MemberHello,
I consider to buy a small appartment in Vienna, and need as a first step to understand taxes that have to be paid. All sales’ announcements seem to contain 20% of MVS. Should I understand that to the prices that real estate agencies indicate (and among them 3% for service) have to be added also 20% of the sum?thanks for your answers, and hope this will be useful to someone else too.

MemberThe estate agent’s commission is a maximum of 3% (+20%VAT).
(The 4% rule only applies to properties worth less than 48,000 – unlikely you’ll find anything in that category.)You can negotiate the commission. 92% don’t – they pay the full price.
If the flat will sell quickly the agent might insist on 3% – your choice is to pay it or not get the flat. If it’s been on the market for a while, it’s easier.
If the flat is listed by more than one agent – contact a couple and try to haggle them down and take the cheapest.
If you visit a flat, don’t sign the ‘Besichtigungschein’ (“sign this to show that you’ve seen the property”) In the smakll print it will say that you agree to pay 3% commission if you buy it. If you sign it, you’ve little room for negotiation later on.
If you do sign it, cross out the % of commission and say that’s negotiable.
Or, look for properties for sale direct by private sellers.
But don’t pay a subscription fee to get details of prices and contact details of private sellers. There are two websites which operate in this way. You pay a fee for details without knowing if the property is really available.
You can normally find these properties listed elsewhere for free.Good luck
😉
