High-street retail deals will dominate the German investment market this year as liquidity shortages in the country impact on the average transaction size, says Gerhard Kemper, international director at Kemper's Jones Lang LaSalle Retail in an interview with PropertyEU. 'The investment market is very much dependent on the financing climate which has changed significantly over the past 12 months. It has become difficult to get financing for large deals. As a result, high street properties are turning out to be the most transacted retail type in the German market this year due to their smaller size, which does not create problems with financing,' Kemper points out.
