Affordable Property with Good Value Growth
Over the last four years house prices almost doubled in Hungary, meaning circa 18.5% yearly price increase (source: National Bank of Hungary — Housing Market Report, 2025 May).
This steady increase, with the additional benefits like good rental yields and favourable tax environment, makes Hungary an attractive property investment destination.
Low Purchase Prices
€150,000–250,000 can get you a central apartment in Budapest or a house near Lake Balaton. Even with recent price increases, Hungary remains one of the most affordable capital cities in the EU for property investment.
No or Minimal Annual Tax
Hungary has no nationwide annual property tax. Local municipalities may impose a building tax (építményadó), but it is usually modest and capped at HUF 1,100/m² (around €2.80/m²).
Low Transaction Costs
Total transaction costs — including stamp duty, legal fees, and agent commissions — are typically around 4–7% of the purchase price.
Additional benefits...
...if you rent the property out:
High Rental Yields — Especially in Budapest
You can often get 5–7% gross yield in good areas — in Western European capitals yields often hover around 2–4%.
Favorable Tax Regime for Rental Income
Hungary has no nationwide annual property tax. Local municipalities may impose a building tax (építményadó), but it is usually modest and capped at HUF 1,100/m² (around €2.80/m²).
...if you renovate & resell the property:
No Capital Gains Tax After 5 Years
If you hold the property for five years, there is no capital gains tax upon resale. The tax rate decreases proportionally year by year from the date of purchase, making medium-term flipping still financially viable.
No VAT on Resale
You generally don’t pay VAT when reselling a used residential property, unless you’re selling it as part of a business activity within two years of renovation.
...in case of business investment:
Favourable Tax Environment
Hungary offers one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the EU (9%), along with competitive rates on rental income and capital gains — making it a tax-efficient choice for real estate businesses and holding structures.
Affordable, Skilled Labour Force
Hungary provides access to a well-educated, multilingual workforce at a fraction of the cost compared to Western Europe. This makes it easier to operate or scale property-related services like property management, maintenance, or construction.
