When purchasing a property  in Austria various incidental costs are applied which are calculated on the basis of the purchase price:

• • 3,5% Property transfer tax
  • 1,1% Title registration fee
  • 1,9% Contract fees

The purchaser is responsible for meeting all incidental purchasing costs.

(status: July 2016)

Operating costs are calculated according to the property’s pro rata share, based on the title registration entry. Energy consumption is calculated using calibrated meters and billed by the provider directly.

Wien Energie: district heating, district cooling
