Hi Andrew, I am currently considering @ my first overseas investment in Berlin - due to its relative stability, large economy, and of course low prices.

Can you give me any info on the rental market and elaborate of caps. I've heard a range of confilicting information about rents and would like some clarification.

Can you tell me:
1) What capping there is and how it works? Is capping planned to be stopped?
2) Can the rents be increased during the tenancy period?
3) With new tenants does capping come into play - and even if it does can I expect to get higher rent then from someone who has been in situ for 3 or so years?


Thanks, any advice much appreciated.
