Retire To Austria

Quality of life apart, one of the key requirements for most people who are considering retiring to another country is that their property purchase represents a sound investment. By considering properties in Carinthia, you will find that your initial purchase price is potentially significantly lower than comparable property in the more traditional and popular retirement destination, like France and Spain.

The Austrian property market is also very stable, with only modest annual growth for many years. Whilst this means that you are unlikely to be able to rely on huge percentage growths rates in the future – it also means that the risk of a property market retraction is also much reduced!

Ryanair offer direct flights into Klagenfurt, from Stanstead – currently twice weekly. There are also many flights from regional airports in Salzburg – which gives very easy access into Carinthia, by a dual carriageway road or by train.

It is important to, again, emphasis that we are not Estate Agents. However, we do list - by way of examples – a range of properties from some of the Agents that we work with. This is in response to the numerous requests that we have received to show a representative range of available properties.
