Should I buy or rent a home in Budapest?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Budapest, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"It is not a difficult process if you are not getting a loan - that is difficult for a foreigner. But when you consider I came with next to nothing and was able to purchase - you can too. If you remodel, call me - this was the reason I began my expat assistance business - despite speaking the language that was a great challenge," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Budapest, Hungary.
"Yes my husband and I very quickly purchased a unrenovated apartment. I am a real estate consultant, so I believe in renovation adding value . I did not want to pay for someone else's poor renovation. The process is not difficult. You may contact me for help," commented one expat who made the move to Budapest, Hungary.
