What can you get for your money in… Berlin
BUDGET €94,000
Schöneberg is where avant-garde artists hung out in the ’70s. Today it’s still a colourful, hip quarter offering good bargains. We found a newly renovated 49.63m² one-bedroom flat with wooden floors and a balcony for €94,000
STANDARD €174,500
Prenzlauer Berg (pictured) is the new ‘in place’ in central-east Berlin and has yet to peak. Old factories are made into loft apartments and appeal to those after something a bit different. Currently on the market for €174,500: a 76m² one-bedroom loft conversion with a big balcony in an old leather factory. The flats are wholly new, with very high ceilings. Interiors are raw but have all the mod cons.
LUXURY €382,500
Friedrichshain is a fashionable quarter of central-east Berlin. It’s a leafy area, but close to the city centre with many transport links. For €382,500 you can get a newly renovated, 128m² two-bedroom penthouse flat in a former prison right by the river with sizeable balconies on the east and west side.
All three properties are from Bolig Berlin

Make sure your Spanish dream home doesn’t turn into nightmare
The European Estate Agents Union is warning homebuyers in Spain to double check that their property has planning permission before they buy a new home. The warning comes after an investigation showed that many people looking to buy abroad aren’t aware of the issues that could turn their dream property into a nightmare
A number of homebuyers who have bought properties in areas like Almería and Almanzora learned the hard way, when they found out that their homes didn’t have planning permission. And because of the complex Spanish property laws, some homes have had to be knocked down. To avoid this, it’s important to use a good independent lawyer when buying property in Spain.
