Real Estate in Austria

When a person selects Austria among European countries for purchasing a house or apartment, this means only one thing: this person loves comfort and prestige. Of course, real estate in Austria is not so cheap. But it is worth that. Austria means mountains, breathtaking landscapes, great ecology, traditions in architecture and culture, high quality of life …

Buying real estate in Austria is bound with certain local regulations of this country. All transactions with foreign citizens are to be approved by the authorities. One cannot bypass this procedure. Moreover, since the very start the transaction is performed through a notary public. His services are paid at rates, which are rigidly set, and are calculated at rather complicated schemas, but usually they do not exceed 5% of the transaction. The very same notary public is the guarantor of safe custody of the monies for the real estate object. He receives the total amount and transfers it to a trust fund, where it resides until the sale and purchase process is completed. This guarantees both to the seller, and to the purchaser.

Investing into Austrian real estate is rather profitable. It is not necessary to purchase a house or apartments in Vienna to lease them to numerous visitors (Vienna is visited at any time of year, and housing is rather sought for here: tourists, businessmen, students). Many people buy houses near ski resorts and thermal sources. This also gives the possibility not only to lease your real estate in Austria, but also have a great rest there at any time.
