“It is pleasing that our core rental business continues to prosper, with rental values and growth well supported by the positive trends that continue to exist within the Berlin residential property market. Higher interest rates have affected property values across Europe and, against this backdrop, our enhanced disposal programme and, where feasible, returning proceeds to shareholders, remain a key focus during the current stage of the real estate cycle.”

Chairman
