1. The typical yield of Berlin properties are between 4%-10%.
An apartment block or a single flat in Berlin provides a typical return (through rent payments) of 4%-10%.
2. Purchasing prices are one of the lowest in Europe.
With so much demand, why are the property prices still so much lower than other cities?
The fast changing history of Berlin containing a separation, reunion, recession and an entry into the euro system within a couple of decades caused a drop in property prices.
They are still considerably lower than property prices of the 1990 level.
These exceptional historical circumstances caused Berlin’s property prices to be one of the lowest in Europe in the past two decades.
Just in recent years the new capital of Germany started to correct the market price.
Even if the prices are rising rapidly, the capital is still highly undervalued.
According to market experts, the real estate value in Berlin is still below 30% of the German average prices.
Hence, large financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley started to acquire berlin real estate investments worth billions of Euros.
The timing was right, as prices in Berlin started to appreciate significantly since 2004.
3. German tenants tent to stay long term and pay rents on time.
The majority of the citizens of Berlin prefer to rent a flat for a long term.
Rents were low or subsidized by the government.
Residents of Berlin still prefer to rent than purchasing a property.
Rental agreements are usually for an unlimited period and the tenants often stay in the same flat all their lives, with their children following on.
Hence, a tenant in Berlin can be considered as a reliable partner, paying rent on time.
However, as rent prices raise some will start to reconsider buying, which will push the demand for properties and property prices increase even higher in the future.
4. Germany has a regulated legal system and offers highest protection back by the EEC.
Germany has a modern constitution and is a democracy at the heart of Europe.
The German government ensures the rights protection of individuals with its legal system.
The constitution law is thoroughly organized, its regulation creates security and it is working within the EEC.
Through this the regulated legal system provides highest protection to the investor.
5. Low mortgage rates are provided by German banks.
Mortgages can be easily obtained by German Banks.
The lending amount lies by 80% - 85% of the valuation.
Interest rates are currently very low and can be as low as 4%, which will be variable or fixed number of years.
Berlin Yield Estate works with the leading banks and financial institutions of Germany, such as Deutsche Bank or Creditweb.
This means through our in-depth market knowledge we can obtain the lowest lending rates for you.
Our real estate agents usually take over the entire financing process for our international clients.
6. Berlin is backed up by the very strong German economy.
Berlin is growing and property prices are appreciating.
After a small brake during the recession property prices of Berlin are increasing again.
Germany is the most popular country in the world.
According to the BBC World Service, Germany became the country of choice for the second time in a row.
This is aligning with the popularity of Berlin as an economic center of Germany.
An increasing number of firms from India and China show interest in investing in Berlin.
In Russia and Denmark, companies prefer to start business or open branches in Berlin.
After the crisis, Germany is showing a healthy economic growth, which will reflect the prices of Berlin properties.
7. The price will rise further
Real Estate values were appreciating and experts expect the purchase price and the rent to rise further.
This causes an increasing demand for properties from Berlin.
Due to these changes and the current level of home ownership, which is one of the lowest in Germany and Europe, caused through previously subsidized rents by the government, one can conclude an increasing demand of properties in Berlin.
This can be backed by the new government initiatives, which will also subsidize home buyers to jump at the property ladder. Hence, experts forecast a market correction and recommend investing in Berlin now, as the timing is right.
