Investment property: Hungary

We act on the buyer's side: shortlist, checks, end-to-end deal support.

Hungary is a market with a clear center of gravity in Budapest: the capital attracts most non-resident demand, from historic apartments in Pest to new builds along the Danube. Foreigners can buy property, but citizens of non-EU countries need a permit from the local administrative office - in practice usually a formality with a clear procedure and timeline. Residency is a subtler matter: in 2024 Hungary launched its guest investor program, which includes investment in real estate funds among its options, but the route to residency through direct purchase of a home was removed from the law before it ever took effect. So buying an apartment does not by itself grant residency, and claims to the contrary deserve scrutiny.

We select properties for your goal - an income apartment in Budapest, a home for yourself or program entry through a fund, verify legal title against the land registry, handle the purchase permit and the transaction itself with a Hungarian lawyer. We help structure ownership and, if residency is the goal, lay out honestly which options actually work and which only ever existed in headlines.

FAQ

Can a foreigner buy property in Hungary?
Yes. EU citizens face no restrictions; citizens of other countries need a permit from the local administrative office - in practice a standard procedure that we handle. Refusals are rare and usually concern special categories of land.
Does buying property in Hungary grant residency?
A direct home purchase does not: that option was removed from the guest investor program before it took effect. Other options remain in the program, including investment in real estate funds. We explain what actually works at the current moment.
How do I start?
With the goal: income, a home for yourself or residency - these are different routes. For a purchase we prepare a shortlist in Budapest or the regions, start the permit procedure and property checks, then manage the transaction.
