Hungary



Focus on property in Hungary

At Essential Investment Property we have identified Hungary as a country where prime real estate appears under-valued.  We strongly believe that Hungary property offers a highly attractive investment opportunity.

Hungary is located in central Europe and is only a 90 minute flight from London.  Historically, Hungary was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which during the 1st World War collapsed and became part of the Soviet bloc until 1989.  Hungary’s incredible transition to a Western-style democracy has been quick and very effective.

Hungary achieved full EU membership in May 2004 and since then, successive governments have primarily concentrated on developing internal and external markets.  As a direct result, Hungary has attracted over $20 billion of foreign investment which has helped to strengthen its economy and improve the infrastructure. 

Budapest, the country’s capital is one of Hungary’s most popular investment hotspots and there is no sign of a slow down.  Budapest is a magnificent cosmopolitan city located alongside the stunning River Danube.

Budapest, today known as The Paris of the East, was the second city of the all-powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire and at the turn of the 20th century was one of the leading cities of the world. Today, Budapest is a sophisticated city, famous for its stunning architecture,  Opera House, imposing theatres, boutiques, restaurants and bars.  Budapest has a well-established infrastructure including a underground transport system, tram network and international rail links.
