Real Estate / Apartment purchase in Poland [226]

Question for those of you who have purchased property in Poland.
My friend is hoping to buy an apartment in Poland. He has done all his homework, but now comes the issue of how to pay for the property.

He has cash, how does he arrange to get this transfered over into Polish Zloty, and where can he get the best rate???
Any suggestions??

Thanks Frank. Any idea what a notary is in Polish, so maybe i can try and find one now for my friend so he can maybe meet up with them while he is in Poland.

So far, my friend has managed to arrange an appointment with an English speking estate agent, but he also has the chance to buy a 2 bed flat in Olsztyn, for a bit more than his budget will stretch to. if he does go for this how should he proceed? Where does he find an English speaking notary? How much do they charge? Is it possible to find an agent to manage the property/collect rent?

Any info would be great?
