Buy a house in Hungary if you want to live safely
 

Ungarn ImmobilienThe crime rate in the UK, Germany, Austria and Switzerland is developing to the worse, it is better in Hungary. There has been a significant decline in almost all areas, which has a particularly positive effect on the sense of security of the country's inhabitants. Violent crime is rare and property crime and drug-related crime are under control.

Added to this is the country's cultural and historical diversity. Characterized by Roman ruins, medieval castles and Ottoman baths, Hungary has many tourist attractions and leisure activities. The capital Budapest is particularly fascinating with its Art Nouveau architecture and famous thermal baths. Traditional festivals, Hungarian cuisine and the outstanding wine culture make Hungary a fascinating destination full of discoveries for tourists and expats alike.
 



Buying a house in Hungary: FAQ


Do you have any questions? We have the answers. Read short answers to frequently asked questions below - but you can also find detailed answers in our additional FAQ section. We hope you enjoy browsing, searching and dreaming!

Yes, as a citizen of an EU state or a state of the EEA and Switzerland, you are on an equal footing with Hungarian citizens when buying a house or other real estate. For citizens of countries that do not belong to the EU, EEA or Switzerland, an application must be submitted to the government authorities, whereby the positive decision is more of a formality.

For certain types of real estate such as farmland, forests, vineyards, etc., there are restrictions for Hungarians as well as for Swiss and Germans in terms of size, building possibilities or residency. In addition, pre-emption rights must be observed. Let us advise you as real estate agents to find your ideal house in Hungary on the perfect piece of land.

The choice of the right house and location in Hungary depends on several factors that should match your individual preferences and needs.

  • First of all, the region is crucial: popular areas such as Budapest offer urban life, culture and a variety of work opportunities, while rural regions such as Lake Balaton or the Great Plain offer tranquillity and proximity to nature.
  • The choice of house size depends on family size or housing needs; typical Hungarian houses range from compact apartments to spacious villas.
  • Local infrastructure is also important, especially if access to schools, health services and shopping facilities are required.
  • As a buyer, you should also consider the build quality and condition of the house, as well as possible renovations and maintenance costs.
  • Cultural and social interests play a role, as certain areas may offer cultural events and activities.


Simply make a list of all your requirements and wishes - this will narrow down the selection when searching. We will then be happy to go through everything else with you personally and help you to buy the perfect house in Hungary!

When buying a house or other real estate, 4% land transfer tax is due, which is invoiced approximately 3 months after entry in the land register. In addition, it is usual for the buyer to bear the costs of the lawyer. The usual rate is 1% of the sale value. The entry in the land register is associated with marginal costs of around EUR 15. As a rule, the seller pays the estate agent's commission in Hungary, although this is not stipulated by law and there are also estate agents who receive commission from buyers and sellers. With us, the purchase of a house is free of commission for the buyer. You can therefore roughly calculate 5% of the purchase price as the cost of buying a house in Hungary.

Depending on your budget and personal taste, you can of course also opt for a villa, a castle or a palace instead of the classic house purchase in Hungary. However, you should bear in mind that you may have to invest additional costs in restoration - some of the properties are not or not fully renovated. Top renovated farmhouses are also a possibility; it all depends on your preferences.

Anyone thinking of buying a villa with small turrets and round arches will find what they are looking for here, as will anyone looking for an ultra-modern, chic villa with glass fronts on the golf course. Hungary has something for everyone who wants to buy a house, villa or palace here.

A house on Lake Balaton is attractive to many people. Due to its unique location and the associated quality of life, both tourists and expatriates are regularly drawn here. At 596 m², Lake Balaton is the largest lake in Central Europe and as such offers a picturesque backdrop. With its shimmering turquoise waters and surrounding nature that promotes rest and relaxation, it's like living in paradise. The shores of Lake Balaton are lined with charming villages and towns such as Balatongyörök, Keszthely and Siófok, which offer cultural sights, traditional markets and gastronomic experiences. The fact that Lake Balaton is also a popular tourist destination means that you can benefit from several factors at once:

  • good infrastructure with schools, stores and medical care nearby
  • excellent connections to Budapest and other cities
  • known for its wine production, with numerous wineries and vineyards


In addition, houses on Lake Balaton are occasionally equipped with direct access to the lakeshore or impressive views of the water and surrounding hills. If that's not a selling point!
