 changed and who are prepared to adapt.&nbsp;Economic outlookBased on projections that the number of new infections will fall steadily over the next year and that an effective vaccine will be available the following year, Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) expects the UK economy to recover to pre-COVID
 levels of growth by mid-2022.Unemployment will likely take longer to return to former levels, with many industries being hit hard by the pandemic, but the rate is expected to stabilize around 3.5% by the end of 2025. With interest rates and income growth at
 historic lows, housing affordability during this period should offer many excellent prospects for domestic and overseas property investment.&nbsp;Residential outlookJLL research predicts a bumpy road of generally positive growth for UK house prices over the next five years. The current strong recovery of residential property prices is expected to continue through to March 2021, when the changes
 in Stamp Duty come into effect for overseas property transactions and prices decline. A resurgence of growth is expected from 2022, dependent on a COVID-19 vaccine being in wide circulation.Rental growth is also expected to decline in 2021 as the British Government's job retention furlough scheme ends, which could see many lower to middle income earners facing redundancy. Private housing starts and transactions will
 be well below numbers predicted before the pandemic, but are expected to recover from 2022 as confidence returns to the sector.&nbsp;London and South East EnglandThe Prime Central London property markets are comparative safe havens for investment in times of financial crisis, and price and rent growth are expected to resurge as early as 2021. Greater London property as a whole is also expected
 to prove its resilience with flat house prices in 2021 before growth resumes in 2022. Buyers will increasingly favour outlying districts and regions, especially with the arrival of Crossrail services connecting the South East.&nbsp;East and South West England, the Midlands and WalesJLL forecasts Birmingham's sales and rental markets for the strongest growth in the UK over the next five years, supported by the HS2 rail service and 2022 Commonwealth Games. Bristol has the potential to be a favoured alternative
 to London for commuters and home owners if the undersupply of private sale apartments is addressed.&nbsp;Northern EnglandNorth East England is set to be the worst affected housing market in the UK as the region faces 11% unemployment by 2021. The major northern cities of Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds are expected to fare better with generally flat
 prices in 2021 and strong growth from 2022, underpinned by the ongoing housing shortfall.&nbsp;ScotlandWhile Scotland house prices are set to fall in line with the UK average, its two major cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow will see stronger performance. Demand for Edinburgh city centre apartments will continue to outpace supply,
 while the &pound;35 million regeneration of the River Clyde will create more opportunities in Glasgow.&nbsp;Changing buyer demandsBeyond economic factors, changing trends in what home buyers and tenants are looking for in properties will drive some of these changes in the markets. The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the pace of some ongoing trends while
 creating or reversing others.One of the biggest changes brought about by the pandemic is the rise of remote working. As people spend more time working and shopping from home, sellers and developers need to satisfy the growing demand for a flexible work-leisure
 space, access to nature and reliable broadband speeds in properties.While the growth of cities will continue, a notable shift is underway of affluent young families favoring greener outskirts and suburbs over city centers to satisfy their changing living needs. This could mean that access to public
 transport and amenities are no longer the priorities they were for a significant portion of home buyers, opening up more opportunities in previously overlooked locations.For more insights on the real estate markets and residential properties in the UK,&nbsp;<a href="https://internationalresidential.jll.com.hk/insights">click here</a>&nbsp;or

Shortage in supply of new-built condominium pushes up demands in resale marketThe sustainable growth of the Japan property market has been supported by a steadily growing population in the metropolitan areas. As such, the shortage in supply of new-built condominium is leading more people to turn their eyes towards relatively new condominiums in the resale market. The Japanese traditionally favor new-built housing, but the recent trends tell us that there has been a change in the people&rsquo;s perceptions in the age of a building or property. Today, we will look at more insights of the recent trend in resale market.&nbsp;Demand of housing remains strongThe population growth in metropolitan areas like Tokyo has been showing a steady increase. COVID-19 has changed our living and working styles in various ways, but the impact on housing demand is limited. Market observers commented that more people from the city central areas are moving to spacious houses in countryside because of working from home (WFH) was being introduced during the state of emergency in April 2020. Indeed, according to the survey by Tokyo Shoko Research survey, 56% of companies adopted WFH at the time. However, in August, the companies still continuing with WFH reduced to 34.40%.