<p>The rental prices for new buildings in German metropolises have significantly increased in 2023. According to a recent analysis by JLL Residential Research, the figures are as follows:</p><p>In Hamburg, the average rent for new buildings in the fourth quarter of 2023 is &euro;18 per square meter, representing an 8% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. In Frankfurt, the average rent in the fourth quarter of 2023 has even risen to &euro;20.10 per square meter, which is 10% higher than the same period in 2022. The most significant development can be observed in the capital city of Berlin, where there has been a 24% increase to &euro;20.50, surpassing the &euro;20 mark.</p><p>The main reason for these sharp increases is the scarcity of housing in these cities. The demand for rental apartments far exceeds the available supply. Due to the current market situation, this situation is expected to further worsen as many planned new construction projects may either not be realized or delayed significantly.</p><p>If you are interested in investing in your future, we are here to provide you with advisory services.

Rapidly increasing rental prices for new buildings in the metropolises of Germany

<p>Many are afraid that it might be unsafe - however, this prejudice is not true, as crime statistics prove. The fear that it might be too dark downstairs is also mostly unfounded in modern apartments. Floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious floor plans make it pleasantly bright. Another fear regarding ground-floor apartments is that energy costs are higher, but this is not the case with adequate insulation. Rather, there are some advantages to living downstairs:</p><div>1) Shorter distances and less lugging: Living downstairs eliminates the hassle of climbing stairs, allowing groceries and beverage boxes to be carried to their places without much effort. The first floor apartment also has advantages for families with children: Baby carriages and co. do not have to be laboriously maneuvered into an elevator.</div><div><br /></div><div><p>2) Direct garden access: A garden in the city is a real rarity and therefore a real plus point for first floor apartments, which usually have a large terrace and garden. Nothing stands in the way of the next barbecue with friends, a relaxed after-work drink or the children's birthday party with a paddling pool.</p><div>3.) Noise is not an issue: Romping children are not a problem in first floor apartments. After all, there is no apartment below that could be disturbed by footsteps.</div><div><br /></div><div>4) Pleasantly cool: In summer, ground-floor apartments are significantly cooler - heat is known to rise upwards. Especially in times of increasingly hot summers a real advantage.</div><div><br /></div><div>5) Suitable for old age: Ground-floor apartments are usually barrier-free, so that they can still be used well in old age.</div><p></p><p>Whether it's a single-floor apartment, an attic or a ground-floor apartment - each type of apartment ultimately has its advantages and disadvantages. It's best to decide according to your needs - we'll be happy to help you find a home that suits you. <a href="https://navigator.beyonity.de/?id=A4EC468A">Here</a> you will find, for example, beautiful first floor apartments.</p></div>

Living on the first floor - second-class residential location or real advantage?

Ground-floor apartments do not necessarily have a good image. Is that right?

