Real Estate / Apartment purchase in Poland [226]
no i havent and agree that it would be great to get land / property up there... but the prices a getting steep and im wondering if there are other places - karwina ? - which will be just as nice but offer a better deal...
also looking to the east of gdansk going along the coast that way - theres a 1712 windmill on offer in a place called stegna which ive got my eye on... its currently a bar and i am wondering if i can do a similar thing to your mate with the hotel over the summer...

Real Estate / Apartment purchase in Poland [226]
ive just turned down a very tempting property in osowa - twenty mins to the city - twenty mins to the airport and sitting on the edge of the nearest lake to the tri-city...
... the package is 29OO sqm and has three/four properties on it... all in need of substandtial renovation but once finished would be absolutely beautiful buildings in a beautiful setting in a very good location... 375K zl...
obviously you could split up and sell the land, additional properties and renovate just one for yourself...
Wonder how much a residence around 1800sqm costs? Preferably near a lake...

Life / How do Polish view others [116]
i like germany greatly - i am fortunate enough to have lived there for some time and have had the pleasure of dating some beautiful german women... well... one in particular... :)
that said... i am hardpushed to see many similarities between the two countries... other than at a pretty base level... which suprises me to an extent given their proximity and the history they share...
i of course understand the animosity of many poles towards germans... i think its a pity though as both a great countries and potentially have a lot to give and share with each other...

becoming a member of the eu gives different opportunities to different nations... with these opportunities may come fortune... or hostility... its just one of these things... its got to work both ways... cake... eat it too... spring to mind...
do you really think poles are in the position to comment on opportunists going to other countries to better their lives... if so... thats a little bit rich... no...?
It will cause hostility in Poland against you, just like there is hostility against Poles in Britain

I don't think poles would not take too kind seeing people from england cashing in at there expense. I think poles prefer doing business with there own kind and not with opportunist from wealthier countries

not sure i can agree with you on this lef... for sure at some point the property market in poland will flatten out but i dont think this is going to happen for a while... i also think that different locations and markets will rise as others quieten down...
i also believe that tourism in poland - from a british perspective - is hugely underdeveloped... at present, just people dont think of poland as a tourist destination but this will change... and probably change quickly... as more and more poles come to the uk and awareness is raised...
accessibility to poland is tremendous... its probably the best served european country as far as budget airlines go... cheap... really cheap... and quick to get to... you can fly in a couple of hours... which makes it possible for a weekend... and you can buy affordable property that the locals dont want to byuy within an hours drive from major airports... so far this is almost a totally untapped market...
prices are rising very quickly in sought after locations... one of the reasons for this is that properties are valued by what the owner thinks he can get for it... so he sees that a property is selling for X zl down the road and he sticks his property on for the same price... so the smart pole who thinks he can pick something up cheaply and do it up himself has to contend with the smart pole who thinks he can get more for his property than perhaps its worth...
you are right... like everywhere else some properties sell, some dont... but its not people who are coming to settle who are buying... its developers making money and in a couple of years time it will be the holiday homers with money to buy a nice place in the mountains or the lakes...
stock exchange is not a game i play... not interested in bits and paper although there is probably money to be made... give me bricks and mortar any day of the week... investment cycle moving from real estate to shares... hmmm.. maybe... but property is the safer bet...
... got an australian friend who goes on about buying shares... said his dad has been doing it for years and knows what he is doing... not that hes made any money... lives in adeliade... should have stuck his money in property... oh well...
the laws getting relaxed concern buying land... and the houses sitting on land... germans have been buying up apartments in the tri city for ten years... and no... not every man and his dog will be packing up and moving to poland... that would be silly... but once its easy to buy a nice piece of land with a nice house on it by the lake and hour from the airport just 2 hours from london... see what im saying...

If poland was to relax its laws, you will probally find a lot of Germans buying up big in the tri city (may not be good for the local pole)
I don't think every man and his dog in england will pack his bags and move to poland because of cheap homes..sorry