<img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1604048932/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/ero0fqciryndjmnynjms.png" />Looking at the demographic movement in Tokyo, COVID-19 did affect the population movements, but not to the extent to call it as a population outflow. Indeed, demography by nationality showed the decrease in population was largely contributed by foreign residents returning back to their countries. As of August 1, Japanese population has increased by 58,114 comparing with January, while foreigner population has reduced by 4%. &nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1604048947/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/xpkvp0uuxvy02wjjflzb.png" />In the long term, population growth is still in an upward trend. On year on year basis, the Japanese population in metropolitan areas is increasing, despite the state of emergency was announced in April to May period disrupted the usual influx of people expected for every new school year and fiscal year starting in April.Fortunately, real estate sales activity has sprung back to what it used to be before COVID-19. There is still a great demand for condominiums from the local owner occupiers and the decrease of foreigners do not seem to affect sales. When businesses resumed after the state of emergency, local buyers started actively looking for housing like before. On year on year basis, there were even more transactions in the resale market in August.<img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1604048955/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/egis2jqkdz54exwikyre.png" />Shortage of supply in new-built condominiumsIn recent years, the supply of new-built condominiums in Tokyo has been decreasing, despite of the growing population and housing demands. The choice limitations turned buyers to the resale market for secondary alternatives. Land acquisition has always been very competitive in the already developed central areas in Tokyo. As city urbanization continues, the shortage of supply in new-built properties is expected to push up the demands of resale apartments.<img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1604048962/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/rlydutul78bb4sysuj5h.png" />Properties below 20 years are actively sought afterNew-built housing has always been the most preferred option for Japanese, because historically, houses in Japan were built by wood. It was believed that the newer the house, the better would be its durability. However, the situations are different today. With fewer new-built options and the advancement of superior construction qualities, resale apartments are generally now more accepted.As more buyers opt for resale markets as a substitute for new-built apartments, it resulted in the majority of transaction volumes concentrated in the relatively new buildings with age below 20 years. In terms of the transaction ratio against the supply, the building aged between 6 to 10 years shows the highest demand last year, followed by those of 11 to 15 years, 16 to 20 years and 0 to 5 years.<img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1604048978/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/kwv1t4fv292bda3f6tfz.png" />Recommendation is up to 15 years oldThe observations showed that transaction volume zone is within 20 years old and so, investing in property below15 years is the best recommendation with consideration of the exit timing as well. Although buildings of 20 years old might sound &ldquo;old&rdquo; for overseas investors, the locals feel differently. Although traditionally the Japanese adore new-built properties, nowadays more people are realizing that the construction qualities after the millennium 2000 have become excellent to provide strong durability. Especially properties from established developers are well-maintianed in very good conditions, which makes it no big difference to the new-built ones.Many Japanese developers have their own prestige brand names for their condominiums. Therefore, they put in their utmost efforts in maintaining their quality and reputation. Often, the building management is by developer&rsquo;s subsidiary company so as to make sure the same brand quality is achieved.Because of the superior construction quality, it is unlikely that owners of such condominiums will need to pay substantial amounts for maintenance in the first 10 years. That is why many property management companies offers guarantee plans that cover minor repair costs, as there is not much pay out expected during this period of time.After the first decade, some replacements of appliances like air-cons, dishwashers, water-heaters may be required due to service lifespans, but in general, the properties will look no inferior to new-built ones and are equally competitive in the markets.&nbsp;Property price continues to grow in prime locationsBoth resale and new-built condominiums in Tokyo have been on a steep price growth since 2013. The growth until 2016 were largely affected by the great expectations towards Tokyo Olympic game, which has brought significant impacts on the property markets not only in Tokyo central, but also to surrounding areas. The growth in the most recent couple years was due to more sustainable and rational factors. Good connectivity, prime locations, redevelopment and superior quality apartments are enjoying appreciation, whereas those properties without these factors are being left behind from the continuous growths.The demand for a good property in terms of quality and location is expected to remain strong in central area, as working in office is still a daily norm for majority. The shortage of new home supply will still continue, as land acquisitions will remain competitive in prime locations, which in turn can push up values of the existing good properties. It is therefore a good opportunity to widen your options to consider resale properties with strong growth factors.<img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1604048986/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/wywnc5fnevnkmps6xaqz.png" />For more information, please contact us at +852 3759 0909 or email us at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:irp.hk@ap.jll.com">irp.hk@ap.jll.com</a>&nbsp;or enquire now from&nbsp; <a href="https://internationalresidential.jll.com.hk/insights/article/tokyo-resale-property-market-overview?utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=japan-resale-market&amp;utm_content=article">here</a>.

