GERMAN MARKET NEWS MORE CONFIDENCE IN REAL ESTATE THAN IN OTHER BUSINESS SECTORS July 10th, 2013

LBS FORECAST: PRICES FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TO RISE BY 3% IN 2013 May 7th, 2013

THE INGREDIENTS OF GERMAN ECONOMIC SUCCESS July 26th, 2013 With a culture of thrift and, now, a fast-ageing society, Germany naturally saves more than it spends. (Barring a few years after unification, it has run an almost uninterrupted surplus since 1952.) But its currentaccount surplus, at 7% of GDP, is now more than three times higher than it was a decade ago, largely thanks to an artificially cheap currency and squeezed wages. It is unhealthy, both for Germans (who forgo higher living standards to pile up savings that are poorly invested abroad) and for others in the euro zone and beyond.

German economists recognise that this has to change. Hans-Werner Sinn of Munich’s IFO economic research institute says the country is “too cheap”.

But how best to rebalance the economy: through less saving or more investment? As a share of GDP

8

German investment has fallen sharply, from 22% in 2000 to 17% in 2012. Public investment has been squeezed, firms have been cautious about capital spending and in the absence of a property boom there has been little investment in construction.

Property is now beginning to look up. Ultra-low interest rates are pushing up house prices and spurring building. After a decade of stagnation, German property prices rose by 5% (in nominal terms) in both 2011 and 2012. Cities like Berlin and Munich have seen much bigger jumps. Taxi drivers offer tips on the best place to buy a flat. But there is a long way to go.

Relative to income, German property prices are still 20% undervalued.

The real estate industry in Germany is optimistic and, against the trend in other industries, plans to increase investment and add employees. These are the findings of a Deloitte survey in which 92% of the responding real estate CFOs expressed a positive outlook for Germany’s economy, while in other industries that number was only 56%. The real estate CFOs (85%) said they are still expecting rising revenues, compared to 36% in the other branches. The top business strategy priority for the property industry is to increase operating cash flow. Following that is cutting costs and reducing debt. The largest risk factors are now seen to be rising energy costs and the instability of the financial system.

The price trend on the German residential market is upwards in almost all of the regions and segments. It is expected that the most dynamic sector will continue to be southern Germany. By the end of the year, the purchase prices for German residential properties are likely to rise by another 2-4%. All of these findings are presented in “Markt für Wohnimmobilien 2013,” an analysis compiled by LBS. In the past ten years, prices especially for new condominiums have increased almost everywhere. However, with the exclusion of Germany’s southern and southwestern cities, prices for preexisting houses and condominiums are barely higher than in the spring of 2003. The highest prices for both are in the southern areas. Prices for construction sites also show enormous differences: in medium to large cities in southern Germany, the going price of €380/ sqm is three times higher than in the north (€120) and five times higher than in the east (€70).

BERLIN – THE PLACE TO BE

Berlin is a capital city of Federal Republic of Germany with a population of 3.5million. By international comparison, the German capital is the second largest city in the European Union in terms of its population and the fifth largest in terms of its area.

Berlin is home to renowned universities, research institutes, orchestras, museums, and celebrities, and hosts many sporting events. After the fall of the wall, Berlin has evolved into a cultural mecca and has become a centre for art, design, multimedia, electronic music, and fashion among other things. With 175 museums, Berlin has more museums than rainy days. It also boasts more than 50 theatres and around 300 cinemas.

Particularly appealing is also Berlins green spots with over a third of the city’s

10

extensive surface covered by sweeping parks, forests, lakes, rivers and canals.

Public transport in Berlin is thorough and efficient with the railway and bus network the fastest way of getting around the capital. The city is well known for its festivals, diverse architecture, nightlife, shopping, contemporary arts and a high quality of living.

You may find yourself wandering around one of the many central districts of Berlin, each of them being perfectly self-sufficient with plenty of small cafes, various restaurants and local designer boutiques allowing you to explore the diverse personality of this exciting city.

BERLIN’S EXPANDING BUSINESS SCENE 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. Not only is it the city of choice for tech entrepreneurs, fashion designers, and artists, but also Twitter will be opening an office in Berlin.

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. The population of the city is rising at an increasingly robust rate, with more recent projections putting Berlin closer to 3.7 or 3.8 million residents by 2020. With its traditional industries all expanding and a flourishing startup and technology scene, increased economic opportunity is coupling with the larger macroeconomic picture to make the city’s property market very solid.

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MARKET

BERLIN’S INVESTMENT PROSPECTS

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.

Furthermore, tenants in Berlin pay for all the running costs of a building such as insurance, snow clearance, and other service charges. The only costs sustained by the owner are building maintenance and a property management fee.

Berlin real estate is considered to be prime residential market in Europe, surpassing by far most other cities.

The reasons are related to the low purchase prices in Berlin, in contrast to its first-class rental prices and its blossoming economy.

Historically, Berlin’s attraction for young people has been helped by cheap rents. But this is changing as interest in inner-city luxury apartments grows. This is especially true in districts such as Mitte, which has seen significant rent increases. Pension funds, listed firms, and private equity players, as well as wealthy Germans, are now among the city’s residential landlords. Property prices can double in Berlin, and they would still be affordable in comparison to other European cities. What makes this city great, from its homes to its people, is being dramatically enhanced by the changes at hand. The possibilities for the next decade are seemingly endless.

BEST SECTORS FOR ACQUISITIONS IN 2013, BY CITY

Dubbed “Silicon Allee”, Berlin’s technology, media and creative industries total almost 37,000 companies with an annual turnover of €26 billion. While the clean technologies sector employs more there than anywhere else in Germany. The real estate market is responding to this growth, especially in residential – the most popular sector with survey respondents.

Real estate still provides a “hard yield in a low-yielding world”. As with debt, investors are still seeking safety first, returns second. Fresh debt is increasingly expensive. As banks seek to meet higher funding costs and their required return on equity, margins have ticked up. But low interest rates are helping to keep the all-in cost of borrowing at affordable levels.

Existing Property Performance

Speaking specifically about mortgage rates in Germany, it is remarkable to see how these interest rates decreased during the last ten years, as appreciated in the graph below. This boosted the acquisition of real estate projects as it became easier and more affordable to lend money, especially when comparing to what was the situation ten years ago.

The rate in the graph below is calculated as the development of interest rates based on the DGZF Pfandbrief curve - with a margin of about 0.5% to 1%.

All these economical aspects provide a positive impression of the German economy, especially during rough times for most other European countries and global partners. The positive situation for interest rates and Germany’s fundamentals is reflected also by the AAA rating of Germany issued by S&P, where Germany is considered as one of the most reliable partners. These aspects also influence some specific features, such as the cost for financing. In fact, due to Germany’s particular strengths, low interest rates can be maintained. Furthermore, the European Central Bank’s rate on the marginal lending facility (which offers overnight credit to banks in the euro area) played an important role, currently at an all-time low of 0.5% since January 2013.

TYPICAL BUYING PROCESS Transaction costs:

Mortgages:

Transaction costs typically amount to 12-15% of the purchase price:

• Other associated cost – translations, mortgage (if required; approx. 1% arrangement fees)

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.

Purchase process:

Running costs:

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-ofattorney. Upon payment settlement the notary requests ownership changes at the land registry.

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.

• 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%

30

(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.
