Many properties in Berlin can be upgraded by making architectural changes that will bring a maximal utilization of the residential space. An interior designer can make the apartment look very attractive. These kinds of changes are meant to improve the apartment and to increase its value when selling it or increase the return of investment when renting it.” 
The real estate market is a reflection of the major changes that Berlin is going through in the past few years, including the increasing migration into the city.

A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity

The fact that apartments’ prices in Berlin are within a reach is not going to last forever. The government of Germany is aiming to promote Berlin and make it into the vibrant center of the German economy. Therefore, it is working towards moving government institutions from Bonn to Berlin, a process that has been going on gradually in the past 5 years. In addition, building luxury apartments in the city center - currently at its peak - might increase prices, which will make finding a good real estate bargain much harder in the near future. It will result with the increase of tens of percent the value of properties of any current buyers. Also, unlike other cities, an average rental lease in Berlin is signed for a 5 years period and not one or two years. The rent for an apartment populated with old-time renters is 6 Euros per 1 meter and 10 Euros per 1 meter for new residents. These rates are still lower than rates in Munich, Kellen, Frankfurt or Hamburg, but real estate experts predict that the continuous flow of young crowd to bohemian and chic Berlin will result with the increase of the demand for renting small apartments. 

Another advantage is the possibility of renting a property through the assistance of management companies who have local branches in many countries, including Hong Kong and Berlin, and that gather under one umbrella all services needed for a potential buyer such as locating a property, assisting with bank financing in Germany, managing legal procedures, coordinating interior design and managing and renting the property. 

“The idea behind purchasing a property through a company is to maximize profits and minimize risks. Thanks to the many years of our experience with the real estate market in Berlin and with the help of our professional team, more Hongkongers realize that there’s nothing to worry about when it comes to investing overseas and that they can enjoy high profits from investing in real estate in Berlin,” states Adi Keizman, the founder of Berlin Estate. To conclude, if you have an available sum of money, don’t let it sleep in a bank account, while you can, in a careful and solid manner, make a nice and stable return through buying real estate in Berlin.
