO going in the chat
Yes - there are many know-it-all -- know nothings on here commenting
They probably go along with the Yankee saying - Russia is a Gas Station masquerading as a Country rhetoric
Moscow has always been expensive
@@user-em3wi7ex4k Emigration from Russia is at a very low level when compared with Eastern Europe or the former USSR. Read less Western media, they melt your brain.
Greetings from Monterrey México 😎🍷🥳👏🏼👌🏼👋🏼😙💨🌿☕🍫
Добро Пожаловать в страну Россия Москва и Московская область...❤
Thanks 😎
Love Russia and intend to buy an apartment here some day.
Very expensive indeed. But I think in Dublin you are looking at 250k Euro and up for a one bedroom flat.
I don't think people understand how reasonable living in Russia is...an apartment ofthat size in any major US city is easily 3K a month.
In this area, the average price for an apartment in similar buildings, which are not very old brick buildings, around twenty to thirty years old, ranges from three hundred to four hundred thousand rubles per square meter, or approximately from three to four thousand dollars per square meter. So, if we take this apartment's area, which is fifty-seven square meters, and multiply it by the lowest price in the area, three hundred thousand rubles per square meter, we get about seventeen million rubles. Therefore, the price for this area is quite justified. If you were to take a similar apartment in New York, in a comparable location near Central Park but closer to Harlem, it would be in a similar price range. I think the price per square meter would be around ten thousand dollars. So, a similar apartment would cost approximately starts from 570.000 to 1 million $
Awesome videos. Thank you.

anesthasia is cute . lucky man
A lot of Russian women are. They're white.

Renovation may NOT increase price of Moscow apartment, while market fluctuations could. Reselling renovated apartment not an option. Renovation will attract one type of buyers, but others are eager for rundown place to customize for their needs and wishes. I suspect this place was bought, renovated and will be used for actual accommodation of the owner. With all due respect Scottish guy screwed a little this video with his experience.
Good size. You get lot for 180k£ well worth the money
£150k
Renovation also included in these 17m rulbles
She was very cute!.
Классно
..
Thats a ridiculous price, by comparison another U tuber in the black sea region built a huge house from scratch for not alot more
Who?
Moscow is very expensive. But Moscow region and other cities are much cheaper
@@shogunero3.6I think op is referring to ‘plastic russian’ CZcams channel
17 million is insane. I can buy hectares with an old house for half and renovate or build for the other half. Yeah. Was just looking at Krasnodar. Would love to go back to Crimea (my home but you know) and it got super expensive. Simiez , Mirmyi, Sudak, Alushta, Feodosia.
@@chrissyg2003 where does he live? He's not on the beach though right?
Renovations are not easy at all!
So stop criticizing people.
I suppose you watched "Homes under the hammer" !
Please notice, your GF Alfia is so far the best asset of your channel, so pls don't forget to feature her next time!
I love the greenery and the views. Is it just me or all the rooms in Russian apartments long and narrow? It's like van life in a building. 😂 I think with good decor, this type could really look good!
yes, there are really narrow and long rooms here, but I tried to fix it
All the same
Well, for 4 lemmas... I was trying to imagine.. Well, what can be piled up there... on 57 m2? Well... no way at all. Here in Chelyab Odnushka (good) costs that much. I myself have been in construction for 15 years. There are certain constants (average) for the cost of repairs per 1m2. Iii, if 4 lyama /57m2 = 70 thousand/1m2. And come on, even if you turn on your craziest fantasy, nothing comes to mind HOW to spend 70K on 1m2!!!

OMG! Вангог воистину воскрес! Van Gogh reincarnation.

