Practical Example
Local Market Analysis – Belvedere area Bucharest
(Communist era flats v new builds)

1) Pricing of existing communist era flats
A two bedroom apartment (equivalent to 3 rooms in Romania) average price in the Baneasa area is €285,000 for a 115 sq metre net area (including balcony). So they can be compared with the new build, the above price needs to be transformed into €/ sq metre built +Vat. After the calculations, the equivalent of the above price is aprox.:
€1860sq metre + VAT.

Q: How was the average price obtained?
A: average price taken from the main property search engine in Romania

2) Pricing opportunities “ Belvedere Baneasa” (VAT = 19%)

Development = 678 flats

Phase 1 I building at € 1,595 per sq metre built +Vat
II building at € 1,755 per sq metre built +Vat
Phase 2 III building at € 1,930 per sq metre built +Vat
IV building at € 2,150 per sq metre built +Vat

Q: Why is the property cheaper at the start of the development and then it goes up in value?
A: As a developer, in order to get a better deal with the financing bank, we need to have a certain level of interest in the early stages of the project. Because of that, the first few apartments we sell almost at cost. To ensure our profitability, we increase the price towards the completion of the development, when it can easily be absorbed by the local demand.

Conclusions
Our apartments are currently 18.6% cheaper than the thirty year old, dilapidated communist era properties. Because you initially invest only 10% deposit, this means you may have a186% return on your investment right from the beginning, subject to market conditions. This will give you good start in developing your capital gain expectations.

Note: Even if you achieve this good start, it is very difficult to sell these contracts straight away because you compete with us, the developer, in selling the apartments. However, towards the end of the development, when we finish selling, we would be interested in finding clients for your properties and in this way help your ‘exit’ strategy.

Q&A Section:

1) Can we offer a rental service?
A: We will once a development is completed – this is not the case at present!

2) What is the rental yield in Baneasa area, Bucharest?
A: A Communist two bedroom apartment is currently renting for €1200-€1800 per month. “Belvedere Baneasa” would probably, pessimistically, achieve €1800-€2200 per month. In other words, assuming that you had your property completed at this moment in time, you could achieve a rental yield of 6.5% which would have covered the cost of your mortgage.

3) Guaranteed rental income?
A: Guaranteed rental normally applies to holiday resorts where income from travel companies can be taken into account. This is not the case in an urban situation in Romania.

4) Where can you meet us?
A: You can either meet our knowledgeable team based in our London office or meet our colleagues in Romania. We organise supported visits to Romania for prospective clients. Contact us for more details.
