Purchase of real estate in Berlin, EU analysts called the most sound investment. But do not get excited: the local market is more heterogeneous than - from luxury villas to the millions of vacant, abandoned the "dead" areas. The capital of Germany, in contrast to most European cities, has no single center. First, as a legacy of division of East and West remained the center of Berlin, respectively, the area of Zoo and Alexander Platz. Second, these two centers have equated the Potsdamer Platz (also as the center of town). And finally, third, each more or less large area of Berlin tries to declare it a major center and the only central to individual residents. This polycentrism must take into account, setting the stage for talking about the Berlin real estate market. From each edge of each center to grow, for example, prices for commercial real estate the German capital. By the way, and from center to center, prices also vary: the most expensive at the moment - Eastern Center in Berlin. Now the fashion streets surrounding the Alexander Platz, and it is here concentrated cultural and tourist life of the city. This is the area most visited shops, cafes and galleries - and here is the most expensive commercial property in Berlin. For example, in not the most crowded street of the city can remove the space for the cafe area of about 70 square meters. m on average for 2 thousand euros per month. And if you withdraw the 100 meters to a busy intersection, you would pay at least three times more expensive. With the rental housing situation even more complicated. Apartments, as well as offices and shops, from the edges of inner city Expensive districts to their middle, and thus no comparison with the price do not go rent the green outskirts of the city. The approximate average price for rental housing in the most prestigious centers of Berlin's two-bedroom apartments in old houses "fashionable" east cost from 200 to 300 euros a month, a huge five rooms in the renovated building - 800 euros. And if you limit the search area-status, you can get in half the amount. Naturally, prices gradually rise - by about 2% per year (the average figure for the city and surrounding area). Another seemingly paradox rent in towns east of Berlin at the same time are only cheaper. But this phenomenon we shall return. Why we started it with the lease, rather than buying it? The fact that in Germany there are no, if anything, the tradition of buying and building their own homes, but they have established a tradition of the lease. This does not mean that Berlin no one is buying real estate. Thus, in a recent survey on how people see their house the German capital, the vast majority responded the same way: the ideal accommodation for today's Berliner - a house with a garden on the south-west of the city. Another 30% of respondents chose an apartment with a woman "agree" on the living space of 75 square meters. m, while men were more demanding, as best describing the area of 100 "squares". As far as prices, in the green zone (within the reach of Skytrain, the so-called S-Bahn) on the average house will cost 210 thousand euro, to the east of the city - 180 thousand euros. In the most prestigious parts of the city can cost "any high level of" up to 410 thousand euros. Well, if you do not rely on the subway, the price spread is even wider. At the resort lakes in the Berlin of the earth, such as the Tegeler See, Van Zee, Shlahtenzee, Grunevaldzee, Müggelsee Rummelsburger and Zee build a luxury, very expensive for the German home. For example, the Wannsee villa can cost a million and a half million euros. While in the area between the Oder and Elbe more than a million homes and are completely empty and sold for a song: "GDR" housing first, does not meet modern standards, and secondly, let us down and the local infrastructure. In fact, its not for anyone to equip all more or less active population has long moved away to the West. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, most factories Ostie (a slang term for East Germans) were found to be unprofitable or do not meet environmental requirements. Accordingly, the work was gone. By the way, the process of resettlement in the West still is not finished yet, despite the fact that the country was unified 17 years ago. Analysts predict that by 2030 the East would leave another 360 thousand inhabitants. Abandoned houses are serving the local refuge "underground." Chances of eventually successfully sell or rent such homes are negligible. Generally, the dead city - one of the biggest problems of Berlin Land. The State had to adopt a program of demolition of abandoned and crumbling housing. 22 thousand apartments already demolished, 150 thousand destined for demolition. City, deserted by more than 30%, will merge or simply eliminated. Those same analysts say the European Union unanimously in mind that to date there is no more profitable and reliable investment than real estate in Berlin. For 2006, these investments have brought 15% of profits, given that prices have increased only by 2-3%. By the already mentioned 2030, according to forecasts, prices will rise by 4 times. German law regarding home buying by foreigners, not even members of the EU, rather liberal. There is no provision giving the Germans the benefits to customers from other countries. You can buy everything, including the monuments. Additional costs when buying property low: land tax is 3.5% of the amount fixed in the notarized contract of sale, 2% from the same amounts represent the costs of the notarial and legal form, brokerage typically cost 3-5% of the price the purchase. The only obstacle for those wishing to move into housing is purchased - the foreigners who do not live in Germany permanently, when buying a property can receive only the right to stay in the country from 2 to 6 months in a year without work. Ownership of real estate, alas, does not give the right to permanent residence.
