Foreign Investors Purchasing Berlin Property

Foreign investors purchasing property in Berlin have increased dramatically since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Individuals looking for investment opportunities have flooded to Berlin and at one stage represented over 80% of all purchases for DANZIGER & WEIBEZAHL in a year when 500 transactions were completed.

It is not just individual investors who have taken advantage of the Berlin property investment market, but some major investment companies that have included George Soros, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

There are a number of attractions to foreign buyers:
  1. The low entry point for investing into Berlin property - as little as €35,000 can secure you your own apartment.
  2. High rental yields of 5 - 7% is common
  3. Increased prominence of Berlin as a European capital
  4. The movement of the German government to Berlin
  5. 75 billion euros that have been invested in the infrastructure
  6. In excess of 40 corporate’s have created headquarters in Berlin
  7. Over 155,000 foreigners have been attracted to Berlin in the last 10 years
  8. The demand for property has increased along with the population
  9. Less property development taking place meaning supply is dwindling and old properties are not being replaced
  10. Its geographical and historical ties to new markets in the old Eastern block countries
  11. The transparent and regulated buying process
  12. Hedging of investment portfolios with an exposure to the Euro
  13. The prominent role Germany (and Berlin) are playing in the increasingly influential expansion of the European community
  14. The excellent infrastructure - Europes busiest train station and the coming of the new airport
  15. Now the third largest tourist attraction in Europe
  16. The regulations around rental contracts smoothing out the boom and bust cycles associated with other countries property markets
  17. Returns on investment normally associated with developing countries but without this associated risk
  18. The attraction and establishment of ITC industries
  19. The ease of purchase for foreigners
  20. The ability to negate capital gains tax after 10 years in certain circumstances

The most prominent foreign buyers remain Irish, UK, Italian and Russian but the opening of DANZIGER & WEIBEZAHL African office in Cape Town, South Africa has seen remarkable interest from African investors seeking property investment opportunities.

DANZIGER & WEIBEZAHL property consultants specialise in assisting foreign buyers and have tailored our services over the last 20 years to ensure foreign buyers have access to all the best properties, services and after sales support to ensure not just a successful purchase but a successful investment.
