Established in 2005, HELPERS is Hungary’s leading provider of comprehensive business and personal services for international clients.

Hungary’s real estate market is booming and full of opportunities. Since prices are significantly lower here than in Western Europe, high-end real estate like hotels, factories or luxury residential properties can be surprisingly affordable.

Pricing Reviews FAQ Contact us

Helpers is more than a real estate agency – our job is to represent our clients’ interest and find them the best possible deals, whether through our partner agents or through our extensive network. We focus on selected and pre-evaluated, often unlisted “insider” opportunities that you will not find anywhere else. Whether you are an acquisition agent searching for the perfect premises, or looking to buy an apartment in Budapest for your family, Helpers is here to assist you through every step of the process.

Investment opportunities

In our portfolio, we have included apartments, houses, villas and a wide range of residential real estate, as well as commercial properties (offices, buildings, hotels and restaurants) exclusively selected from the biggest agency portfolios and other sources available to us through our extensive network.

Golden Visa

Starting from January, 2025, an investment of EUR 500,000 into residential property in Hungary will entitle you to long term residency (also known as the Golden Visa program). As experts on both investment and immigration, Helpers is your perfect partner to advise and support you. In addition to finding you the right property, we can also manage it in your absence, and handle your residency procedure. For more information, click here.

Property Management

Owning a property abroad can be tricky business, especially if you are not living in Hungary full-time. Don’t worry: our property management services are tailored to foreign home-owners and investors, and can turn your property ownership in Hungary into pleasant and trouble-free experience for you.

Investment in residential or commercial property

When buying an apartment, a house, or any kind of commercial building through Helpers, you can rest assured that you will find a good match in no time. To start the property search, we ask for an advance fee, deductible from the success fee due after you make the purchase.

Your costs will be made up of the following:

Property search advance fee: EUR 800 (+VAT if applicable), which covers a consultation about your requirements and your best options, our team selecting the properties that best match your query, and reviewing the selection together with a colleague (in person if you are in Budapest)
Success fee for residential property (payable only if a deal is finalized): 0.5-1.5% of the purchase price minus the advance fee (+VAT if applicable)
Success fee for commercial property (payable only if a deal is finalized): 0.5-2% of the investment minus the advance fee (+VAT if applicable)
Legal fees: max. 1% of the investment (+VAT if applicable), which covers the preparation of the contract, the transfer of ownership, and the registration of the property under your name
Registration tax: 4% of the investment, collected by the Hungarian Tax Authority
For non-EU citizens a purchase license is required before the sale can be approved by the state: EUR 200 (+VAT if applicable)

Property management

Whether you want to rent out your apartment or use it only when you are in Hungary, you can outsource the management of the property to us.

Price: 12% of the monthly rental fee, starting from EUR 60 (+VAT) / month.

Includes:

Periodic check-ups of the property
Picking up mail
Notifying you of any broken appliances or other required repairs
Collecting rent from the tenant
Paying the bills
Representing you at building assemblies
Serving as a general contact and keyholder for your property

What our clients say

Kseniia R

I am incredibly grateful to Helpers for their work and professionalism! Tala curated our case. She was extremely patient and supported us immensely throughout the process. I value the most that the timeline Helpers provided was clear, detailed, and very helpful. In the end, my husband and I had two successful visa cases. The team members always replied swiftly and knew all the answers. I would also like to thank our lawyer, Naomi, for her work on the case!
Y Schwartz

I’m writing this review because the lawyer I spoke with before helpers (who is high up in the google search results) wanted 150 euro before he would say a word to me about my Hungarian visa issues. By contrast, Helpers were kind, attentive and extremely fair. Anna is an excellent and sharp advocate, she helped me quickly and effectively, and I can’t recommend Helpers enough. (In retrospect, I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised to find an idealistic and capable firm when of all the names available, they chose the name Helpers.)
Selcuk K

I would like to thank Ekin and Anna who helped me from the beginning to the end from company incorporation, opening a company bank account and obtaining a residence/work permit. Their communication was very positive and constructive and always solution oriented. The Helpers are very professional and when I need an opinion or ask for an update, they are very quick to respond. I can recommend them to everyone.
Chris M

Helpers was dedicated to facilitating my case. There were several instances where I thought I would not succeed and I simply would have been lost in the maze of bureaucracy without them. The initial application submission assistance is convenient and relatively easier than doing it yourself, but the real value in this service is having a third party closer to the inside that is more fluent in the language and can help eliminate the inevitable confusion and complication. Rest assured Helpers can simplify and illuminate the path to success for you.
Imran B

I have done my residency through Helpers and the whole process was so smooth. Tala is super knowledgeable and guided me through every step of the process and all timelines were met just as explained to me. very professional and efficient company to work with. would highly recommend them for all your immigration needs in Hungary. Thank you Tala and everyone else that has contributed in making this process a breeze 🙏

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

If I am not sure what type of property is best for my investment plans, can you advise?

Since we are not a real estate agency, our sole interest lies in finding you the best deal (rather than trying to sell a particular property), so we are more than happy to help figure out the best option for you!

As a foreigner, can I simply buy a property or do I need a license?

If you are from outside the EU, you will need a permit for buying real estate – but don’t worry, we will acquire this licence for you as part of our service. Read more here.

Does it make a difference whether I buy the property as an individual or as a company?

There are various issues to consider, including taxation, but we can help you calculate the costs for each option – you can buy as an individual, set up a Hungarian holding company, or (if the property is currently owned by a company) buy the current corporate owner. Discuss these options with us in advance, so you can make an informed decision!

Can you help me calculate the returns on my property, so I can decide the best rental structure?

Naturally, we are here to advise you – we can estimate the income and expense both for long-term and short-term rental, so you can make an informed decision.
