Cushman & Wakefield, in collaboration with Hogan Lovells, has produced the report 'Regulation in the German Housing Market’, providing market and investor insights with legal expertise.
The German residential property market is popular among investors – partly due to the high proportion of renters. Numerous laws exist to protect tenants, covering rental prices, construction measures, and energy standards. Germany's federal structure adds further complexity and leads to regional variations.
Anyone active in the German housing market and looking to make investment decisions needs a clear overview of the applicable laws and the differences between the individual regions and cities.
In collaboration with Hogan Lovells, a report has been produced that combines market and investor expertise with legal knowledge, offering a comprehensive view of the subject and answering the following questions:
- What types of residential tenancy agreements exist?
- How are rents determined, and what does the rent control mean?
- In which areas do special regulations apply?
- And what do the recent changes in the Building Energy Act entail?
