Location profile: the town's rental market
Freital lies 8.1 kilometres south-west of central Dresden in the valley of the Weißeritz. Birkigt is one of the smaller districts, with 1,027 residents and 209 residential buildings.
There are 4.9 people to each residential building. Together with owner-occupancy of 35.3 percent that produces a clear picture: the stock consists predominantly of let apartment buildings.
The pre-war share amounts to 55.3 percent and vacancy to 4.5 percent, above the Freital town figure of 3.1 percent.
What I observe here: in Birkigt the income calculation decides, not the price per square metre. And because a good half of the stock is period property, within that calculation the state of renovation decides.
Market data: price ranges and structure

- Apartments: €1,900–2,600/sqm

With an income property, every percentage point of vacancy bears directly on the purchase price, multiplied by the factor.
