The Aviva report claims that Germany has moved to become the least risky market in Europe for real estate investors from a macroeconomic perspective. The country has been aided by a fall in measures of financial risk.
Finland remains the safest country for investment according to the report's property risk index, while at a sector level Swedish retail appears most appealing. The Finnish and UK office markets are also highlighted as good prospects while risk-return prospects are least appealing in the Spanish and Italian retail sectors.
