For about a decade now, the European real estate market has been characterised
by excess demand, rising prices and low interest rates. Will there be major
fluctuations in interest rates in the future? Current predictions give little cause
for hope. The vast amounts of money circulating on today’s market are pouring
into a limited number of types of investments, which are becoming increasingly
unattractive due to the high demand.
For landowners the question is: what should we do?
By retaining the property, it may be possible to enjoy increases in value and
eventually capitalise on this through a sale. But, in the meantime, the property
generates no revenue and may even incur costs.
Selling at current market prices is an appealing option, but you may be liable
to high taxes. It can also be problematic from a tax standpoint if the land belonged
to a firm’s assets (as in the agricultural business, for example) or if the reserves
of building land are no longer needed by the company itself and are to be used
privately. But the main question remains: which investment is the wisest choice?
The options are notoriously unappealing – and your savings are only protected from
bankruptcy within the scope of your bank’s deposit protection schemes.
Leaseholds are an intelligent way of realising excellent returns. Your unique
plot of land, which is found nowhere else in the world, remains in your possession,
but is ‘rented out’, so to speak, for an extensive period of, say, 90 years. Revenue
flows immediately: when the leasehold agreement is signed, the first payment is
already due from the tenant – and these payments will continue to be made for
decades to come. To you. To your family. To your children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren
and heirs. You can count on it. The rent can also be increased over
time, based on a variety of mathematical models. This allows us to give you more of
what even the most treasured timepiece cannot produce: time for yourself, for your
family and for the things you want to do in life with a minimum of effort on your part.
