reasons to invest

 
  1. Stable, reliable market with good growth prospects. Other countries e.g. Eastern Europe are open to more legal risks than Germany e.g. ownership disputes
  2. Low interest rates in comparison to the UK at between 4 & 5%
  3. If you buy a property in Germany, it can easily be rented out reliably and long term.
  4. Property prices have not moved in ten years making the properties very price worthy.
  5. There has been more activity in the purchase of commercial property recently e.g. Goldmann Sachs have just invested $4.6 billion in German Commercial Property.
  6. REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts ) has been introduced. A benefit of REITs is that they are not taxed at the corporate level, therefore avoiding double taxation for investors.
  7. Percentage of home owners currently low, giving good possibility of renting the property.
  8. Property investment in England involves high property prices and high interest rates on mortgages.
