THE GARDENS, BUDAPEST - THE LOCATION
The Gardens Budapest is located in District XIII which has long enjoyed a reputation as Pest's attractive riverside district, with superb views of Margaret Island and excellent road and public transport links to the city centre. It is situated directly on the metro line, which serves both the city centre and universities and is now enjoying a new lease of life as an up-and-coming business district. Traditionally a middle-class suburb offering comfortable housing, it is now being developed as an upmarket docklands area, with many new housing projects designed to appeal to the new residents arriving to enjoy District XIII's unique ambience. Dedicated shoppers will also be interested to learn that it is the home of West-End City Centre, Budapest's largest shopping centre. The Vaci ut office corridor runs through District XIII
and it is lined with office complexes and Class A
offices. Many banks and international companies
relocate to Vaci ut and the two biggest office
complexes, Duna Tower and Europe Tower are also
here.
In addition to this, the headquarters of the police
and social security as well as dozens of office
buildings, hotels, car showrooms, bank and
insurance company buildings are all located

vicinity: KPMG, Sony Ericsson, 3M, Bridgestone, Knight Frank, Lombard Insurance Group, Oriflame, Allianz Bank, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Fortis, Porsche Bank and Ricoh. Within these companies there are 7-10,000
professionals seeking quality accommodation,
close to their place of work. The area is rapidly
becoming hugely popular and the infrastructure is
impressive, with tram, metro and bus connections
close by, as well as easy access by car either to the

THE GARDENS, BUDAPEST - THE INVESTMENT
Prices from under €100,000
With low property prices compared to most European capital cities, Budapest is benefiting from €22.6 billion Euros from the EU, and with new tax benefits
for property investors and an exciting leasing
finance market with up to 85% Loan to Value for
non-residents, it is widely expected that
properties in key areas are set for sustainable
growth and high returns on capital invested.
2 year rental guarantee - 6% Net
With strong domestic rental demand in key districts across Budapest, the developer is
offering purchasers at The Gardens a rental guarantee of 6% for 2 years from completion. The return will be paid in arrears on a monthly basis and is guaranteed at a minimum of 6% of the property price Net of all costs.
Only 15% deposit required
Purchasers at The Gardens are only required to pay a low deposit of 15% of the purchase price with nothing further to pay until completion. On completion the balance of 85% will be covered by a pre-arranged finance facility.
VAT efficient purchasing
In Hungary the VAT (AFA) is included in the price so unlike locations such as Spain purchasers will not have to pay VAT on top of the purchase price; meaning the VAT can be included in the mortgage as opposed to being an extra cost and drain on
capital.
Hungary is due to adopt the EURO in 2013
It is scheduled that Hungary will join the European Monetary Union in 2013 which means the Hungarian Forint will be converted into Euros. Looking back at historical trends, every country to adopt the Euro has benefited from an immediate 15%-30% increase in property prices.
No Capital Gains tax after 5 years
From January 1st 2008 there was a new legislation introduced for private individuals buying property as an investment in Hungary. Properties bought by a private individual and sold in the fifth year of ownership or after will be subject to 0% capital gains tax.
Low status 85% LTV leasing finance
Hungary is one of the few countries where you can use leasing finance to purchase residential property. The leasing company owns the title deeds to the property for the term, which can be up to 30 years, but during this term the purchaser has unrestricted use of the property to either rent it, live in it or sell it. At the end of the leasing term, the title
deeds to the property automatically transfer from the leasing company to the purchaser. Also, the lease and eventual full ownership of the property can be transferred, for a small fee, to another person at any time.
Pay interest only payments on 80% of price
Unlike a mortgage, on a lease you pay interest on the capital borrowed, NOT on both the capital + VAT. As VAT is included in the price in Hungary, you pay interest on just 80% of the purchase price, reducing your monthly payments by 20%.
Defer up to 30% of the price for up to 30 years
An open-ended lease contract allows the buyer to defer the payment of a nominated % of the lease capital (this % becomes a "balloon" or "bullet" payment). This leasing offer allows you to defer payment of up to 30% of the leased finance amount until the end of the 25 or 30 year leasing term.
No fees for 2 years and no communal charges
For the first 2 years after completion the rental guarantee is NET of usual ongoing letting, management and communal costs associated with a Buy-to-Let investment property. After that period the tenant also continues to pay the communal costs, which in most countries are the responsibility of the landlord.
