In a property purchase, details often decide whether you safely become the owner. Was the contract reviewed independently? Is the land register up to date? Does payment run through an escrow agent? This check asks the key points.

Answer each question honestly according to your current situation. At the end you receive an assessment of your risk and concrete next steps. The result is non-binding guidance and does not replace a lawyer’s review.

Self-assessment

How secure is your purchase contract?

Answer each question according to your current situation. Choose exactly one answer per question.

01 Was the purchase contract reviewed before you sign?
02 Have you reviewed a current land register extract?
03 Are encumbrances such as liens or easements clarified and the release of encumbrances arranged?
04 Is the purchase price handled through an escrow agent?
05 Is a priority ranking note for the intended sale registered in the land register?
06 Are the handover date, passing of risk and transfer of charges set out in the contract?
07 Is the warranty arranged in a balanced way in the contract?

Please answer every question.

We will get back to you.

The risk check is an initial self-assessment of the Austrian legal position (as of June 2026) and does not replace a review of the concrete contract and land register status in the individual case.
