German term
valorisiert
German to English
Law/Patents
Real Estate
The sentence reads: "Die Mietrendite des Objektes beträgt rd. 6,2% p.a. und ist valorisiert." Our dictionary says "valorised", but our hunch is that it translates as "indexed" or something similar. Any ideas? Thank you very much.

increased incrementally
The German sentence seems rather loosely worded - it is the rent itself that is increased incrementally, not the yield from the rent. That is probably why the two words together (Mietrendite, valorisieren) are not found on Google.
On the other alternatives:
"indexing": the examples I have found do not relate increases to the cost of living index, they are either based on a flat rate percentage or the general concept of an increase, as in "das Pflegegeld ..., das seit 1998 nicht valorisiert worden ist"
(see www.wien.gv.at/mdb/gr/2003/gr-032-w-2003-09-24-027.htm)
"subsidised": a price increase is not a subsidy.
"valorise/valorize": the word exists in English and seems to be used in various meanings (perhaps nobody quite knows what it really means). Oxford says "give value to" or "raise prices by artificial means, usually by government action".

Comment: ""We do not claim to have increased old age pensions when they are changed only by the cost of living index--we say that they have been valorised by the change in the cost of living index--so let us not pretend that paying the same rate in sterling as last year means that the recipients will have the same purchasing power, because they will not."

Our hunch is that the clue is here.
Thanks for your research and input!"

Brigitte should get the points for this. I am just looking at the definition.
