Real Estate / What is normal expectation for furniture from Polish renters? [10]

Anyone got an opinion on what the average Polish tenant expects to find in a flat for rent re. furniture?

For a new flat that is mid-market (not luxury), aimed at long term tenants who are working.

Do they expect kitchen stuff? - cutlery, cooking utensils, corckery, household stuff, cleaning stuff - or do they just expect the actual furniture - beds, sofas, kitchen table, chairs etc.

Just trying to get other people's opinion of what the norm is at the moment.

And how would your view change if the property was let to students?

Thank you in advance

Real Estate / Managing Buy-to-Let Properties in Poland [27]

I have also been through the mortgage process several times with 2 different banks, so if you want their details, pm me.

I would be very wary of a mortgage that means you have to prove your income - a no-documentation loan - and has interest rates so low that they are paid 100% by the rent. Watch out for lowball first year rates, ballooning to very high interest rates in subsequent years; high entry charge eg. 2%-3%; and severe penalties if you sell the properyt early and pay off the loan. I'd also be watching closley to see whop the (final) lender is.

Thanks bdo, KasiaG, SeanBM and Plotin,

You have answered my questions.

Plotin, can't help you because the apartment is in Wroclaw, not Krakow. But you must be abel to find a property in Krakow easily? Are there reasons why you can't find the property you want e.g you don't want to pay an agent, or they are too expensive etc?
