Berlin Housing Market Report 2012

# Rents: Expensive rents get more expensive and moderate rents remain affordable.

# Rent Burden: The average share of spendable income to be assigned to rent dropped slightly from 24.4% in 2009 to 24.2%.

# Comparison: The Berlin Residential market still offers more for less than other German cities.

# Scoring: Pankow, Friedrichhain-Kreuzberg and Treptow-Köpenick are in high demand with investors and in advanced positions on the investment cycle.

# New building activities mainly in popular locations for high value customers.

 

These are the main conclusion of the 2012 Residential Market Report (Wohnmarkt-report für Berlin) by GSW Immobilien AG and CB Richard Ellis.

Property Performance Improvement

Background

Not all properties are performing as was promised in the exposé. There is a wide variety of reasons why this could be the case.
Some examples:

  • Incorrect information at the purchase (most frequent occurrence);

  • Pressure pre-sale renting with incentives and collapsing results a short period after sale;

  • Non-performing property management.

The result of these factors are yield erosion and a deterioration of the financial position.

 

It will be part of the review to determine the reason or most likely combination of reasons for the failure of the property investment to deliver the planned results.

Our Service

We apply various approaches to get to the bottom of the issues of non-performance. Where applicable we check for claim opportunities against the vendor with a forensic approach.

At the beginning of a Performance Improvement Review stands a Property Health Check. We apply our proven check lists and deliver an Opportunities Report that covers areas like rent level, cost management, vacancy management, maintenance etc.. Based on the opportunities and their respective value potential on one side and the estimated time to achieve first results, "Quick Wins", we then agree an action plan to achieve
 

Property Performance Improvement.

To avoid the purchase of non-performing properties we recommend a structured Pre-Acquisition process.

For translations of the German terminology an investor will inevitably come across in this process please refer to our Glossary of German Property terms and abbreviations on this website.
