Apartments for sale

Julia asks:

Good afternoon. Looking for housing in Poland. Please tell me if there are any nuances when buying an apartment in Poland? What to look for in order not to be left without money and without an apartment? How does the process generally take place, in a nutshell if? Are there any restrictions for Russians? Also wondering if you can choose and buy an apartment remotely or do you need a personal presence?

Good afternoon, Julia. The Polish real estate market has its own nuances, just like the market of any other country. Each deal is different, no two are alike, so it is difficult to describe the complete buying process with two offers. To be left without money, as you write, is possible with any transaction, if you do it without the help of a specialist. At the same time, there are many examples of successful independent purchases, although only 5% of local residents in Poland, according to our data, decide to conduct a transaction on their own. Of course, there are restrictions for Russians, as well as for other citizens of countries outside the EU. One of them is a ban on the purchase of real estate in border areas or on the purchase of real estate related to land and commercial real estate, without obtaining permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Poland. To obtain such a permit, a foreigner must prove his connection with Poland and the reasons for the upcoming purchase. Through our agency, you can remotely select an apartment and reserve. To sign the notarial deed, you must arrive in person or send a power of attorney.
