The Austrian resorts are real villages, never deserted, and the mood is friendly and unfussy. The après-ski is lively and the infrastructure is world class.

Buying in Austria: what you need to know

In Austria the property's designation (Widmung) matters more than anything else. It decides whether you may use your chalet or apartment as a holiday home (Zweitwohnsitz), must live in it (Hauptwohnsitz), or must rent it out (touristische Vermietung). It’s important to check this early on with your agent. The property purchase itself is structured: a binding offer, a contract drawn up by a notary or lawyer, and all funds held in escrow.
