Austrian Property 4 Sale

Austria - home of the Sound of the Music plus more ski resorts than France, Italy or America!

When you talk to people they assume Austria is expensive - it's not. In a French ski resort a beer is 6 Euros and a plate of Spag Bog is about 10 Euros. In Austria, a beer on the hill is about 3.5 Euros and a decent meal is about 8 Euros (St Anton excluded!)

Property prices are about 20% cheaper than French resorts and they don't really do shoe boxes for 4 persons. There's no litter, everyone generally is pleasant and enjoys speaking English to the tourists and the new residents. The bars are clean and very non French - so are the toilets!

The Sunday Times in February 2009 reported:
Cheaper than France and Switzerland, the Austrian Alps are also relaxing some of the restrictions on foreign buyers. The hills really are alive! The Salzburgerland, in the middle of the country, has been the biggest hit with British buyers because of its accessibility and affordability. Most of its resorts are within an hour’s drive of Salzburg airport served by flights from most of Britain and it also has Austria’s largest ski area, the Sportwelt Amadé.

Wherever you buy in Austria, the process is straightforward, with the deeds of sale signed by both parties or power of attorney at a notary’s office. Buying costs are about 6% and local mortgages are relatively easy to obtain, although they typically carry a 3% setup fee.

A holiday or retirement home - then Austria and its beautiful mountains and valleys must be looked at. Skiing, walking, mountain biking, white water, paragliding or even just sitting with a great beer it has to be seriously considered.
