For buyers
Buying in Hungary, without surprises
Many of our listings name the owner. You can negotiate directly, or leave the whole process to us.
The FINDDOME model
The owner’s name and number are in the listing too.
This is not a slogan but the heart of our model. Where the owner has agreed to it, you can contact them directly. If you arrange the purchase that way, nobody pays commission. We have already been paid for the listing.
Full support
- Communication between you and the seller, including interpreters.
- Viewings, with a colleague who speaks your language.
- Support with the price negotiation and with drawing up the bilingual contract.
- Representation under power of attorney: you do not need to travel to Hungary to sign.
- Registration at the land registry and the transfer of utilities.

More on thisWhat buyers ask us
What does “direct from the owner” mean?
For much of our stock we publish the owner’s name and phone number alongside our own details. You can contact the seller directly.
If you contact them directly and arrange the purchase yourselves, nobody pays commission: neither you nor the seller. We are then paid only for the listing.
What does your brokerage cost?
Our commission is 4% net with a minimum of €2,000, plus 21% Dutch VAT. It is paid by the Hungarian seller, not by you.
We invoice only when all three conditions are met: there is a written sale and purchase agreement, the buyer was introduced by FINDDOME, and the deposit has been paid.
Can I buy a property in Hungary as an EU citizen?
Yes. As an EU citizen you buy houses and plots in Hungary on practically the same terms as a Hungarian. Almost 100% of Hungarian property stands on freehold land. Leasehold arrangements such as the Dutch erfpacht are rare.
Separate rules apply to agricultural land. An EU citizen with an agricultural qualification may acquire up to 300 hectares in Hungary; we handle that procedure in full.
Do I have to travel to Hungary to sign?
No. We can represent you in Hungary under a power of attorney, so you do not need to come over for the signing.
We also take care of registration at the Hungarian land registry and the transfer of utilities.
In which language is the sale and purchase agreement drawn up?
We have bilingual agreements drawn up, so you read what you sign.
Price guide: Hungarian from €150, German–Hungarian and English–Hungarian from €300, Dutch–Hungarian from €400.
What exactly does FINDDOME arrange when you buy?
Consultation by phone and email, and communication between both parties
Personal appointments and viewings on site
A colleague who speaks your language and travels with you
Support with the price negotiation
Preparation of the multilingual agreement
Handling the whole purchase
Registration of the new owner and transfer of utilities
Why do buyers from Western Europe choose Hungary?
Property and living costs are considerably lower
Property tax is generally not charged in Hungary
More sun and a milder climate
The country lies above sea level, in the middle of the continent
Hungary is an EU member state
Almost all property stands on freehold land
Does a Hungarian property have an energy certificate?
Yes. Hungary requires an energy performance certificate (energiatanúsítvány), and it must be stated in the listing. In our listings the rating is shown under the features; “pending” means the certificate is still being prepared.
If the seller wishes, we can have the certificate prepared for them.
