2 Resort Information Hallstatt The historic village of Hallstatt is located in the Upper Austria province and lies on the banks of Lake Hallstatt, just 20 minutes from Upper Austria s largest ski region. Hallstatt has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997 due to its beauty and cultural heritage. The village is also known to be one of the oldest human settlements in the world dating back to 5500 BC. Hallstatt is made up of little wooden homes, some of which stand on stilts in the river. It was virtually inaccessible until the late 19th century when a road was blasted through the mountains. World s Oldest Salt Mines The village is home to many quaint shops and restaurants and there is also a pretty ferry across the lake which runs 365 days a year. Additionally, Hallstatt is home to one of the world s oldest known salt mines which is now open to the public and is a great place to explore. You can take the funicular from the centre of town to the top of the mountain and then travel deep into the mountains with wooden slides providing access to 12 levels of tunnels and an incredible salt-lake cavern - making it great fun for all the family!

12 Chalet Bettina & Claudia m 2, Four or Five Bedrooms It is possible to have this chalet configured either as Chalet Bettina with four bedrooms and a large dressing room or as Chalet Claudia with five bedrooms.

13 Flexible Rental As with most holiday homes in Austria, these chalets are required to be rented out for part of the year. The benefit of this is that your property is earning an income for you when you are not using it and you can also reclaim some or all of the VAT on the purchase price - a saving of up to 20%. The developer will pay the VAT for you and then reclaim it back so you only pay the net price. There is a choice to either claim back all or part of the VAT. If you rent your property commercially and do not use your property at all for yourself then the developer can claim the full 20% VAT. If you declare in advance that you will be using the property partly for your private use then the amount of VAT you may reclaim depends on the ratio of usage - personal to rental. These chalets will offer fantastic summer and winter rentals which will be professionally managed by the developer together with an Austrian tour operator. The company will deal with marketing and managing your property and can even provide a tax advisor to complete your tax returns so there is absolutely no work for you to do. The rental arrangements are very flexible and owners can book up to 10 weeks a year for private usage which is nearly three months! Bookings should be made six months in advance for owners use but as the tour operator uses an online booking system it is also possible to take extra weeks at short notice (up to seven days) if your chalet is free as a last-minute booking. All the income from the rentals will be put into a rental pool and divided between all the chalets. Any weeks an owner spends time in their chalet they will simply opt out of the rental pool for that week. The only costs will be for the cleaning and laundering of the property, tourist tax and VAT. The tour operator will pay the rental income to owners on a monthly basis. As a chalet owner you also own a share of the resort and annual meetings are held with all the chalet owners to discuss budgets, rental, prices, marketing, maintenance fund etc. For further information and estimated income and outgoings please contact us.

14 Purchase Costs Purchase costs for buying a property work out about 6.6% of the gross purchase price. The purchaser will be required to pay the notary fees after the contract of sale has been signed and the notary has sent off all the papers to obtain the foreigner purchase permit. Fees are calculated as follows: Purchase Tax Stamp Duty 3.5% of the gross price Entry to the Land Registry 1.1% of the gross price Notary s fees 2% of gross purchase price plus VAT Court costs, administration fees approx. 150 euros No Agent s Fee Bank Finance The developer has arranged for the local bank to lend up to 70% of the purchase price for buyers over a period of 20 years. Variable interest rates are currently at around 3% and it is possible to take one year or five year fixed rate mortgages. If you take a mortgage the fees add up to roughly 4% of the value of the loan you will be taking. These comprise a bank set up fee of around 2%, an appraisal fee of 0.5% and a 1.5% mortgage registration fee. Click HERE to view our buyers guide

15 Winter Activities Winter & Skiing Family FRIENDLY In winter the Krippenstein Dachstein Obertraun ski region offers a great choice of skiing for all abilities and just a 20 minutes drive away are the Dachstein West mountains which form Upper Austria s largest ski area. Located in the Salzburg province at 1,400m, this is the perfect place to enjoy skiing in the Alps: quiet, tranquil and perfectly set apart from the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist traps. This region encompasses the villages of Gosau, Russbach, Zwieselalm and Annaberg and offers 152km of slopes serviced by 52 lifts and cable cars ensuring good skiing for everyone. The family-friendly ski resort of Krippenstein is also right on the doorstep. The Krippenstein resort not only has a good selection of groomed pistes but is also excellent for off-piste skiing with over 30km of safe terrain.

16 152km of skiing In winter this region provides some of the loveliest skiing areas in Austria, with pistes ranging from very easy family runs to more difficult black runs. However, the beauty of this area is the great number of intermediate slopes to enjoy and in deep snow conditions the sides of the piste make for powder heaven. Additionally, there is a free ski bus which can take you from Obertaun to both ski regions and in addition to all of this, there is also plenty of cross country skiing and other activities on offer, such as dog-drawn sleigh rides and snow shoe hiking.

17 Summer Activities Summer In summer this region becomes paradise for nature lovers as there are numerous activities: such as hiking, boating on the lake, scuba diving in the crystal clear waters (which are clean enough to drink), and taking one of the many walking routes within the villages. The region is also home to many adventure playgrounds; beach volleyball, mini golf, Alpine slides, horse riding, rafting, canyoning, mountain biking, hiking (with multiple day tours possible), climbing, kayaking, diving and fishing. Just over an hour away is the beautiful city of Salzburg which is steeped in history and culture. It also boasts wonderful shopping and world class restaurants.
