Occupied vs empty
An empty apartment is quicker and slightly cheaper because there is no furniture to move and protect. Occupied flats are painted room by room with low-odour paint so you can stay in.
What affects the price
Wall condition (cracks, old flaking paint), ceiling height, colour changes and paint brand all move the price. Move-out repaints to the original colour are usually at the lower end. See apartment painting.
