Your roadmap
The exact steps for your situation. Buying: EU or non-EU, cash or mortgage, the permit and paperwork in the right order. Selling: pricing, documents, tax on the gain, and handling it from abroad if you need to.
Openly priced. No commissions. No stake in your deal.
Buying or selling in Budapest? An hour of independent, personal guidance.
Agents and developers do a useful job, and they are usually paid by the sale. We sell no listings and take no commissions from anyone, so for one hour every answer is focused entirely on your situation. You leave with a concrete plan for your purchase or your sale.
What you get
One hour, three deliverables
Price and district context
Where to look for your budget and life, or what your flat can realistically sell for, with the data to judge any listing or offer. Grounded in sourced figures and ten years of buying and renovating here.
A second look at your deal
Bring a specific listing, an agent’s proposal, an offer, or a contract situation. We tell you what we would check, what deserves a closer look, and what we would ask before committing.
Who this is for, and who it is not for
It is for you if you are seriously considering buying or selling in Budapest in the next year or so and want an independent sanity check before you commit: on the process, the district, the price, or a specific flat.
It is not for you if you just want to understand how the process works. The buying guide and the selling guide cover it in full. We would rather you read it than pay us for what it already says. Come back when your questions are about your situation, not the process in general.
Why trust us with this
We are a Dutch-Hungarian couple who have spent about ten years buying, renovating, and renting out Budapest homes, first for ourselves, then for friends, then for other expats. We run this site, its sourced guides, and its public no-hidden-commissions policy. This consult is the openly priced help that policy promised.
Request your consult
Tell us where you are in the process. We reply within one working day with available times; you pay only when a time is confirmed. 149 EUR, 60 minutes, money back if it was not worth it.
Fair questions
Why would I pay when the guides cover the process?
Often you do not need to. The consult becomes useful once your questions are about your specific situation. The guides explain the market; the consult applies it to your budget, your district, your flat, your timeline. Many readers find the guides are all they need, and that is a great outcome.
Are you agents?
No. We sell no listings, we take no commission from agents, developers, or lawyers, and we earn nothing from what you decide to buy or not buy. The consult fee is our only payment, which is why the advice can be completely candid.
What if you cannot help with my case?
We say so before you pay, and point you to the guide or the right kind of professional instead.
What if the call was not worth it?
Say so at the end and we refund the fee. We are happy to offer that because we aim to make every hour worth it.
