The survey showed that renovation works could involve 750,000-800,000 homes by the end of 2022. In Central Hungary, around 15% of owners have plans for upgrades, in the western part some 20% and in the eastern part around 23%.

A little more than 14% of respondents said they would work on painting, decorating and wallpapering, around 4.6% would replace doors and windows and 4.2% would refurbish their bathrooms.