Moscow is expensive. It's like x3 to real estate prices from other parts of Russia.
Is it so green in Moscow? As for the price is cheap for a capital city and with so green around
Actually there was 33 IKeas in Russia.
That was not many. Considered the country size...
@@Oomph6006 In Russia there are many competitors of IKEA analogues.
What would be the average local government tax and service charge for a place like this...
£155k seems harsh but this is in the city
Foreigner prices.
Yeah i suspect she inflated the price her customer paid in anticipation of selling.
@@ericastier1646 seems a common and well worn path....foreigners get super excited in a new place and think everyone is their friend. Would like to see our Scotsman bargain in Glasgow, first price quoted would be answered with a headbutt!
@@jamesgraham446 hahaha, there could some of that but i just meant her customer who owns the apartment does not want to be known how much they paid because they want of course to flip it with probably double ask. Since she is their contractor she protects them by giving some bogus crazy high price without it having anything to do with our scottsman. But yeah i heard before that if you want to have a house build and your a foreigner they will overcharge you at every opportunity.
But in pounds it is only 170 000. Can you buy a flat in London for that price?
@@user-sf3fe4bh2q london is full of animals, it cannot fetch as high as Moscow which is full of decent white people.
Gas stove is healthy for cooking. Micro wave is very unhealthy, cancer causing radiation - I thought it was forbidden in Russia to buy. There are beautiful thick heaters.
Many people use it, our microwave oven has been standing in the basement for 15 years, it is completely functional, we do not use it. There is a roaster oven for heating
With these sorts of apartment blocks, who pays when it needs a new elevator or roof?
You pay management company every month. This management company takes care of all your building's and territory's common property - roof, elevator, pipes, heat systems, tree etc.
Cool
I think it is way overpriced.I do renovations in Australia for much less but it depends on the size of the apartment or house and Australia is one of the most expensive countries in the world.
A bit of a difference when it comes to insulation, materials, plumbing and the like. Furniture and appliances should cost about the same.
No way those costs are real figures not a chance , wouldn't even cost that in the uk
Moscow certainly is a beautiful place. Can you do a night time walk in central Moscow so we can see the lights? Please, Please, Please...
Hi, it’s something I want to do. Currently my GoPro isn’t good in the dark, I’m just looking into a different camera for it
All those soviet apartments look identical through out Russia & Eastern Europe
Commie blocks..Like bird houses.
@@pandoralechat780 Isn't there such a thing in Paris? )) I've seen even less
Built during the Soviet era with limited choice of anything (unless, of course, you were privileged). Probably two different families had to share this small space in the 'good old days'
@@Ролтун Paris is awful for this kind of nonsense.
That balcony railing isn't high enough for my 1.78m frame. It also doesn't look particularly safe either.
Very expensive for one bedroom in Russia
compare with?
Before the war, we purchased 39'sq. m. in a better location, 2 rooms, fully renovated (including new windows & enclosed balcony), all new, flooring, walls, plumbing, wiring, lighting, new applicances, walk-in wardrobe build and new A/C. Price was 12m Roubles. Someone is getting ripped off here. Big time.
Well, before the war we had a lot of things that we don't have now. The price of repairs has increased by 50% over the last year. And you also said something important - you have 39 meters and you bought a ready-made repair. Most likely with standard furniture and fairly cheap materials. location also matters, maybe you think Vykhino is a good place
@@Erma_lorda Well, our apartment is Old Arbat. A good place for you ? Full renovation in 2019. Materials/appliances all very good quality - Italian tiles, Russian wood floors, Laura Ashley wallpaper (UK), plumbing, wiring and lighting materials from Europe (Castorama/Leroy Merlin), Samsung A/C, appliances are Bosch (Germany). Smart home system with security from Crestron Home System/Security (USA). Nothing from IKEA 😅. Furniture our own. Yes, now Russia has huge inflation, and awful shit from China. Great excuse to steal money from clients. Yes, only 39 sq. m. Congratulations.
@@ianhamilton396 I'll tell my client how I steal money from him 😀 well, I congratulate you too, you bought an apartment at a good price, but a long time ago. imagine, for several decades someone got this apartment for free.
@@ianhamilton396 By the way, we don't only have shit from China. Can you imagine, we still have Italian tiles, materials from Europe.
@@Erma_lorda 🤣🤣🤣🤣

NOOOO! They took the wooden floor out! Really?
I was hoping that wasn't the case. Philistines!
What is the interest rate for a apartment loan today in Moscow/Russia, 10 year payback loan?
There is a turbulence on bank loans at the moment, special benefits are cancelled, the ordinary loans are very expensive. Now its more effective to rent and at the same time save money on deposit account. Its situation for now - summer 2024. Maybe later real estate loans will be reasonable again.
@@oleadsr8186 If i would live in Russia, i would live on rent, and invest / buy consumer electronics and stuff like that( for sale later). It looks like there is a record high gap between spending and earning in the budget, the emergency reserve is shrinking day by day, this can and probably will end in a bad way for ordinary people.

Do something else mate,when they see foreigners it is like hitting the jackpot.I love the Russian people but money talks .I suggest leave it for a couple of years , marry your girl and let her do the house hunting.Be careful , there is sharks all over the world and Russia is not the exception.🇿🇦🇦🇺🇬🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Hello Scottish Guy
Кто нибудь из Англии Шотландии, расскажите свое мнение по ситуации с мигрантами???
@@OnlyThis-1 ситуации с мигрантами были только в нескольких местах (думаю что спонсированны ) . В остальных местах тихо как обычно . У нас есть знакомые из разных стран с разным цветом кожи , никто никого не бьет , все дружат . мигранты , которые работают , никогда не будут устраивать беспорядки
Only in a few places. But too many migrants are being allowed in with very little governance and accountability.
As an English man I'm sick of these immigrants and so are the rest of brits that's why we had the riots

way more expensive than i thought it would be. I thought russia would be cheaper.

Expensive renovation ! I live in Russia and built a huge house for less than what she is renovating that show box for
Avoid these entrepreneurs! They aren’t worth the money they charge!
She's lying, for some reason. That place didn't cost that much. She'd have to rent it expensive but outside is run down. Another channel bought similar. Smaller but better condition for 40k. Rent is $175.
Lying???
It's a good neighborhood in a good city. You'd have a difficult time finding anything for 40k anywhere nearby. I'd say within a couple hundred miles. Same with rent - 175 is virtually unheard of in Msk.
I thought also that the price she quoted seemed far fetched. She is probably protecting a business deal her customer is expecting to make when offering for sale later.
There is no way this apartment is more thant 50k even in moscow.
For 40 thousand you can buy maybe 8-10 meters in Moscow, but renting even such a small apartment costs more than 250 dollars.
@@ericastier1646 I don't need to lie, because this apartment is not for sale, it will be lived in. If you find a three-room apartment in a brick house in this area cheaper - I'll go buy it.
