We have a unique style, we pay special attention to our clients, we keep in mind all the small details, and we do everything to exceed your expectations. This is what makes us stand out among other real estate agencies in Hungary.

We have extensive experience in selling properties to Hungarian citizens. Apart from the fact that we speak your language, we know what your needs are, since our headquarters are in Budapest. This makes it possible for us to give you advice regarding mortgages, currency exchange, the areas where fellow Hungarians prefer to buy properties, as well as to help you in the legal process of the purchase.

Our priority is to guide our client to choose the adequate property in accordance with his or her needs, preferences and budget.

Sincerity, reliability, respect. We believe that good business relationships are created on the basis of these values, and we are convinced that the best publicity is our clients’ satisfaction.

Transparent and reliable information. We provide complete transparency for our clients regarding all of our properties, including their descriptions, photos, videos, blueprints, and their inspection. Our team will help you clear any doubts you might have.

When purchasing a property in Spain, it is always recommended to hire a local lawyer who speaks Hungarian and can help you in all the stages of the purchase-sale transaction.

At Lukentum we cooperate with several well-known law firms with extensive professional experience. We will be happy to introduce one of them to you in case you haven’t chosen a lawyer yet.

The lawyer will offer you a free consultation during which he or she will inform you about the services and guide you through each step of the purchase-sale transaction.

It is not difficult to finance the purchase of a house in Alicante, Murcia or Almería. Before you purchase the property, we will show you several Spanish and Hungarian banks that have the best offers and conditions. Lukentum will give you advice and assist you in all the necessary documentation and administration.

Bank charges associated with mortgage loans  The main fees in relation to a mortgage are the following:

Costs before obtaining a mortgage  The bank evaluates the property that is to be mortgaged. The fee of this procedure in Spain is around €200, but it varies depending on the value of the property.

Fees of obtaining a mortgage

Formalization fee: It is a percentage applied when the loan is granted; it significantly influences the total cost of the loan, and it is counted in the calculation of the APR. This commission in Spain is generally 1% of the total sum of the loan, but it can vary significantly from bank to bank.

Tax of documented legal transactions: this is 0.5% of the total guaranteed sum (the loan, its costs and the interest). It is approximately 1% of the capital.

Notary and registration fee: This is the official rate defined by the Spanish law. Its ammount directly depends on the sum of the loan, but usually it is around €1000 in the case of properties.

Administrative costs:  In Spain once the contract is signed, it is reported at the tax office in order to calculate the tax and get the property registered at the Property Registry. Its fee is approximately €150.

Subrogation fee:  This commission is charged by the bank if there is an existing mortgage on the property and the buyer assumes it. This is also around 1%, but in some cases it may be less.
