Local Market Analysis–Bucharest (Baneasa-Pipera area) (Communist era flats v new builds)

1)Pricing of existing communist era flats
one bedroom apartment (equivalent to 2 rooms apartment in Romania) in the Baneasa average €140,000 for a 58sqm 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 approximately :
1810 €/sqm + VAT (VAT = 19%)

Q: How was the average price obtained?
A: average price taken from www.anuntul.ro (main property search engine in Romania)

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

- Building 1 – starting from only 1,330 €/sq meter built +Vat - Building 3 – 15% increase from Building 2
- Building 2 – 15% increase from Building 1 - Building 4 – 15% increase from Building 3

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.


Conclusion: Our apartments are currently 17.5% cheaper than the thirty year old, dilapidated communist era properties. Because you initially invest only 10% deposit, this means you may have a 175% return on your investment right from the beginning, subject to market conditions. This will give you good start in developing your capital gain expectations.


Q/A SECTION:
Q1) Can we offer a rental service?
A: We will once a development is completed

Q2) What is the rental yield in Baneasa area, Bucharest?
A: A Communist one bedroom apartment is currently renting for €900-€1200 per month. “Belvedere-Baneasa” would probably achieve €1700-€2500 per month because is bigger, better located and with excellent facilities. In other words, assuming that you had your property completed at this moment in time, you could achieve a rental yield of 16.4% which would easily have covered the cost of your mortgage.
