Ober-Haus’s turnover grew by more than 30 percent in 2021

In 2021, the Lithuanian real estate company Ober-Haus achieved a turnover of EUR 5.63 million excluding VAT, which is a 32 percent increase on 2020, when the company’s revenue was EUR 4.24 million. Last year’s turnover is the largest in the history of Ober-Haus since 1998.

“Active market undoubtedly contributed to such growth, but the dedicated work of a large and professional team of the company and the organizational culture which fosters strong human values were most important factors. This is probably why we have the lowest staff turnover in the real estate services sector, which is a great strategic advantage,” Audrius Šapoka, Managing Director of Ober-Haus, said.

In 2021, Ober-Haus provided almost 14,000 real estate services in Lithuania. Last year, the company achieved more than 800 residential and commercial real estate sales and 500 lease transactions. We performed a record number of valuations throughout this period—more than 12,400 asset and business valuation reports were prepared, providing valuation expertise and consultancy for our clients.

“Last year’s company growth was determined by the excellent results of our asset valuation activities and productivity, advising developers in the development of new housing project concepts, including, development and implementation of their realization strategies. Also last year saw a significant increase in sales of commercial real estate objects for investment, especially land plots and sites suitable for conversion,” Šapoka noted.

Ober-Haus has been operating in Lithuania since 1998 and has offices in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Palanga, Šiauliai, Panevėžys and Druskininkai. More than 140 professionals are actively creating a competitive advantage in the real estate market. The package of services provided by the company consists of the valuation of real and movable property and business, intermediation in the purchase, sale and lease of real estate, property management and market research.

Ober-Haus Celebrates 25 Years: How Has the Property Market Changed in a Quarter of a Century?

In 1998, the Lithuanian real estate market was characterised by a lack of housing, poor credit conditions and an underdeveloped commercial real estate sector. Over the last 25 years, the number of apartments for sale has increased more than 10-fold, housing market activity has almost quadrupled, lending rates have fallen from double to single digits, and modern office buildings and shopping malls are now numbering in the hundreds – that’s the picture according to the Ober-Haus Real Estate Market Review 1998–2023, conducted to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary. The Year 2000 Marked the Beginning of the Creation of the Lithuanian Real Estate Market The years 1998–2000 can be considered as the period when the real estate sector in Lithuania began to evolve. Due to the absence of credit services, the Lithuanian population was mostly only able to purchase a home using their own funds, and commercial construction with the intention to sell or lease was in its infancy. And so, 25 years ago, investors were developing single apartment blocks, business/office assets and shopping centres, where any new development for sale or rent was regarded as a significant event in the real estate market. The Russian economic crisis, which began in…

Office sublease: thousands of invisible square metres

Office sublease: thousands of invisible square metres

In the office segment, the phenomenon of sublease – the transfer of part of a company’s leased premises to a third party – became popular during the pandemic and has remained since. The market of subleased property is usually not included in the official statistics published by real estate agencies. According to OBER-HAUS, current tenants of Class A and Class B+ business centres in Vilnius alone could be offering several thousand or even tens of thousands of square metres of space for sublease. Sublease is usually simply understood as renting space not directly from the owner or manager of a business centre, but from an existing tenant established and operating in the business centre. The principle of sublease itself existed long before the pandemic, but has only become more popular in recent years as businesses switched to remote or hybrid work, consequently, the amount of space required for their operations has decreased. OBER-HAUS estimates that since the beginning of the pandemic, the average office space in Vilnius has decreased by about 30%. In other words, companies entering into new contracts today are renting office space by almost a third smaller than a few years ago. However, office lease contracts are…
