NIEDEROBLARN APARTMÁNY
Austria, thanks to the Alps, offers intriguing real estate investment opportunities for those who love hiking, skiing, and exploring historical sites.
We currently have an investment opportunity located right at the foot of the Alpine peaks. Spacious apartments in a family house with private land and seclusion. Just a 30-minute drive from the ski resort in Schladming.
The Austrian real estate market is considered stable, although higher purchase prices should be expected.
A 5-year investment cycle offers optimal returns for most projects.
For investment properties, it is recommended to hold the property for 3-5 years, during which time you can achieve optimal capital return and appreciation. Due to external factors (market conditions) as well as internal factors (necessary renovations or refurbishments), the performance of the investment property may stagnate or decline after this period.

The real estate market in Austria has its own characteristics and benefits significantly from the high standard of living. Accommodations, especially in tourist areas and larger cities, represent the most suitable target for investment properties.
NIEDEROBLARN APARTMÁNY
Austria ranks among the most stable economies in the European Union. A robust banking sector, low inflation, and predictable economic policies, create an ideal environment for long-term investment in real estate.
Austrian laws are transparent and protect the rights of investors. A secure land registry system and clear rental rules minimize legal risks, enhancing the confidence of foreign investors.
In cities like Vienna and Salzburg, or in mountain resorts, rental prices are stable and attractive. With the right location and type of property, it is possible to achieve a solid net yield and long-term return on investment.
The Alps and historic cities attract millions of tourists each year. Investing in apartments or chalets for short-term rentals can generate significant income during the tourist season, especially in the winter and summer months.
The purchase price of the property does not include tax. The tax system in Austria is strictly defined. When buying a property, one must consider the Grunderwerbsteuer - Property Acquisition Tax - which amounts to 3.5% of the property's purchase price. Additionally, a Land Registration Fee (Grundbucheintragungsgebühr) is payable, which typically ranges around 1.1% of the property's purchase price. Moreover, notaries charge fees for drafting the purchase contract and other administrative-legal aspects, which usually vary between 1% to 3% of the property's purchase price.
The sale of a property is subject to a 30% capital gains tax (taking into account the increase in value during property ownership).
Vilimek & Vagner Asset Management generally considers investments in Austria to be more conservative. If an investor seeks to maximize profit, we recommend choosing a property that is still in the project phase. Once completed, such a property naturally appreciates in value.
Actively managing the investment through rental will surely be a good option generating active income for the investor. The clientele varies throughout the year, so we recommend considering whether the property is more suitable for short-term or long-term rental.
The recommended investment horizon for this project is at least 5-6 years.
A more conservative strategy, typical for European countries due to higher acquisition costs, will yield a moderately high capital appreciation. We also recommend this approach to less experienced investors who prefer to keep their investments close to the borders.
Project financing is typically divided into tranches:
1) refundable deposit prior to signing the purchase agreement
2) 20-50% during construction
3) 50-80% upon property handover.
Property ownership is personal and can be held by either a natural or legal person authorized to possess real estate. In the case of an apartment building, ownership of common areas is and typically managed by a local administrator.
The project documentation, including visual materials, texts, and expert evaluations, must not be disseminated without the consent of the owners. All calculations and analyses were performed based on available data and information at the time of the project's publication on this site. The investment-economic performance represents an estimated prediction based on the available data at the time of the projection and does not guarantee that the figures will be accurate at the time of opening.
