Yes, foreign investors can buy property in Austria – but legal and administrative requirements must be carefully observed, and they can vary depending on the region. We provide comprehensive guidance to ensure full compliance with Austrian regulations and support you through every step of the acquisition process.
In recent years, there has been increased media discussion around freizeitwohnsitze (second homes), particularly in popular tourist regions like the Alps. Some provinces have introduced stricter regulations to limit the number of second homes, aiming to preserve affordable housing for local residents. These restrictions can vary by region and may affect both the eligibility and the intended use of certain properties. We ensure that you are fully informed about these regulations and help you navigate them.
