Lake Balaton - real estate on the world-famous lake
Have you ever thought about moving to a vacation paradise - and immediately dismissed the idea as overpriced and impossible? Then we would like to convince you of the opposite today: even though Lake Balaton is the largest lake and one of the most popular attractions in the whole of Central Europe, it is mostly uncomplicated to buy a property here.
And if you are looking for the icing on the cake: Many Hungarians living here even speak German! So there's no need to worry about not finding your way around - you'll feel more at home than anywhere else.
Why buy a house on Lake Balaton?
In addition to its world-famous beauty, this vacation paradise offers a number of other advantages. For example, the region around Lake Balaton is known for its excellent wine production. The proximity to larger cities such as Vienna or Budapest also make the area a great place to live. A house with a panoramic view of the lake provides peace and quiet as well as pure relaxation for the soul.
What's more, a house on Lake Balaton is an excellent opportunity to invest in a property with great growth potential. With rising real estate prices on Lake Balaton, success can still be expected here in the medium term.
FAQs: Q&A about real estate on Lake Balaton
We would be surprised if you didn't have many questions about emigrating to Hungary. Here you will find some interesting questions with equally interesting answers, and you can find even more information on our blog. Your question has not been answered? Then ask us personally.
Real estate prices have also risen sharply in Hungary in recent years. As a general rule, the closer to Lake Balaton, the more expensive. A direct view of Lake Balaton also influences the value of the property. In addition, the financial outlay must be set in relation to the low cost of living and ancillary costs. Furthermore, Hungarian real estate prices can still be described as moderate in comparison - in the medium term, investment security can therefore be assumed at Lake Balaton.
Buying a property makes more sense than renting, especially if you want to spend a lot of time in Hungary in the long term. Although rental prices in Hungary are lower than in the DACH region, almost 90% of properties in Hungary are designed for owner-occupation. There is therefore little choice for rental properties, especially in rural areas. The situation is different when buying. And even if you don't want to live in your property in Hungary permanently, you can still rent it out as a vacation home and use it as an additional investment.
Theoretically, it is possible to finance a property in Hungary, but in most cases it is practically impossible. Swiss and German banks almost never finance foreign real estate with mortgages, unless it is a large investment in the multi-million range. Of course, you can take out a normal consumer loan. It is only possible to obtain a mortgage or a loan for a property on Lake Balaton or in another region from a Hungarian bank if you have several years of secure employment in Hungary. It is possible to borrow against existing properties in Hungary, but financing is almost impossible for foreigners. Due to the high interest rates in Hungary, financing is also rather unprofitable. The most popular option in Hungary is therefore to buy a property with your own funds.
Yes, there are even many German-speaking providers who will look after your property on Lake Balaton while you are away. If required, they can also take over the tasks involved in renting out your property as a vacation home. We are happy to arrange the contacts.
