BRANDAUER Rechtsanwälte

Salzburg law firm for real estate, property and corporate law

The firm team reviews apartment building matters with a focus on leases, land register, data room, contract and settlement.

Buying an Austrian apartment building requires more than a contract review. The legal picture depends on rent roll, leases, land register, building file, management documents and handover.

The review identifies what is documented, what is missing and which points should be dealt with before signing.

Tenancies

Review rent roll, lease agreements, amendments, deposits, arrears, fixed terms and proceedings.

Building

Check land register, building file, plans, maintenance status, permits, insurance and management documents.

Contract

Regulate warranty, disclosure, effective date, handover and purchase price retention.

Documents before the purchase decision

An apartment building may look orderly in a summary while the legal files still show gaps.

Before a binding step is taken, the buyer should know which tenancy, maintenance and handover risks are being assumed.

Read rent roll and leases together

The rent roll is only the starting point. It has to be compared with leases, amendments, deposits, payments and proceedings.

Older buildings often require careful review of Austrian tenancy law issues.

Effective date and handover

The effective date connects economic allocation and legal responsibility.

Deposits, service charges, arrears, keys, documents and open works should be reflected in the contract.
