Germany top investor target in 2013; London most attractive city: CBRE

Germany is the number one target for European property investors in 2013, according to CBRE’s Investor Intentions survey.

The survey found that Germany is the most attractive market for investment in Europe for more than a third of investors (35%), up from 27% in 2012.

The UK is the second most attractive market, selected by 24% of investors, while London stands out as the single most attractive city for the second consecutive year,

Central and Eastern European (CEE) markets were chosen by 14% of investors compared with 19% last year. The majority of investors choosing the CEE region considered Poland to be the most attractive market for purchases, with limited interest in markets elsewhere in the region.

Poland’s selection by 10% of respondents exceeded the votes given to France, Spain and the Nordics, which were each chosen by 5%-6% of investors. Spain’s tally of 6% was an improvement on its share last year, but Italy slipped to 2%.
