If you are a cash buyer you are in a strong position compared to someone who needs to get a mortgage. One property we were interested in ended up in a bidding war between three parties. I was only prepared to pay so much and left the other two to fight it out. https://www.lawyershungary.com/inher...%20descendants. |
Re: House Hunting Questions
The purchase process has changed a bit for UK citizens (ie non EU post brexit), as part of the purchase process your lawyer will make an application for approval for the purchase with the local authority. It takes 4 to 6 weeks, there is a small fee about the equivalent of 50 pounds. It is a bit unclear what they check but for a normal property it is probably a rubber stamp. If you a buying some kind of historical property etc, it may get more scrutiny.
I live at the western end of Balaton, near Keszthely. Anywhere new to the lake is in high demand with the EU buyers so the prices are high, for example Cserszegtomaj which has bigger land sizes, is still very expensive, 300k plus euros, I did not notice if you had a budget, but having driven through Zala county to Zalaegerszeg it is beautiful rolling country side with plenty of wooded areas and smaller villages. But I am sure you will have a good look around when you visit. |

It depends what you want and where. There are also plenty of cheap farm houses further south. |

https://www.hungarianhousesforsale.c...balaton-houses It's crazy how the house prices have rocketed here in Bükkszék in the last 3 or 4 years. Unfortunately, most are being bought as second homes or holiday lets which is not great for the local economy and people who live here permanently. |

It's very sad if houses are being bought as second homes because it means building more new houses for locals. I was born in Peterborough and it was chosen as an area for development. The countryside used to start where my primary school was. No more .....