One of London's most central and significant regeneration projects, the &pound;15 billion Nine Elms and Battersea development has transformed the UK capital's last major industrial estate into prime Zone 1 real estate. Planned to complete in 2025, the regeneration of Nine Elms will add around 20,000 new homes, offering overseas property investors the rare opportunity to purchase Central London property at lower prices than more established areas.This mixed-use district will also feature 3.2 million square feet of new office space and 6.5 million square feet of retail, dining and leisure space, much of this in the refurbished Battersea Power Station that will soon be a new home for Apple and other prestigious global brands. New transport infrastructure will serve the district and connect it to the wider city, including a footbridge across the River Thames and two new stations extending the London Underground Northern Line.Lexington Gardens at Nine Elms is the flagship residential development serving the new community, comprising three distinctive buildings in landscaped grounds amid the buzz of the international quarter. Lexington Gardens is a short walk from the new Nine Elms Underground station for journeys across London and convenient international connections.&nbsp;International prestige with local flavorThe establishment of the new US Embassy and Apple's 500,000-square-foot campus at Battersea were early endorsements for this up-and-coming district, and other forward-thinking businesses have taken note. More than 70 percent of commercial space in the Power Station has already been leased ahead of the 2021 opening of the iconic London landmark, which will be home to more than 100 brands across technology, retail, food, leisure and other diverse industries.As well as the boutiques and markets at Battersea's Circus West, the upscale department stores and Michelin-starred restaurants of Knightsbridge and Chelsea can be found directly across the river. The South Bank itself is one of London's leading culture hubs for sophisticated nights out, while other destinations such as the West End will be in easy reach once services begin from the new Underground stations next year.Services from Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station will take 11 minutes to reach the City of London financial center and less than 50 minutes to London's three busiest airports. Students and families with children will also find a Nine Elms address convenient for accessing London's many prestigious schools and universities, including King's College, Imperial College and University College London.&nbsp;Exceptional city livingLexington Gardens at Nine Elms is part of the wider regeneration project, extending the South Bank and incorporating a stretch of the new Linear Park that runs from Battersea to Vauxhall. Green space and walkways connect its three eye-catching residential buildings, designed by RMA Architects to fuse London heritage with New York style.This sophistication extends to the interiors. The latest phase at Lexington Gardens to launch, offers 126 private one, two and three-bedroom apartments with spacious living areas, a choice of stylish color palettes and full-height windows and a balcony or terrace overlooking the gardens and the River Thames. The luxury lifestyle is supported by a suite of exclusive resident amenities that includes a private gymnasium, media room, roof garden and 24-hour concierge service.&nbsp;For more information about this opportunity and other residential properties in London,&nbsp;contact JLL International Properties at +852 3759 0909 or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:irp.hk@ap.jll.com">irp.hk@ap.jll.com</a>.

New residential quarter in scenic Staines-upon-Thames offers the London lifestyle without the expensive price tagLondon is still one of the most competitive markets for overseas property investment in 2020, especially for buyers who complete transactions before the 2% increase in stamp duty comes into effect next April. Investing in London property can be even more affordable when following the demand to outlying areas that balance cheaper prices and peaceful countryside living with convenient access to the city, such as Staines-upon-Thames.This picturesque town on the River Thames is just 30 minutes from Central London, offering direct access to London's financial, cultural and education institutions for professionals and families. More than half of migration into the local area comes from London boroughs, contributing to a projected 24% increase in households by 2039. With 500 new homes required every year to meet this demand, and supply falling far short, house prices are expected to grow by 7.6% per annum from 2020 to 2024, according to Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL). Rental growth is forecast at 8.2% per annum over the same period.Nick Whitten, JLL UK Head of Residential Research, explains: &ldquo;We expect history to repeat itself with Greater London and South East locations performing the strongest as we emerge from the COVID-19 crisis, just as they did coming out of the Global Financial Crisis. Once the dust settles house prices and rents will begin to grow again from as soon as 2021 in locations with strong demand fundamentals such as Staines.&rdquo;Helping to meet the high demand from migrating Londoners and investors is Eden Grove, a new residential quarter in Staines-upon-Thames by leading UK developer Berkeley. A short walk from the main shopping streets and rail connections to London, and less than three miles from the UK's largest airport, Eden Grove is now welcoming overseas buyers looking for alternative London property.