Germany has edged out the UK as the number one target for European property investors, according to research by CBRE. The country topped the list as most
attractive market for buyers, with 35% of the votes in CBRE’s annual Real Estate Investor Intentions Survey. However, London retained its crown as
the most attractive City in which to invest. Its 31% vote share was almost double that
of number two city Munich (16%) and almost equalling the 34% achieved by the top four German cities combined. Central and Eastern Europe saw a marked
dip in popularity, down 5% on last year to 14%. Logistics was the notable riser for investor
intentions regarding asset class, coming second only to offices (29%) after climbing 6% to achieve one-fifth of the total vote.
