Client testimonial
Helpers lives up to their name. They are truly helpful and customer-focused. I have used their services on numerous occasions and have always been satisfied that I got value for money. If you have a problem to solve I would highly recommend talking to them.
The Hungarian Central Statistical Office has published the first results of the census conducted last fall in Hungary. The first data pertain to the number of people and homes.
2023 tax changes in HungaryAre you an expat living, working, or doing business in Hungary? Then it is best if you keep an eye on changes to regulations in case any of them are relevant to you.
On December 15, 2015, the National Assembly lowered the VAT rate for new dwelling units to 5% from the previous 27%, in a further attempt to boost the property market.
Helpers is more than 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.
Hungary and especially Budapest has experienced a real estate price boom in the last two years. In 2003 alone, more than 270,000 purchase contracts were signed, but the number of the transactions did not even reach 90,000 between 2009 and 2013. However, 2014 was a turning point when this indicator started to increase, and the number of deals exceeded 110,000 by the end of the year. 135,000 transactions were conducted last year, and 2016 promises to be even busier – so it’s a good time to look for 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.
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.
When buying an apartment, a house, or any kind of commercial building through Helpers, you will pay only a success fee (and obligatory costs like legal and administrative fees).
Your costs will be made up of the following:
Whether you want to rent out your apartment (either short or long term) or use it only when you are in Hungary, with our management, this will not result in any wear and tear.

You may require some additional services that are not included in the packages above. We are happy to help you with anything, please find some ideas below:
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!
If you are from outside the EU, you will need a permit for buying property in Hungary – but don’t worry, we will acquire this licence for you as part of our real estate service.
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!
Whether you already know exactly what you're looking for, or are just now learning about the Hungarian market, we are happy to provide you with information and assistance!
