The best way to check out Hungary as a place and see the wide selection of properties on offer is to take one of our low cost Viewing Trips.<\/p>\n

Please be assured the Viewing Trip is a hassle free experience \u2013 we are not selling time share properties nor are you dealing with an unscrupulous developer !!\u00a0\u00a0 We treat our clients with the utmost respect and even though we would like to sell you a property it is more important to us that you come back to the UK having had an enjoyable experience \u2013 this way you will tell others to come and check things out. With over 600 happy British property buyers and 15 years experience we are more than happy to provide you with the necessary references from people who live in your local area \u2013 not just the families that bought property but also names of people who for whatever the reason decided not to buy.<\/p>\n

\u201c I was amazed how relaxed things were during the viewing trip \u2013 \u00a0I must admit I did expect some pressure to buy but everything was so very relaxed and we had a great time \u201c<\/strong>\u00a0 Steve & Jane Stoke on Trent<\/p>\n

You can come across and visit whenever it is more convenient for you \u2013 choose when flights are the cheapest, or when you can take holidays from work. Ideally the Viewing Trip should be for a minimum 3 nights. The \u00a0B & B\u2019s we use all have en suite rooms. The price includes bed, breakfast plus one evening meal at a nice restaurant close to Lake Balaton. This still leaves you two evenings free to have nice meals and do some exploring for yourself.<\/p>\n

\nYou notify me of your proposed travel plans and I will check the diary with the Hungarian office to make sure those dates are free. In due course I will send you out an info pack with maps and further information along with a questionnaire which we ask you to complete \u2013 basically a \u201cwish list\u201c of the type of property you think you would like to see & any preferences regarding sleeping ( Double, single, twin etc ) plus any food allergies etc and then we will do the rest.
\nOn the day of travel we will be waiting for you in the airport lobby with a name board. We then take you by car through Budapest & then check you in at one of the B & B\u2019s we use close to Lake Balaton.
\nOn your first full day we will collect you after breakfast and take you to our nearby office. You will be shown a selection of our latest properties and further details on any properties you may have pre selected prior to your trip. You will be shown maps and given a quick overview of the Lake Balaton region.<\/p>\n

The next two days will be spent escorting you and visiting properties that meet your criteria & also showing you the surrounding countryside and sites. Please let me know if there is a particular hobby or past time you enjoy and would like to check out eg. spend an hour chilling out at one of the popular Thermal Health Spa. You will also have the opportunity to meet other British families who have bought properties in Hungary and this way you will be able to ask them some direct questions. On the last day we will take you back to the airport for your flight back home.
\nWe are very fortunate in that many low cost airlines fly to airports close to Lake Balaton. Budapest is the closest ( approx 60 mins drive to the eastern shore ), Zagreb 1 hr 45 mins with Bratislava and Vienna only approx 2 hrs 15 mins drive. We are happy to meet you \/ return you to any of the above airports. There is a new airport called Budapest West just 15 mins drive from Lake Balaton which is due to open Spring 2013 \u2013 as yet we are unsure which low cost airlines will operate from this airport.
\nFor the Viewing Trip because you may be booking fights at fairly short notice so expect to pay around \u00a3100 to \u00a3180 per person return in peak season although by searching on line and booking well in advance or going out of season you may be able to book yourself return flights for less than \u00a3100. Most owners book flights well in advance and usually pay no more than \u00a3100 return even during school holidays. Once you have booked your flights please let me know the flight numbers on the questionnaire and I will then reserve your accommodation.
\nIf you would like help in booking flights then please call me and I can do this for you.
\nIf you do decide to buy a property in subsequent years you can benefit from cheaper flights and special offers (typically less than \u00a3100 return) by booking months in advance and also by joining the airlines loyalty programmes.
\nPlease note all the airlines have their own little ways of adding charges as you go through the booking process. The airlines have to make money and the extra charges eg. paying by credit card, even though not justified for that particular service, it is just the way different airlines structure their prices and advertise accordingly.
\nJust appreciate when all costs are included a single flight of 1200 miles for around \u00a3100 is still cheap !!!<\/p>\n

Here are a few general hints and tips in order to keep flight costs to a minimum :-<\/p>\n
