Nevertheless, prices remain low compared to other European countries. We consciously calculate conservatively.

How safe is the model?

Two ways to get a secured share.

We are talking about completely normal real estate ownership, secured by the land register - supplemented by a notarized shareholder agreement. The alternative is to secure yourself via the commercial register: participation in a company that is registered as the owner in the land register.

Corporation

Participation through a Hungarian Kft

The property belongs to the joint Kft, profits are paid out proportionately like dividends. The sale of shares does not require any change to the land register.

Civil law involvement

Co-ownership with land register shares

All partners are registered as private individuals in the land register, and a shareholder agreement regulates the cooperation.

Sample calculation · Classic rental

One real project, two models.

Apartment: approx. 110 m², 8th district, 3 studios with basic rent of €600 each (tenants pay additional costs). The “normal” rental serves as the basis for calculation - but all properties are planned in such a way that they can also serve short-term rentals depending on their location and equipment.

Anyone who invests €100,000 in such a project can spend around five years with around €21,000 rental income (after deduction of all costs and taxes) and additionally with approx €25,000 increase in value (adjusted for inflation). If sold after five years, this profit is tax-free in the private model.

Would you like to become a partner in an attractive period property in Budapest for a manageable amount? Let's check together which model suits you better - we'll also clarify any other questions during the conversation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I purchase one of the units for myself?

The value of the units is determined by the area, but also by the achievable rent. As a rule, it is therefore fairer for everyone if the income goes into one pot and is paid out according to the shares. Nevertheless, an allocation can be regulated within the framework of the partnership agreement: the purchase price then corresponds to the area of ​​the apartment, the income goes directly to the owner, while common expenses are divided among all owners.

Since you cannot mix both models, the first buyer of a share decides which model applies to this apartment.

Can I use one of the units myself if necessary?

That depends on the partner model - but it can be solved through an agreement: you define an imputed rent and offset it against the distribution so that the co-owners are not at a disadvantage. The owner who uses the property himself pays the share of additional costs.

Can I expand my share?

All partners have a right of first refusal in the event of a sale. You will be automatically informed when another partner leaves and can take over the share at the market price.

What happens if a shareholder fails?

A failure - be it due to late payment, communication problems or death - can be represented in both models, but requires clear rules. In the civil law model, the risk is higher because unanimity is usually required; Contractual clauses for sales, succession and voting rights should be included here. In the Kft model, such cases can be regulated more easily: majority decisions, sanctions or share buybacks can be anchored in the articles of association.

Is the sale really tax-free after 5 years?

Yes, both in the private model and when selling real estate through the Kft - but not when selling Kft shares (usually taxable in the home country).

Can I get financing as a foreigner?

Bank loans are difficult if you do not live in Hungary. Equity is usually required. Some foreign banks may offer options, but these need to be checked carefully.

What happens in the event of an inheritance? How can a shareholding be inherited?

Both a share in the land register (civil law model) and a share in a Hungarian Kft can generally be inherited. In the civil law model, inheritance takes place according to Hungarian civil law - there is no direct inheritance tax in Hungary. In the Kft model, the share in the company is transferred via a notarized document and entered in the commercial register; Depending on the partnership agreement, the co-partners may have a right of first refusal.

Important for international investors: Whether inheritance or gift tax applies in your home country depends on your tax residence and the type of asset. Clarify this in advance with a tax advisor.
