When you decide buying a property you will want everything to be handled perfectly. We offer full guidance on handling the purchase of your property. We will do whatever we can to guide you through the procedure. Everything will be handled by the Hungarian (mostly English speaking) estate Agents and/or mediator and of course the lawyers. This is an advantage for you as buyer as they will guide you through the contract and completion as well as the transfer of your electricity, water connection etc. They know the way, it is their job and they are pleased to be at your service. All is explained by the name. "Magyar Ház" is Hungarian for"Hungarian House".
We do this not only for our own offerings, but if you need help when you have found your dream house yourself, we are also there for you. Read more information here.
Looking for assistance on any other area than our 'full estate agency service' ? We may be able to help you searching for that special house; wish to start a business; need a solicitor; wish to refurbish or renovate?? Look at the page for services, or send us a mail and we may be able to help.
Account in Hungarian Forints.
The only way to open a bank account is being in Hungary. If you are not able to travel to Hungary and you still want to have access to forints or to reserve them because, for example, the exchange rate is good, you can use (among others) Wise.com (www.wise.com). A money broker where you can open an account and put money in the currency you want. That way you can already buy some forints at a good rate.
Attention. Wise.com is not a bank and therefore the deposit guarantee protection does not apply!.
Can you buy in Hungary?
Please check out the buying procedure to see if there is an oppurtunity for you to buy in Hungary. Not everyone is allowed to buy. Also good to know that a Hungarian House does not give you any permanent residence or so. Also no right for a VISA.

We work in the next area and you can find a total overview on this map.
Lake Balaton is very well known and we have offerings west of Lake Balaton with Hévíz and Keszthely as the centre. Very nice and touristic area with of course Lake Balaton, but also the thermal lake of Hévíz. Also nice area to rent out your second home.
Bit South of Balaton, in the area Siófok - Dombóvár – Kaposvár – Pécs there is a nice hilly area, lots of wine yards, really Hungary and not too far from Lake Balaton and bigger cities.

Prices (including buying costs, excluding one-time buying tax)
The house we offer gives an oppurtunity for everyone. You can already buy from GBP 10,000. Obviously this is not an immediately habitable house, but a building with walls and a roof. From GBP 15,000 you will buy much better quality and a house that is possible to renovate. From GBP 25,000 up you have something that you can instantly use for your holiday, or even permanently to live in. Property of more than GBP 60,000 will be or very large, or you pay for the location, such as near the lake. In short, for all possibilities and amounts you will find posibilities.
At Hungarian Houses, of course prices still include all costs (excluding tax).
Buying Process
In general buying in Hungary is no problem for EU-citizens. In the EU is agreed that everyone can buy in all Member States. Obviously there are some exceptions (eg wine houses and large land areas), but generally you can purchase everything we have on the website.
First step can be going to Hungary and meet with the agent/mediator. If you want to buy, you can start the purchase process if you are in Hungary, but can also be arranged when you return home. Through the mail and the post much can been done. Here you can read more on the buying process.
