Find your new home in Budapest easy-breezy

Budapest is a buzzing treasure in the heart of Europe, with 1.74 million people living here. Sights, nightlife, culture, excellent schools, food – you name it, and Budapest has it. No wonder then that the majority of the 143 thousand foreigners who relocate to Hungary live in Budapest. However, one major challenge that all foreigners in Budapest must face is finding a proper apartment to rent. This is no small task even for an experienced traveller, so how can students and new ex-pats tackle this challenge?

Traps of relocation

If you are trying to hunt for a rental home online, you need to roll up your sleeves. You are entering an unfamiliar housing market with no prior knowledge about the locations and fair prices. Local landlords often treat foreigners with suspicion, or what’s worse: they may try to take advantage of your unfamiliarity with the local circumstances.

Language is also an issue.

Hungarian is a difficult language to master, but finding a landlord who can speak proper English may prove just as tricky.

It would help if you also felt safe when moving to a new location. Getting to know the city takes time, so you might find yourself in an area that is not completely pleasant or end up renting from a landlord who simply disappears as soon as you need him to fix the water heater or the toilet. The consequences are quite sh…, well, you can imagine.

Who can you trust?

It is a much safer option to rent from a professional real estate management company when starting fresh in a foreign country.

But be aware: if you are using the services of a company that is only serving as an intermediary, you may end up in the exact same situation as you were before – only way more expensive.
