Observing the history, rights and charges over the property – Law Experts Attorneys Austria
The creation of a register of properties started in Austria during 18th century at the time of Maria Theresia. But even before that date there were various books and deeds that described land and property and documented their features. The fact that this legal history of properties goes back centuries in Central Europe alone means that a great deal remains buried in the history of many a property.
Investigating properties thoroughly and buying with peace of mind – Law Experts Attorneys Austria
An investigation of a property or building that has to be taken seriously therefore requires appropriate care to avoid serious difficulties that often only come to light years later.
Initial investigations of a property in most cases involve searching the land register together with any associated documents. The main book of the land register is divided into the land register folio (Folio A), title deeds (Folio B) and list of charges (Folio C). A number of older agreements often have to be examined to be able to assess a property’s actual legal title.
During the investigation the property’s past and rights that are entered in the land register and also any rights that may exist but do not appear in the register must be thoroughly researched. Rights of way or other utility easements, for example, which can only be identified during the course of a professional investigation of the property or even a visit to the property, are not uncommon. A serious investigation of a property or building therefore requires the requisite care in order to avoid any serious difficulties that often only come to light years later.
Second homes, Secondary residences, land use designation in Seefeld, Kitzbühel, Lech, St. Anton am Arlberg, Sölden, Galtür or Serfaus – We can offer advice throughout Austria
In areas of the Alps used intensively for tourism, for example, Seefeld, Kitzbühel, Lech, St. Anton am Arlberg, Sölden, Galtür or Serfaus the question about the designated use of a property is often of key importance. The possibility of using a property as a second home often opens up unexpected possibilities for use and enhancing value.
Second homes, according to the statutory definition, refers to: ‘buildings, dwellings or other parts of buildings, which do not serve a residential need on which life revolves all year round, but are a place to stay during holidays, at weekends or for other temporary recreational use.’
In the very touristy areas mentioned above there are therefore regularly intensive discussions and also legal disputes about the extent to which further approvals should be granted for second homes, and whether existing second homes are actually being used legally.
