Real Estate / Problems of renting in the Polish market [46]

I'm 40 and was working in Loondon for 20 years renting 7-10 apartments a week..........the rental market in England is as infant as a 100 year old pensioner....

Real Estate / Interesting Article on Polish Real Estate [33]

Believe me if you want a slice of central London alot of buyers pay cash, and have no requirement of a mortgage, all the wealth and influenced by in London....that won't change recession or not. In China and the Far East, owing London property is seen as a status symbol.

The Polish market is driven by the creation of a new 'middle class', young hungry players, builders driving brand new sports cars etc etc......much the same that happened in England 20 yrs ago. People in Poland WANT, DEMAND, WILL PAY FOR IT.

Real Estate / VAT on new flats in Poland to rise to 22%? [10]

Over 120 sq mts, I think.............People will be less inclined to buy new builds.......great idea, as people will be more inclined to but old flats over 120sq mts which need refurbishment....hence beautifying neglected properties.

Real Estate / Deals available from Polish property developers [40]

Ranj....you are correct, and are obviously a true developer.........I have bought 7 places in Jelenia Gora and Karpacz...none from developers, all needing remont, all from Polish people. The properties were sold at 40-50% below market value, the cost of remont if I have been careful, is 15% of the final price sold. I intend to hold onto most of the properties and rent them to again Polish tenants at fair rents.....................

I have recently begun to concentrate on ex-community flats in old buildings.....they can buy from the community but can't afford to do the remont, but want the cash......that's where i come in, and i'm sure yourself.

As said, you can now only succeed in this climate if you buy from Poles and sell back to Poles....
