About B-A-L Germany AG

B-A-L Germany specialises in the small-scale acquisition of residential properties in rural regions of Saxony with good transport links and local infrastructure. The strategy is to position the company as a profitable property portfolio holder with a buy-and-build strategy without pressure to sell. This involves acquiring individual residential properties at low purchase prices, including from distress sales, which enables sustainably high purchase yields of significantly more than 10% to be realised. Rents below or at the level of the rent index enable the property portfolio to be fully let. The portfolio currently consists of 92 flats with a total lettable area of more than 4,500 square metres. In the past year, this generated sales revenue of EURk 348 and earnings after taxes of EURk 29.