&nbsp;The best of both worldsOn the edge of London's green belt, Staines-upon-Thames is surrounded by protected green space, from riverside paths and formal gardens to the open Surrey countryside. Some of England's most popular attractions are close by, including royal Windsor and Hampton Court Palace, celebrated sport grounds Ascot Racecourse and Twickenham, and the modern thrills of Thorpe Park theme park.For families with children and other students, living in Staines-upon-Thames puts some of the UK's most prestigious education opportunities close at hand, from highly-rated local primary and secondary schools to notable colleges and universities. Eton College and Royal Holloway University are in the local area, while Imperial College, King's College London and the London School of Economics are less than an hour away.The market town itself may be small, but it's not lacking in amenities. The historic high street offers an eclectic mix of global brands and independent boutiques, with dining options from Michelin-starred restaurants and gastropubs to international cuisine. As a business destination, Staines-upon-Thames ranks in the top 10% in the UK for economic growth potential, according to dataloft and UKCI, with more than 1,100 businesses opening since 2010. Global companies including bp, Bupa, Netflix and Salesforce have chosen the area for their local headquarters, drawn by its cheaper property prices and convenient access to London and Heathrow Airport.&nbsp;Landscaped luxury livingThe signature new residential development of Staines-upon-Thames, Eden Grove is an attractive collection of contemporary homes arranged as pavilions around a landscaped garden and central water feature. Oriented to maximize natural daylight, the spacious open-plan apartments are fitted out with the latest appliances and quality materials, available in a choice of stylish color palettes. Residents at Eden Grove will also have exclusive access to premium amenities rarely found in the local area, including a private gym, cinema and co-working space and a 24-hour concierge in the lobby.&nbsp;For more information about Eden Grove and other residential properties in London,&nbsp; <a href="https://internationalresidential.jll.com.hk/search?utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=eden-grove&amp;utm_content=article">click here</a>&nbsp;or contact JLL International Residential at +852 3759 0909 or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:irp.hk@ap.jll.com">irp.hk@ap.jll.com</a>.

<h2>The four-season resort development is exempt from normal restrictions on overseas property investment in Switzerland</h2>&nbsp;From synthetic snow to wellness, leading ski resorts around the world are coming up with creative solutions to the threats posed by climate change. For one resort village in the Swiss Alps, this has included breaking long-standing rules on foreign real estate transactions by inviting overseas buyers to invest in exclusive apartments and chalets.The Lex Koller law places severe restrictions on overseas property investment and sales in Switzerland, which normally require special permission, lengthy holding periods and other barriers. However, in 2007 the Swiss federal government ruled to make the Andermatt Swiss Alps resort exempt from these restrictions, as well as from the Lex Weber Second Home Law that enforces strict limits on residential construction.This presents overseas buyers with a unique opportunity to acquire their own holiday home or investment property in the Swiss Alps, where demand and prices for luxury apartments have skyrocketed in recent years. As well as being part of the popular Andermatt&ndash;Sedrun&ndash;Disentis ski route, Andermatt Swiss Alps is growing a reputation as an all-season retreat with new attractions including an 18-hole championship golf course, fine dining restaurants and a year-round culture program.&nbsp;<h2>Heart of the Swiss Alps</h2>&nbsp;Just 90 minutes from Zurich and two hours from Milan, this charming mountain village in the Ursern Valley has been a popular winter holiday destination for centuries. Since the millennium, Andermatt has diversified into a year-round resort, following a sensitive development program that's taken care to preserve its traditional heritage and natural surroundings.From November to May, Andermatt is thronged by skiers, snowboarders, snowshoe trekkers and other winter sports enthusiasts eager to experience the famous steep pistes and deep-snow descents of the Gemsstock. In the warmer months, golfers of all abilities can take on the 18-hole, par 72 championship course and the Alpine scenery makes a dramatic backdrop for more than 500 kilometers of hiking and cycling trails.There's plenty to keep visitors and residents busy in the evenings too, from a world-class concert hall and other cultural venues to stores and a growing roster of food and drink options, all within walking distance in the car-free village. Andermatt is also home to the five-star deluxe hotel The Chedi Andermatt and four-star conference hotel Radisson Blu Reussen, with more hotels, apartments and chalets in the development pipeline.&nbsp;<h2>Modern Alpine villas</h2>&nbsp;The Andermatt Responsible campaign promotes sustainable tourism and development to help preserve the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps. All apartment buildings and hotels in the village are built in compliance with the energy-efficient MINERGIE&reg; standard and draw their electricity and heat from renewable sources. Underground parking is available for guests arriving by road, but the village itself is kept car-free.Overseas buyers have a choice of practical studios, spacious apartments and deluxe penthouses at Andermatt Swiss Alps. The latest buildings to enter the market are Arve Chalet Apartments, an exclusive apartment block located in the heart of the village, and Enzian Alpine Apartments, which offer private gardens and roof terraces. All residences at Andermatt blend traditional Alpine villa architecture with modern interior design and generous storage space.International buyers will enjoy tax breaks when investing in real estate in Andermatt and can buy, sell and lease properties without restriction. Since many purchases are for investment property, Andermatt Swiss Alps offers property management services to take care of all cleaning and maintenance in owners' absence and a complete rental program to market and fill rental vacancies all year round.&nbsp;For more information about Andermatt Swiss Alps and other residential properties in Europe,&nbsp;<a href="https://internationalresidential.jll.com.hk/exclusive-properties-in-the-heart-of-the-swiss-alps?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_campaign=switzerland-2020&amp;utm_content=irp-listing-en">click here</a>&nbsp;or contact JLL International Properties at +852 3759 0909 or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:irp.hk@ap.jll.com">irp.hk@ap.jll.com</a>.

