Buying real estate is a legally complex process and should never be undertaken without legal counsel. We will draft your purchase agreement to meet your specific needs and ensure legal compliance, review all relevant documents (land registry, zoning, encumbrances), and handle the entire escrow process—including registration in the land registry and closing.

Whether it's an apartment, house, building plot, or investment property – we represent your interests and protect you from unexpected risks, formal errors, or unfavorable contract clauses. We also advise you on purchase agreements in the context of divorces or inheritances.

Transferring a property by gift – for example, to children, spouses, or other relatives – can be tax- and legally sensible, but it entails complex regulations. We create customized gift agreements for you that are legally secure and tailored to your family and financial situation.

In addition, we advise you on potential claims to a statutory share, rights of recovery (e.g., in the event of a need for long-term care or a dispute), and handle the entire land registry entry.

Not every real estate purchase by a foreign national requires approval. If a statutory exception applies, the Real Estate Transactions Authority issues a negative confirmation —which confirms that no approval is required. We can assist you in providing the necessary evidence to demonstrate that an exception applies.

 

We take care of the application process – quickly, legally and reliably.

The acquisition of land or real estate by foreign nationals is subject to special legal regulations in Austria.
