Annual Report 2020

EPRA Vacancy Rate

The calculation of the EPRA Vacancy rate is based on the ratio of the estimated market rent for the vacant residential properties to the estimated market rent of the residential property portfolio, i.e., the vacancy rate shown in the management report is valued based on the market rent for the residential properties.

As of the end of 2020, our apartments were again virtually fully occupied. At 2.3%, the EPRA Vacancy rate was slightly lower than the value for the previous year (2.4%).
