BERLIN’S BUSINESS
AND INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
Small and medium-sized
companies make up the majority
of Berlin’s economy. Some of
the strongest sectors of Berlin’s
economy include electrical
engineering, food products,
chemicals, mechanical engineering
and motor vehicle manufacturing.
Its economy is primarily based on
the service sector, encompassing
a diverse range of creative
industries, media corporations, and
convention venues.
Berlin is among the top five
congress cities in the world and
contributes to the rapidly increasing
tourism sector numbered over
22 million overnight stays by 9.8
million tourists in 2011. Berlin also
serves as a continental hub for air
and rail transport, and over the last
recent years Berlin has established
itself as the third most visited city
destination in the European Union.
Residential property is the key
growth area in Germany right
now and its capital Berlin has the
biggest potential for growth. Most
of the 1.8 million apartments in
Berlin are rentals, averaging 84%
with long rental terms of typically
10-15 years, but in recent years
the choice of reasonably priced
and exclusive living space in
Berlins extremely varied districts
has increased. Rents are generally
lower than in any other major
German city but are widely
expected to increase significantly
over the next 10 years. Berlin is
currently seeing a net increase of
residents with many governmental
and large corporations relocating
staff there from other German
cities; this influx is driving rental
demand and rents upwards.
Bringing Berlin more in line
with the rest of Germany,
this alignment in the market
signifies a real buying
opportunity with strong
fundamentals supporting the
rise in rental yields.
If you are looking for a place to
live or general investment option,
Berlin has a lot to offer and won’t
disappoint.

TYPICAL BUYING PROCESS
Transaction costs:
Transaction costs typically
amount to 12-15% of the
purchase price:
• transfer tax (stamp duty) 3.5% –
5% (depending on state; since 1
April 2012 it’s 5% in Berlin)
• agent fee 6% + VAT (agent fee
structure varies state by state, in
Berlin the fee is payable by the
buyer, in some states it is split
between buyer and seller)
• notary and land registry 1.5 – 2%
• Other associated cost
– translations, mortgage
(if required; approx. 1%
arrangement fees)
Purchase process:
Purchasing a Germany property is
a straightforward process. After the
purchase is agreed a contract is
drawn up by the notary. A notary is
impartial to the buyer and seller and
is responsible for the tasks that, in
the UK, are performed by a solicitor
(title/land registry checks, preparing
purchase contracts and ensuring
fair contract conditions, etc). Both
parties need to be present at
the notary at contract signing or,
alternatively, can be represented
by another party with a power-of-
attorney. Upon payment settlement
the notary requests ownership
changes at the land registry.
Mortgages:
Mortgages are available for
German property depending on
the applicant’s financial status as
well as the property. Depending
on property and applicant’s status,
loans of up to 60-70% LTV are
possible (in very rare cases up
to 80%). German nationals can,
in some cases, obtain a higher
LTV. All applicants must provide
last three years of tax returns,
employment contract and pay
slips, bank statements, proof of
assets/liabilities, etc. While German
banks tend to view self-employed
applicants less favourably,
mortgages are typically available
provided all required documents
are supplied.
Running costs:
This will depend on the
provisions of the rental contract
agreed with the tenant. For
residential properties, all costs
except property management,
maintenance and repairs can
generally be passed onto the
tenant. Costs for property
management are typically 25-35
euro per unit per month. Rental
management is a separate service
from property (house) management
and can be provided by the same
or another company (as house
management). The fee for rental
management is generally 25-30
euro per apartment per month.
(In case of entire blocks only one
management fee applies and
usually covers both house and
rental management services.)
German tax:
German tax law is among the most
complex in the world. It is therefore
a must for any investor to consult
a German tax advisor and/or
accountant, in order to determine
the most tax efficient structure. In
general, foreigners with no other
German income but rental income
on property will usually be subject
to the lower tax rates (though
this will depend on the size of
investments – income is subject
to a progressive tax). mortgages
are typically available provided all
required documents are supplied.
