Real Estate / Poland Property...should I be scared [127]
shelley it is not true a lot of people want to stay in the UK.myself and my friends want to go back to poland after a few years because:
most of us have masters degrees but our diplomas are not recognized here.
we are in our 30s-it is too late to start studying again
we stand a great chance to find a really good job back in poland (ie managment)
we don't want to be factory workers forever.
a lot of young polish people want to stay here forever or at least for a very long time especially 16-25 years old cos they have TIME to kick- start their careers
personally i love this country it is my second home,my english friens are coming to my wedding.
everything i have now is because of the ENGLISH people
i worked with pakis and indians and they gave me NOTHING

or maybe they are so tight that they don't want to spend 600£ on a return ticket or after 24 hours of flight to australia they are too scared to get on the board again
it is only 2 hours flight and 50£ return ticket from the UK:) :) :)
i think it has to do with something else like lets say;good managment.russia has an awfull lot natural resources and in the past a lot of tourists went to siberia:) and it is still very bad country to live in.
it is possible-supermarkets are mostly owned by foreigners-we will try to sort them out:)
i am not saying that poland is a country like lets say norway but the conditions WILL get better and thats why i think people,companies Will continue buying properties and that's why the prices WILL continue to rise unless everyone sells their properties at the same time which is impossible unless some disaster struck.who is right i don'know,we will see.
i don't know lef. if think when the wages level everywhere in europe a mortgage will be the only option for poorer workers

that is right i agree
well as i said once the time has gone past we would know
of course not i am trembling already when i think about buing a house next year:)(
what funds are you talking about?years ago an average Pole could not afford even a small things like video-player or fiat 126p
that is what The people western countries do and we will have to accept it
competition is a cure for such problems-this word is ,unfortunately, still unknown by banks in poland
this affects every country,not just poland
that's not really true.the most WELL EDUCATED people who i know want come back to poland after a few years once:
they have saved enough money to buy a property
they gained some experience
they learnt english-as the level of english is not very high especially among us-people 30+
so let's the time go past:)

Location, Location, location is the key to any real estate purchases, if you buy in the right location you will never go wrong
that is right i agree
poland is a baby and is heading in an unknown direction
well as i said once the time has gone past we would know
I stress and make the following point again, It does not help the average pole when real estate goes thru the roof as it puts them out of the property market.
of course not i am trembling already when i think about buing a house next year:)(
Years ago poles would purchase a block of land and build when funds were available and were relative debt free
what funds are you talking about?years ago an average Pole could not afford even a small things like video-player or fiat 126p
to borrow money and be at the mercy of the banks
that is what The people western countries do and we will have to accept it
How much can a average worker borrow and still maintain a good lifestyle.
competition is a cure for such problems-this word is ,unfortunately, still unknown by banks in poland
Increase health and petrol prices do not help the situation.
this affects every country,not just poland
Most people who leave Poland for a considerable amount of time rarely return to live pernamently in poland
that's not really true.the most WELL EDUCATED people who i know want come back to poland after a few years once:
they have saved enough money to buy a property

Real Estate / Poland Property...should I be scared [127]
well when i spoke to my ex employer 3 years ago(indian guy who made a fortune from buing and selling properties)he said that he was going to buy a big property in krakow(tenement house)-if such a person thinks that poland is a good country to invest money i would belive him.if i remember properly at this time he already bought a few properties in dubai so he is not just a common investor.
i doubt it somehow
Polish earnings are rising and i can not see them stop rising as so many skilled people are heading west.the unemployment rate is 16% now(compared to over 20%a few years ago) and still falling.in 5 10 years time the people who work overseas will start coming back and pumping their money into our system.once there will be a good infrastructure(airports and especially highways!)poland will develop even faster.Poland and ukraine stand a very good chance to organise euro champs in 2012 if we do the necessary changes will be imposed even faster.lef i respect your point of view but let me not agree with you.i am an optimist but only when time gone past we would see who was right.my only concern is the goverment we have now but even though i think they can't screw it up

This bloke wujek whoever he is doesn't know what he is talking about, he has never been to a western type country, all he knows is what he reads in comics ie micky mouse, donald duck etc
i doubt it somehow
The key to real estate is what my property might be worth in say 5 -10 years time and if somebody will be able to buy my property in that time. On current polish earnings that is the question.

there is a good example.The polish poeple who work and live in uk have to pay the difference between taxes in uk and poland.Unfortunately the cost of living here is not taken into consideration.example?i pay for a single room 380£ a months *6 equals around 2000zloty.how much would i pay in poland?even if someone have worked in uk for lets say 5 years but owns a house in poland the difference in taxes must be paid.There are some exeptions from that but it is not clear and what decision is made depends only on a penpusher you talk to.i find it very, very unfair.our goverment had a lot of time to change the law but they did NOT do anything about that. with my earnings i would have to pay 12000zloty(2000£:) for each year spent in uk,so would have my fiancee(24000zl a year!!), but i am not going to give them even one penny.so even though i am very keen birdwatcher i would like to shoot the ducks
