PodcastShared buildings
Looking at the flat, buying the problem? — Szilber Szilvia
The real value of a flat in a block is often set not by the flat but by the building itself.
The episode is in Hungarian.
The episode, embedded:
Most buyers look at the living room, the kitchen and the flooring. My guest is Szilber Szilvia, a building manager and elected representative, and we talked about the hidden problems of shared buildings.
What we cover:
- service charges, and why a zero-balance certificate matters
- what bad building management leads to
- the documents every buyer should see before purchase
- the digitisation of shared buildings
- the 2026 changes in Hungarian law
- how to spot the warning signs that later turn into costs in the millions
If you've bought, sold, or plan to buy a flat in a block, this one is worth watching through.
