Propco investment booms in Germany, struggles elsewhere

Healthcare property investment levels have boomed in Germany and plummeted in the UK for the first nine months of 2020 compared to five-year averages, data from JLL shows. Across Europe, deal value has all-but-matched 2015-2019.

The figures for Germany, UK, Finland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Sweden, Spain, Italy and ‘other’ countries shows wildly differing figures. Compared to previous years, deal flow in healthcare property has practically doubled in 2020 in Germany and Belgium and quadrupled in Finland.

But it has halved in the UK, previously the busiest geography, as well as nascent markets Spain and Italy. The combined figure for all combined in 2020 is 6.49bn, 2.5% lower than the five-year average of €6.66bn.

The data comes from property consultancy firm JLL, whose Head of Healthcare Investment, International Capital Markets EMEA HBI has just interviewed.