Latimer Homes' new development in booming Salford Quays is addressing the high demand for well-connected Manchester property&nbsp;No longer in the shadow of London, Manchester is becoming a popular alternative to the British capital and gaining a reputation as one of the best places to live, work, study and invest in Europe. Making its name in textiles, today Manchester's diverse economy is second in the UK only to London and its cultural and sporting legacy is renowned worldwide. With more firms relocating to Manchester and employment growth outpacing other regional capitals, demand is high for quality housing in the northern city.&nbsp;&ldquo;When thinking of the UK's strongest property markets, Manchester continues to be in a league of its own,&rdquo; said Elaine Rossall, UK head of offices research at Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL). &ldquo;Job creation is at record levels and is spread across a range of sectors. Commercial development is increasingly catering to occupier demand and this is translating into positive, continued growth across the other property markets.&rdquo;&nbsp;Manchester house prices have grown by 19 percent on average since 2016, compared with just one percent growth in London over the same period, according to Land Registry figures. JLL forecasts a further 17 percent growth in property values over the next five years and average rental yields of five percent &ndash; twice that of London rental property. This substantial price growth is driven by the shortfall of available housing, with an estimated 55,000 properties needed to support the city's projected population growth over the next 10 years.&nbsp;New developments in prime locations are addressing this shortfall and creating opportunities for overseas property investment in Manchester. One notable project preparing to launch internationally is Amplify Apartments, a collection of apartments and duplex townhouses at Salford Quays, Manchester's revitalized waterfront district and the home of creative hub MediaCityUK.&nbsp;<h2>Northern powerhouse</h2>&nbsp;With the UK economy now in the recovery phase following Brexit, Manchester's economy is forecast to grow by two percent per annum, above the national average. More than 1.4 million people work in the Greater Manchester area at 105,000 businesses, including 80 members of the FTSE 100. Salford Quays is the home of broadcasters BBC and ITV, among other household names, and less than 15 minutes from Manchester city center.&nbsp;A packed events calendar and new restaurants, bars and cafes opening every week mean there's no danger of running out of things to do in Manchester. The Northern Quarter comes alive in the evening with live music and craft beer, while New Cathedral Street is the destination for fashion shopping and everything else can be found at Manchester Arndale, the largest inner city shopping mall in the UK. Local icons such as The Lowry art center and Old Trafford football stadium are just minutes from the city center or Salford Quays.&nbsp;Manchester also has a sizeable student population, with more than 100,000 students attending institutions such as the University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan and the University of Salford. With one of the highest graduate retention rates of any UK city, many students choose to stay in Manchester permanently, maintaining long-term demand for property.&nbsp;<h2>City living by the Quays</h2>&nbsp;The signature new residential development of Salford Quays, Amplify Apartments combines close proximity to Manchester's finance, retail and culture districts with the serenity of waterside living. Buyers have a choice of one, two or three-bedroom apartments and townhouses designed for modern urban living. Full-height windows let natural light into the open-plan living spaces, furnished with vinyl wood effect flooring, integrated Bosch appliances in kitchens and connected media services. Residents can also make use of an onsite concierge and private rooftop garden.&nbsp;From the apartments, it's just five minutes' walk to Salford Quays tram stop, which reaches St Peter's Square in the city center in 13 minutes. By train from Manchester Piccadilly station it's a two-hour journey to London, while international connections from Manchester Airport are just 20 minutes' drive from the apartments or less than an hour by tram, making a Manchester address convenient for global business and investment.&nbsp;For more information about Amplify Apartments and other residential properties in Manchester,&nbsp; <a href="https://internationalresidential.jll.com.hk/insights/research/amplify-apartments-manchester-waterfront-homes-in-the-uk%25s-fastest-growing-regional-economy?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_campaign=amplify&amp;utm_content=irp-listing-en">click here</a>&nbsp;or contact JLL International Properties at +852 3759 0909 or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:irp.hk@ap.jll.com">irp.hk@ap.jll.com</a>.

