Purchase Costs
Bank Finance
Purchase costs for buying a property work out about
6.1% of the gross purchase price. The purchaser must
pay notary fees after the contract of sale has been signed
and the notary has sent off all the papers to obtain the
foreigner purchase permit.
Austrian banks will fund up to 60% of the purchase price
and can usually lend up to a period of 25 years. Variable
interest rates are currently at around 3% and one year
or five year fixed rate mortgages are also available.
Fees are calculated as follows:
• Purchase Tax ‘Stamp Duty’ – 3.5% of the gross price
• Entry to the Land Registry – 1.1% of the gross price
• Notary’s fees – 1.5% of gross price plus VAT
• Court costs, administration fees – approx. 150 euros
• No Agent’s Fee – saving you 3%. It is standard
practice in Austria for buyers to pay agents fees, but
we do not make this charge
If you take a mortgage the fees add up to roughly 4% of
the value of the loan you will be taking. These comprise
a bank set up fee of around 2%, a notary fee of 0.5%
for registering the mortgage and dealing with the bank,
and a 1.5% mortgage registration fee.
