Real Estate / How to get out of a Preliminary Purchase Contract? [8]

Yes I also believe that the prices will continue to fall until 2011 even.

It's not normal that the prices in Poland to be HIGHER than in Austria or Germany...

Lawyers are said to be paid by hourly rate in Poland.

But ask yourself this: in which ways does this lawyer, guarantee that the property is safe
and the contract is good, and the property
doesn't have any requests or unpaid debts to other 3rd parties?

A lawyer could check just nothing, charge you 2000 PLN saying that he did check,
and that's it.

How does the lawyer guarantee anything at all?

Real Estate / Decent property management company in krakow [13]

I looked myself on the PKG website and there is one thing that is weird:

So apart from the 3% fee on selling, they also charge an UNKNOWN number of hours
multiplied by 250-350 PLN/hour, for a lawyer to check the property documents.

The question is: in which ways does this lawyer, guarantee that the property is safe to buy, and doesn't have any requests or unpaid debts to other 3rd parties?

A lawyer could check nothing, charge you 2000 PLN, and that's it.

How does the lawyer guarantee anything at all?

Agency fees 3%

Most Polish real estate agencies have a commission charge of around 3% on the purchase of residential property. Sometimes this fee is negotiable, depending on the value and complexity of the transaction.

Other costs:

Lawyer: approximately 250-350 PLN per hour

The notary is an impartial intermediary between the buyer and the seller, and does not represent the specific interest of the buyer, apart from adhering to the laws in Poland. Therefore, many investors choose to add an extra layer of security by employing a lawyer to check contracts for them before signing. This should not be more than a few hours work.

Real Estate / Good Real Estate market in Poland [6]

Prices in Poland are too high at this moment. They will continue to go down for next 2 years, almost all real estate experts agree on this.

Nowa Huta is the former industrial residential area, VERY VERY FAR AWAY from Krakow's center

Life / Top 3 Most Important Things about which polish dentists will LIE to you bigtime [46]

Yes, it's the clinique called Dental Prestige.

And the calculations were rough estimates, and not important.
The important is what is happening, and how they make much more money
when they destroy your health and your teeth...

All those telling that their dentists are to be trusted, seem that
they were simply lucky, and for them a big smile from the dentist
was enough to hand them their money and the health
of their very own teeth.

Where else can I get true and tested and REAL referrals about
good dentists? Because maybe they exist somewhere...

Thank you

Life / cheaper international calling from Poland [30]

I tried to call the PINGO Toll free number in Poland, and it is not allowed to call that number from a public phone (yellow TP phones).

So from where do you call the toll free number?

Maybe it is written wrong on the PINGO website? Can you help?

Thanks!

Life / Top 3 Most Important Things about which polish dentists will LIE to you bigtime [46]

Dentists are the only ones who are paid to do a BAD job.

Let me detail from my large experience:

1.GOOD dentist: he sees the cavity, takes very little from the tooth and
puts a good quality filling, total price he gets: $50-$100.

2.BAD dentist 1: he sees a cavity, drills a lot, puts a bad filling that will either fall
or will make seconday caries behind it, so you will lose your tooth or
need another fillings: total price that the BAD dentist1 gets: $200-$400.

3.CRIMINAL dentist 2: he sees a cavity, tells you that he will do his best,
he breaks in the channel root room, kills your nerve ("oh it was impossible to save it")
then it needs the nerve to be extracted, to make sterile medium
and clean the channel, then you need a root channel treatment,
that is $200 every week,
CRIMINAL dentist 2 gets total: $2 000 - $3 000
just for destroying your teeth and blatantly lying to you, with a smile on his face...

Life / Top 3 Most Important Things about which polish dentists will LIE to you bigtime [46]

I had my share of experiences with the dentists, because I care a lot for my teeth,
and unfortunately I have about 5 small cavities. I am 22 years old swiss woman,
and I have very healthy teeth in almost all aspects.

However you can see a pattern emerging when everytime I go to see a new dentist.

The polish dentists will usually:

1.Suggest that ALL your previous fixes (fillings of cavities with composit) need
to be replaced, because there are secondary cavities around or behind them
(even when you can see NOTHING on radiography), even if the fillings were made
just few months ago, by other POLISH dentists ;)

2.Test your teeth in such ways (very cold substance)
so they make sure that you get a root infection
so they will need you to take out the root and have a canal treatment afterwards.
Your healthy tooth dies, but the good fact for them is that you pay for the whole
process about 3000 zl (extracting the once very healthy root, closing the channel,
canal/channel treatment every week, etc)

Canal(channel) treatments are the new way in which dentists are making fortunes
every week.

3.You should write down on paper what they say and Compare!
I didn't find YET two dentists to say the same things.
They all propose cavity feelings with composit on DIFFERENT TEETH,
they can't agree for the same teeth where I would need the fillings...

It's all about them killing or infecting more of my healthy teeth, and
making a lot of money from me in the process, lying to me about how
fantastic everything will be once I take out that "infected" root.
However the root is fine, but at any small discomfort that I feel,
they say "oh you may have a root infection, we need to take out the root"
(which means KILLING the healthy tooth!)

You may have not been aware of what wonderful lies the dentists here
are feeding you, but for your own good, let's all wake up to reality
and make a plan of how we can fix these.

So Pingo has good calling quality? I need some sort of card? Because when i try to register on Pingo, they ask for a CallingCard number and a pin number, which are required fields.

And obviously I dont have them. Also redeem coupons... Help

pingo how does it work? do you use it with local access number? i need to call mobile phones in Switzerland, not landlines !

smartvoip.com has some incredible rates!

0.01 eur and 0.03 eur per minute to most of the mobile phones worldwide, and free for many landlines worldwide. I wonder if there is any catch to it? Did anyone try it?

Life / cheaper international calling from Poland [30]

I am not resident in Poland, so I cannot take anything that requires monthly payment.

I saw at some "sklep" they told me to buy Telegrosik but I never heard about them before, so I didn't buy.

I of course look for an international calling card with good tariffs and that doesn't rip you off with a lot of hidden fees.
