Austria Lower Austrian Tender

LH Mikl-Leitner Focus on urban densification and energy-efficient construction of residential buildingsIn the course of the Lower Austria building rights campaign suitable land is being purchased by the state in order to make these young couples and young families as well as single parents available as living space. The state currently owns over 2100 such building rights plots. As of January 1 2021 the campaign will be adjusted In future we want to focus even more on strengthening the town centers and on energy-efficient construction when building our own homes. On the one hand this should be done by redensifying vacant building plots in the direction of local centers. On the other hand building rights applicants who have built their own home in an energy-efficient manner and using the Lower Austrian housing subsidy are financially relieved. These measures also represent the states contribution to climate protection In principle the state only purchases properties whose purchase price does not significantly exceed the market value customary in the area or the total purchase price of 60000 euros previously 55000 euros and the area of 700 square meters. With the change to the guidelines that have now been adopted a new addition is that a higher purchase price of up to 80000 euros can be recognized if the property is designated as building land core area or is in a designated central zone. In a subsequent building lease agreement between the state and the applicant building authorized person the amount of the annual building interest to be paid is regulated by one percent of the acquisition costs. In addition the right to purchase the property is stipulated. In the event that the property is acquired by the owner of the building right separate interest of one two or three percent of the acquisition costs will be incurred depending on the time of acquisition. If the Lower Austrian housing subsidy is used when building the own home and the housing loan is also completely added and settled this interest rate for the purchase of the property is now halved.Currently there are grounds for building rights in 235 Lower Austrian municipalities. Since the start of the campaign in 1982 under the name Cheap building sites for young families in Lower Austria 2675 young families young married couples or single parents have already benefited from this campaign. 560 building rights applicants bought the property at a later date. These figures show that the building rights campaign is an effective start-up aid for young house builders with the support of the state of Lower Austria informs the governor.
