3.1Rental income
Rental income increased by 3% (TCHF 129) compared to the prior year period. This increase is mainly due to index increases, which are reflected in the increased potential rental income, as well as to lettings, which led to a reduction in vacancy loss.
3.2Real estate expenses
Real estate expenses directly attributable to investment properties represent 2.2% (previous year 3.8%) of rental income.
The reduction in real estate expenses by TCHF 67 is mainly due to one-off effects in the previous year in the area of heating and ancillary costs as well as other real estate expenses.
