Real Estate / How do I look for property in the Sopot area? [45]
im loath to admit it but my polish is feeble - other than day to day stuff most of my vocab is property related!
I still think bydgoszcz is worth a look at - i wanted to invest down there about a year ago but my associate felt it was too far away for him to supervise

it all depends what needs doing - if its just a basic refurb or if you need to rewire/plumb, put in central heating etc etc which will send costs up considerably
my connections to poland go back to the mid 9Os when i worked there for a couple of years, made some good friends and then found myself in a position to invest over there more recently - im not there all the time and prefer to be there when the weather isnt too cold!
Is a 1000zl a square metre a fair estimate on renovation costs?

recommendation/word of mouth mainly - my associate sorted it but it took him some time in a couple of instances. architects and interior designers were a lot easier to find through friends
gumtree normally has people offering their services but my associate felt uncomfortable using these

good old amschel... we have so much to thank him for...
It's interesting to emphasize that baron Rothschild had a big role in the defeat of Napoleon's France and that precisely on the Battle of Waterloo, got himself intensely wealthy

im not going to claim any authority on masonic emblism but i did think that it was generally accepted that the 'all-seeing-eye', or 'the eye of providence' is a masonic emblem
what, apparently, is NOT a masonic symbol is an all-seeing-eye in a pyramid although, apparently, an all-seeing-eyein a triangle is... hmmm...
is the eye on the dollar bill in a triangle or a pyramid...?
looks like a triangle hovering over the broken top of pyramid to me
but what do i know - perhaps some one could offer a plausable explanation

Its interesting to mention that during the time of president Roosevelt, circulated a one dollar note on which resides a pyramid with an all seeing eyeball, symbol of Illuminati, furthermore Illuminati symbols can be found on the big stamp of USA

im not an expert on polish property, no, but i do know the tri city market quite well... from what you have said so far i think that an asking price is on the highside, especially as i can get a new build in an equally good location for a fraction of what you are asking

oooh... dangerous way forward... next thing you know theyll want brits to drive on the wrong side of the road like the rest of europe...
but on a more serious note, yes, it would help if there was a standardisation of road signs europewide... and perhaps also of driving test standards and MOT requirements
Do you think that its time to sit down discuss a way forward and maybe standardise signs

much as i hate to disagree with you S... ;-)
there is a yellow triangle missing from the list that means you dont have priority - this is really important for me especially as poland tends not to have the road marking we have in the uk that indicate this... ive driven across intersections a number of times when i should have given way...

yup
yup
yup
yup
I've met Poles who would agree with everything you've said and are themselves amazed at how Britain has allowed itself to get to this stage in such a short space of time
yup
Others though(not just Poles) will start shouting 'racism' at you for daring to point out the obvious in the very reasonable way you have.
yup
However, until the problems are obvious and actually effect people directly then some people are just happy to be able to pay a builder tax free or enjoy the comfort their Polish boyfriend/girlfriend provides for them
yup
For me the issue isnt numbers (as every European economy needs population growth), the problem is the abbreviated timescale in which this growth has occurred. Its too much, too soon.

yup
i can understand that
yup
not because they are Polish specifically because if it were some other races who had flocked here in such huge numbers the reaction would have been much wors
fair point
Its just how quickly it has happened and London is losing all its identity
yup
We dont grumble about the Polish because their race, we grumble because right now as an Englishman i feel like a foreigner in my own country and the most spoken language is Polish. If
i can understand that
If a million people poured into Poland to exploit your economy in the space of a few years you would moan too.

so that would be 50000zl m2 which has to be one of the most expensive properties on the market - even with million dollar views
and you are saying that this will double in the next 12 months
are you polish?
