Investment Property In Berlin - Some of the Cheapest prime Real Estate in Europe

By Sofie Vincent

Investment property in Berlin is becoming popular, as a growing number of investors and prospective buyers are learning about the tremendous financial returns on Berlin investment property from this fast-rising venture.

In Germany there has been an economic increase rate of 2.5 percent that was posted in the year 2006; this has caused Germany to be at its highest level to at its highest level of confidence in about 15 years. The country of Germany is having a great time of economic revival due to its strong export market and rising housing price index, which makes it and very attractive time to invest there.

After many years of its economy being exceedingly sluggish mostly in the eastern parts and especially in Berlin there has been a solid and steady increase in the number of investors, this in turn has kept property prices pretty low. The outlook for mortgages in Germany is very encouraging by the government relaxing on its mortgaging policies, which cause many German citizens to their own homes rather than renting them.

The economy in Germany is growing at a steady rate of 2.5 percent throughout the year of 2007, house purchasing prices have been seen to increase slightly however. There are low costs and very affordable commercial properties and office spaces, there have been many British and European investors that have constantly poured money into the city of Berlin to build their businesses home offices and headquarters. After the Berlin wall had fell, the city began to race with others of Germanys advanced cities such as Munich or Frankfurt it their economic development. But a surprising occurrence has happened in Berlin, the price of property are more low in the capital than in all of the other minor cities of its country making Berlin investment property extremely attractive to investors.

The districts of Charlottenburg and of Mitte have become the choosiest investment properties, the properties in these districts are some the best deals in highly valued property across the continent. However, in just a few short years the prices of the properties will increase at a very high several times what they are worth now.

There is very serious interest in the growth of Berlin investment property because of the high returns investors have gotten back from the original investment. In the case of Schlosspark-Carre it is supported by a ten-year rental guarantee by certain groups of banks, which in turn has made it one of the most attractive investments across the whole continent. Along with the ten year guarantee it also has a ten-year maintenance and modernization plan, and also added onto to that is free rental management of the investment properties that are up for sale.

The main source of an economy thriving is the population, Berlins population is about 3.4 million and has remained stable and has a population density of Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt all together which makes it the largest populated city in all of Germany.

There were 1.8 million households with 1.8 persons living in each household at Berlin in the year of 2003. Over the past few years the numbers has increasingly raised very steadily and it is suspected by 2025, the number of households in the city should reach the 2 million mark. This spread out over eighteen years will be an increase annually of 8,400. This expanding population would start a large movement of investors investing in property at Berlin, which will cause local residence trouble in getting mortgages for their houses and would have to switch to renting a home.

The thrust of many foreign investors would be to purchase high yield properties in Berlin and then selling them to the local residents for a considerable profit, and Berlin has all the ingredients for a profitable property market venture.

Advantages of the Berlin investment property

Berlin has a very liquid rental base market, unlike other investment centres across the globe. A surprising 87 percent of the population, or close to 3 million people, have opted to rent their homes instead of purchasing them for ownership. The vacancy rates of rental apartments and homes are at a very low 3.4 percent during the latter part of 2008. This gives a very wonderful opportunity to investors in purchasing 'buy-to-let' apartments and properties, as it assures them of consistent and profitable rental income.

Another great thing about Berlin investment property is the clear-cut information that the German authorities will give to potential investors in this area. Information like prices on property, sales, rental rates and returns on investments so that the potential investors might have can know what decisions to make within the choices of their investments. - 23162
