UK, Ireland / Help needed - Calling all Polish persons living/working in London [60]

I carry pepper spray. I am a woman and I need to defend myself and my family. Why don't you take defense classes to give yourself some security. I don't know if you are allowed to carry pepper spray.

1st G - we have very different laws in the Uk regarding you right to carry or use anything that may be considered an offensive weapon - this includes pepper spray

defence, unfortunately, is often seen as offence in the eyes of the law - you end up with victims who have tried to protect themselves and theirs being prosecuted as a result...

Tony Martin, an english farmer who had lived in fear of people breaking into his property and ended up killing a young lad who did just that, is just one example of how british law can appear to treat the criminal better than the victim at times

Real Estate / Experience of buying a property in Poland with no estate agents? [13]

Do estate agents verify these points when they advertise a property

they can do and will often advertise properties as having specific permission granted, eg building land

however, establishing rights of ownership, permissions etc seem normally to fall under the responsibilities of your notary, who will also assist with negotiation of sales etc.

hair of the bison?

yup and a large plate of pierogi :)

Real Estate / Experience of buying a property in Poland with no estate agents? [13]

Frank - dont think i am being economic with the truth but last night's revalry is definately taking its toll

i try to avoid estate agents over here whenever possible - the property paper i use weekly distinguishes between those properties that are being sold privately and those that are via agent - prices can vary greatly

what contact i have had with agents has not really highlighted any benefits of using them - they havent helped locate properties, answer questions, assisted in negotiations etc etc. the only possible advantage i could see for jake is through assistance with language issues, although most of the ones i have had contact with havent really been able to speak english

i cant see that they are worth the fees the demand from purchaser, and vendor

back to nursing the hangover... :)

Real Estate / Experience of buying a property in Poland with no estate agents? [13]

Just wondered if anyone has experience of buying in Poland without using estate agents.

yes

What do they actually do in terms of legal searches,surveys etc.

virtually nothing

Is it worth the exhorbitant fees they charge?

no

Real Estate / Poland top overseas property hotspot [29]

Besides "the ethics" in business is a cliche too.

i really cant agree

For sure, in long term it's better to own an apartment than to rent it. But the buyer should know that the appreciation of such apartment will go not much more than the inflation rate. So if a buyer thinks he buys a property today for 100K and in 10 years he will sell it for 200K, he is dead wrong (plus, he should deduct the inflation rate from what he "gained"). And this is what some sellers suggest to the buyer.

not quite sure what you are saying here - in the short term i can take out a lengthy mortage on a property in need of renovation, renovate it, sell it and make a profit... maximum return on minimal investment...

in the longer term, more and more brits now view property as a more realistic pension investment than what the state or private plan could provide... appreciation of property can far outstrip inflation, both in the short term and long term... in much of europe... i realise things arent quite the same in america...