<div>In a few sentences: What makes a successful interior design for you?</div><div><br /></div><div>For me, a successful interior is characterized by careful coordination of colors, textures, furniture and accessories. To create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere that meets the needs and personality of the occupant. A balance between functionality and aesthetics is strived for. Contemporary yet timeless design ensures that the space will continue to provide a comfortable and inspiring environment for years to come.</div><div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>How do I find the right design for me?</div><div><br /></div><div>To find the right design for a client, it is important to understand their personal tastes and requirements. To do this, we typically ask the following questions:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. how do you use the space?</div><div><br /></div><div>2. what are your priorities in terms of functionality and aesthetics?</div><div><br /></div><div>3. what colors, textures and materials do you prefer?</div><div><br /></div><div>4. do you already have furniture or accessories that you would like to incorporate into the design?</div><div><br /></div><div>would like to include in the design?</div><div><br /></div><div>5. what style do you prefer?</div><div><br /></div><div>6. Are there any special needs, such as space requirements for a collection or special</div><div><br /></div><div>requirements for lighting or room acoustics?</div><div><br /></div><div>By asking these questions, we can get a comprehensive sense of the client's ideas and requirements, allowing us to develop a custom design concept tailored to their needs and preferences. In addition, if needed, we can also provide inspiration and suggestions to further refine the design concept and make the space look its best.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Why consult with an interior designer?</div><div><br /></div><div><p>An interior designer can be a valuable creative resource for anyone looking to design a space, whether it is a residential or commercial space. An interior designer brings experience, expertise and creative talent to make spaces functional and aesthetically pleasing. He or she can also help clients save time and money by using resources more effectively and efficiently while achieving the best possible results. Consulting with an interior designer is especially useful for those who have little experience with designing spaces or are unsure how to implement their vision. An interior designer can also be a valuable support for people who have little time or are unable to carry out the design process themselves. In addition, businesses and commercial establishments can also benefit from an interior designer to make their spaces functional and attractive to customers and employees, thus improving the bottom line. Overall, consulting with an interior designer is recommended for anyone who has a desire to design their space in a professional and aesthetically pleasing manner to achieve the best results.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div>What do I have to pay attention to when furnishing a new-build apartment compared to an old-build apartment?</div><div><br /></div><div>When furnishing a new-build apartment compared to an old-build apartment, there are some differences to consider:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. architectural features: New construction apartments often have modern and minimalist architecture, while old building apartments often have high ceilings, stucco ornamentation and other architectural details. Therefore, when furnishing a new construction apartment, it may be advisable to select furniture and decorations that are in keeping with the modern style.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. room layout and size: in a new-build apartment, the room layout is often more efficiently designed and the room sizes may be smaller than in an old-build apartment. Therefore, it is important to adjust the furniture and decorations accordingly and pay attention to their functionality and size.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. equipment: in a new-build apartment, modern amenities such as air conditioning, automatic blinds or underfloor heating are usually available and should be taken into account when furnishing. In an old building apartment, on the other hand, more individualization is often possible in the design of the interior.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. lighting: Since new-build apartments often have more modern and light-flooded rooms, attention should be paid to appropriate lighting to improve the ambience. In old apartments, on the other hand, it may be necessary to set up additional light sources to brighten up darker rooms.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. materials: when furnishing a new-build apartment, modern materials such as glass, metal or plastics can be used, while in an old-build apartment, more traditional materials such as wood, natural stone or ceramics can be more effective. Overall, when decorating a new-build apartment, the modern and minimalist elements of the building should be taken into account, while in an old-build apartment there is often more scope for creative design and more traditional elements can be shown to advantage.</div><p></p><div>What is a timeless style?</div><div><br /></div><div>A timeless style in interior design is a design concept that is still relevant and appealing years or decades later. Unlike current trends, which often come and go quickly, a timeless style is long-lasting. A timeless style is often minimalist and elegant without incorporating too many fashionable elements. An example of a timeless style in interior design is the Scandinavian style, which is minimalist and functional and uses clean lines, bright colors and natural materials. Other timeless styles include the classical style, which is based on elegance and symmetry and often draws on historical style periods such as the Baroque or Rococo, and the modern style, which emphasizes a clean design language and a reduction to the essentials. A timeless style is particularly recommended if you are aiming for a long-term design concept that will remain current and appealing in the future. However, you should make sure that the timeless style also fits your individual preferences and needs and doesn't come across as too sterile or impersonal.</div><div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>What do you draw inspiration from?</div><div><br /></div><div>I still draw a lot of my daily inspiration from print media and books. Here you can always find design elements that were trendy years ago and are now making a comeback. Furthermore, I also use Pinterest and Co. for inspiration, here you can always find the latest trends. I also like to be inspired creatively when I'm traveling or at trade fairs. The London School of Design is one of the best universities in Europe for me. In general, I always find it exciting how different "interior language" can be abroad. Every city has a different effect on the interior design due to its inhabitants.</div><div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>What you should look for in a new apartment - from the search to the furnishing, you can read <a href="https://www.westwing.de/inspiration/interior-design-beratung/tipps-rund-ums-wohnen/eine-neue-wohnung-von-der-suche-bis-zur-einrichtung/">here</a>.</div><p></p></div>
