The higher the yield, the greater the return you are making on an investment in relation to is original cost.

Average gross yields in London and Paris are now below 5%. You can take out loans at 2 to 3% in Germany and the return on that investment is above 6% and sometimes higher, as high as 8%. This means that a Berlin Property investment is currently one of the most sound investment options.

The notary system ensures safe title so the purchase of your Berlin apartment will be deemed to be safe. A notary is a public officer who takes an oath and declaration and is able to authorise legal documentation within the jurisdiction of the country they serve. In some countries, notaries train and many also are required to work as an apprentice before being commissioned or licensed. In general, these are lawyers who go through additional training before being allowed to practice as a notary public.

The purchase of your Berlin property investment will be just as safe as if you were purchasing a property in the UK.  

More Berlin Residents are opting to purchase their own property

Traditionally, property in Berlin is rented, only 18% of the Berlin population own their own Berlin property. This is mainly due to subsidised housing provided by the old east German government. However as rents increase and more residents are opting to buy their own Berlin Properties, rental prices will rise accordingly. Also foreign investment companies are snapping up large amounts of property in Berlin. This is therefore an extremely good time to climb onto the Berlin real estate market.
