# Q&A / Analysis (English) — 1. Property Summary **Müllheimerstrasse 55, 4057 Basel — 3.5-room condominium.** A 84 m² net-living-area apartment on the 2nd floor of a 1975, 6-storey multi-family building in the **Matthäus quarter** (Kleinbasel), a central, lively, well-connected inner-city district near the Rhine, trams and buses. | Attribute | Detail | |-----------|--------| | Asking price | **CHF 625'000** (≈ CHF 7'440 / m²) | | Size | 84 m² net living + 4 m² loggia + 4 m² balcony + 5 m² cellar | | Layout | 3.5 rooms, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom (tub), separate guest WC, separate kitchen | | Floor / building | 2nd of 6 floors, lift, 14 residential units (co-ownership share 54/1000) | | Year built / condition | 1975 · **"renovation-needed"** — kitchen & bath partly original | | Heating | District heating (Fernwärme), radiators | | Parking | **None** | | Outdoor | Loggia (quiet courtyard side) + balcony (street side) | | Annual owner costs | **CHF 7'416/yr** (incl. CHF 2'700 renewal-fund contribution) | | Renewal fund (whole bldg.) | CHF 117'014 at 31.12.2024, growing +CHF 50'000/yr | **Ownership context (from the STWEG documents):** managed by Regimo Basel (new manager Dinvest AG from ~2025/26); the co-owners' association has **planned a phased façade + roof energetic renovation of the whole building — the sum of three staged estimates (roof + PV, rear & front façade) ≈ CHF 500'000–600'000 incl. subsidies, earliest start ~3 years out** (full breakdown in §3), plus an ordered earthquake-safety assessment (~CHF 10'000). Fire-safety upgrades (new flat entrance doors, etc.) were completed in 2024. A ground-floor doctor's practice will be converted to two flats by another owner at that owner's cost. **One-line take:** an honestly-priced, centrally-located city flat with good bones and clear modernization upside — but it comes with a renovation to-do list (yours inside, the building's outside) that the low headline price already reflects.