Hong Kong property investors looking to Europe have traditionally focused on London, but events over the last few years have seen an increasing number expanding their horizons to other markets. With strong price growth, a stable economy, record low unemployment, and a growing population in need of properties to rent, Germany's capital Berlin has emerged as the strongest contender.A global capital of culture and heritage, Berlin's booming tech economy and high quality of life make it one of the most popular places to live in Europe among students and professionals alike. With house prices growing around 10 percent each year, according to Deutsche Bank, it's a big hit with residential investors too. Berlin took first place in PwC's Emerging Trends in Real Estate report for the last three consecutive years for its overall investment and development prospects.Berlin received more institutional investment than any other city in Europe last year at &euro;3.7 billion (HKD 33.7 billion). This growth was partly driven by a rise in foreign investment, including several large-scale transactions such as US billionaire Warren Buffett's &euro;3.8 million acquisition of a luxury real estate agency. While most foreign capital originated in established markets such as France, Switzerland, and Israel, there was also a noticeable rise in investment from further afield.Price and rent gains continueWith one of the world's lowest home ownership rates, Berlin is a perfect fit for landlords looking for buy-to-let investment properties&mdash;but there can be considerable differences across city districts and price brackets.Last year, the weakest rent growth was seen in the lower end of the market, owing to increased competition from the government's affordable housing provision. At the opposite end of the scale, luxury apartments in prime locations saw the highest rental growth, with new builds letting for &euro;15 to &euro;17 per square meter per month (HKD 137&ndash;155) in the traditionally expensive districts of Mitte, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg.For Berlin residents who prefer to buy, condominiums are the main focus of new build activity in the city. Condominiums appeal to city dwellers looking for a stable long-term investment as well as to buy-to-sell investors looking for a faster turnover when the price cycle peaks. By the end of 2017, new condominiums in Berlin city center were fetching approximately &euro;4,000 (HKD 36,400) per square meter. Condominium prices have more than doubled since 2010.No end to supply shortage<img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/v1533892461/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/kpjsstkbceveigdmuepu.jpg" />Lack of housing supply is a problem facing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.scmp.com/presented/business/topics/invest-overseas-properties/article/2157390/overseas-buyers-driving-double">many European markets</a>, but the market is particularly squeezed in Berlin. The government's emphasis on affordable municipal housing with capped rents means that building permits are strictly limited for private developers. Much development activity instead involves refurbishing existing housing stock to add extra floors or turn old rental apartments into modern condominiums. However, this too is being hindered as wider areas of central Berlin are designated conservation areas and become ineligible for redevelopment.While Berlin's housing shortage will likely continue to frustrate tenants and investors for years to come, there are already signs that things are improving. The number of building permits has been rising sharply each year and reached a new height of 22,000 units in 2017. This trend is expected to continue as more projects begin construction this year. Population growth has also started to slow down, dropping from more than 60,000 in 2016 to less than 40,000 in 2017 as migration into Germany declines.With tough competition and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.scmp.com/presented/business/topics/invest-overseas-properties/article/2099176/berlin-property-what-you-need">complex property laws</a>&nbsp;that can be intimidating for first-time buyers, investing in Berlin property isn't without its headaches. But as a lucrative and comparatively secure investment, it's easy to see why Germany's capital remains Europe's hottest pick year after year.For more information about residential properties in Berlin, please&nbsp;<a href="https://internationalresidential.jll.com.hk/insights/article/berlin-europe%25s-most-eligible-capital-for-investment#contactus">contact</a>&nbsp;JLL International Residential &nbsp;at +852 3759 0909 or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:irp.hk@ap.jll.com?subject=Berlin,summer%202018">irp.hk@ap.jll.com</a>
