Renting and buying
Tyrol, and especially the city of Innsbruck and the districts of Innsbruck City, Innsbruck Land and Kitzbühel, are among the most expensive residential areas in Austria. There are many reasons for this: the high demand due to the excellent quality of life in the region, the limited availability of settlement space due to the topography of Tyrol, which not only makes it difficult to expand the city of Innsbruck, as well as the high proportion of students (almost a quarter of Innsbruck's total population).
The size and location of the apartment, as well as its condition, are particularly important for the rent calculation. You can get the most up-to-date and realistic impression of rental prices by looking at and comparing the offers on the various real estate portals.
Legal aspects of renting/buying property
Austrian tenancy law is a rather complex legal matter, as different regulations may apply depending on the property. In many cases, for example, the landlord is free to set the price, but in others they are not. In addition, legal aspects outside of tenancy law may also need to be considered (e.g. the ban on illegal leisure residences in Tyrol). It is therefore always a good idea to seek legal advice before renting a property.
The purchase of real estate is, of course, a complex legal transaction and may be subject to restrictions regarding the nationality of the buyer, among other things. If you are planning to buy a property, we recommend that you seek comprehensive legal advice in good time.
The most comprehensive advice can be expected from law firms and notaries. In addition, there are also associations and interest groups in Tyrol that offer their members various consulting services related to real estate.
