ᐅ Question about Renovation (Concealed Installation) of an Apartment in a Residential Building

Hello,
we are currently considering renovating an apartment in a large residential building.
During the renovation, we will need to adjust some water pipes because the bathtub is going to be replaced with a shower. The toilet will get a concealed cistern, and the water pipes in the kitchen currently come out of the wall above the sink; of course, these will need to be rerouted downwards.
Is it usually straightforward to make such changes to concealed water pipes, or do we need to consult the building management first?
The apartment was inherited by my grandmother and is planned to be sold. Before selling, we would like to fully renovate it to achieve a higher resale value.
Of course, we will still talk to the building management, but maybe someone here knows how this is typically handled?
Best regards

No one says exactly how to do it, only that sometimes it takes a bit of imagination to lay it out.
Significant savings potential lies in doing the work yourself. A buyer always starts by subtracting the contractor’s price for necessary renovations from their calculation or adds it on top of the purchase price.
Some speculators were used to buying old properties and selling them as (cheaply made) luxury.
I agree with you about the location. But that is something the original poster needs to know and we cannot judge.
The question was clearly asked and answered.

I would first test what kind of audience it attracts.
If the audience has foreign-sounding names and can do it themselves, they probably won’t pay a high premium.
But it could also be that the apartment is in Munich and people are lining up to get the door kicked in.

It is about 50 km (30 miles) from Munich. You can get on the highway to Munich within 3 minutes. It’s right next to Augsburg. So it’s definitely worth considering; otherwise, I wouldn’t be looking into it. What’s still confusing me is that there is only one meter for cold water.
Now I have a rough idea, I’ll talk to the property management and check the situation with my plumbing.
Yes, the rest looks similar to the toilet, which is why it’s a complete renovation...

The buyer may want to renovate according to their own ideas.
Have apartments in the residential building been sold in the past?
