Hungarian Association of Estate and Property Owners

Hungarian Landowners' Association

Fundamental ideas

• The aim of the association is to strengthen the landowners' status in the Hungarian social life and make the political powers acknowledge them as an important factor from the viewpoint of the development of the country.
• Our members are not interested in any business speculation, but they are such people who work on creating a modern country occasionally under difficult circumstances.
• In many cases our members lost large properties in the past and they got only smaller ones back later. However, in this they see the opportunity of 'starting again' about which they set with great energy, dynamism and optimism.

Aims and subjects

• regular exchange of information between members concerning the legal questions of acquisition, selling and tranfer of ownership
• securing proprietary rights
• influence on legal and economic regulation (national and European lobbying)
• further property acquisition before 2013 and after that
• current information for members being active in Hungary
