Hi OR.

My parents were both Polish too :)


That's exactly how I feel as well :)

Nice to meet someone else in the same situation :)

:D :D :D

hhhmmm this opinion is a bad as those who say 'The Polish should go home and not come to Britain' its narrow minded and bordering on imperialism.

Actually as a single girl with no deposit and several jobs just to make ends meet, yes, actually, I have to work every hour that god sends to pay my way..as for buying a house in England on my own.. hah!! fat chance..

Am I right to point out that if there is a problem with Americans buying Polish property...then perhaps the Polish people who are against the practice should be talking to those selling. I am traveling to Poland in a week. I was hesitant and not that interested when first planning. My views changed when I learned more of what the Polish people have gone through in history. I am proud to be spending my money in a country that obviously needs it. I've not yet read anything from an American who is disgruntled about Polish people buying property in Chicago...or anywhere else in USA for that matter. We haven't always been a wealthy country and we don't have a never ending source of land either. Our business in USA has several properties in the USA that we will sell to whoever is able to buy it.

I am a English man in My 20's, I am married to a Polish woman who i met in England.
However i vitisted Poland many times before i knew her, I first went to Poland when i was 17.

I own 3 propertys in Poland and own my own House in London. So i know the Polish housing market quite well... The EU has made prices rise... I was looking to Build my own house, but the building material have gone up three times more than what they where just a few years ago, so that has also pushed prices up..

Most young people in england face the same problem of being priced out of the Housing market, I am totally sure that the Polish housing market is only going to grow not drop.

I think some of the comments in this topic are very narrow mindeed.

wow your such a angry person..........I hope you find peace ahahahhaha

Anyone telling Ola or other local Poles that she is narrow minded for defending her country vs. enterprising foreigners really has no clue. Because she is completely right.

Allowing people from Europe, America or other countries to swoop in like vultures and purchase Polish land simply for the purpose of holding it as a personal investment opportunity creates artificial and needless inflation within that country.

This is a travesty to the indigenous people who have very few natural economic benefits to begin with and obviously dont have their government working on their behalf. Land is limited, no two ways about it. Let Poland's land and housing prices rise naturally based on local investment.

Here in the UK the average person can no longer afford to buy a house. I earn above average wage and I could only afford half a house - the rest my parents gave me. The prices started going up around 1998. In 1997 I was offered a house for £95,000. Now that same house is worth £400,000. This is because people are buying houses, renovating them cheaply and renting them or selling for profit. It's pure greed. A house should be purchased by people to live in and raise families. Now the same thing is going on in Poland.

The weasels in America who borrowed too much are finally getting their behinds burned, the housing meltdown is here, no money to borrow, no buyers and the fool speculators are losing money as values decrease/ No more easy gains, the party is over.

A **great** thing in my opinion.

does any govt work on its peoples behalf ??


dude, you cannot be from America.. you live here, but you cant be American
with a attitude like that.. if you are.. thats pretty sad.

that means the future of your children is over.. yeah.. your kids party is over..
so lets just announce how happy we are on a forum..

At last somebody on this forum is making sense, and every forum member should take note, the foreign invaders (sorry BubbaWoo) should pack there backs and go home.

The American property boom is bursting (as in other western countries) some property investors in Poland will be king hit. alleluia

Well being a weasel has been very profitable for me

Perhaps youre a little jealous cause you didnt make it happen?

Kolorowych snow

yeah for Polands sake he does.. anyone trying to start a business after 2001
when 9/11 happened in the US went out the door.. as richard nixon said..
read my lips.. the rich stay rich, the poor stay poor.. the middle guy.. hes
well screwed..

small businesses are fading.. and this guy is happy about it.

I agree that these people are parasites but at the same rate your people come over to England and undercut the pay rates that our unions fought hard for. Also Polish families are draining our welfare state by getting housing after hardly even paying into the system, even i can't even get housing because i have no kids and not enough points. I've just been looking at some Pole's on TV that have bought several houses over here in Newcastle to let them out. It works both ways so i'd say to you go home!

What !!!! Geordieland ?

But they canna talk proper like what we do. This is a bloody insult. Are they wearing black 'n' white ?

Divvent let them in. Ye kna what I mean, like

Well looks like the Polish have small-minded people to, there are 1.2 million Polish moved to the UK! I hope they don’t receive the same treatment as you are prepared to hand out?

Who are you talking to ?

Of course a lot of what you are saying is somewhat similar to the growth of Hitler before the war in the 1930's. I am against an expanded Europe because it is undemocratic and the British have never been asked. In Poland as a foreigner they treat you as a second class citizen but it always works for them when the 'tables are turned'. Now in Brussels England has two votes and Poland has one but they want the same rights as the U.K. Why? So the Czech Republic, Poland and Estonia can vote for something and win simply by majority and England will end up footing the bill. I have seen it all before. This is probably why Germany does not want the Poles and feels the same as me-they should work at home to build a better future for themselves.


Mind you, there was great resentment in Wales years ago with the Brits buying cheap properties and now there have been cases in Brittany, Northern France where British owned houses have been targeted. It is a problem that comes and goes all over the World. The thing is, everybody is somewhat interested in other people and people like to meet other people and then make a profit. It is when the ugly word 'competition' comes in that problems and jealousy starts. The Poles are all right when they get their own way but try and compete in Poland with them-that would be an entirely different story if you are taking their jobs away from them.

Whether anyone likes it or not, when a country opens its borders to foreign investment, prices go up, simple as that. You can hate these people, call them Capitalist pigs, but it is the way of the world. Poland is and will continue to benefit from this process, as it struggles with its growing pains.

Remember communism essentially wasted two generations of Poles and that after the horrors and the population losses from WWII. Changing into a free market and now joining the EU are yet the latest in this process of change. No one can stop this tide, so the best thing to do is find a way to adapt.

As an individual, get a good education, buy the most property you can afford, start your own business, invest in yourself. It will not be easy and many will fail, but that is life.

Stop getting angry over it but ........Get over it!!!!!

Ola, I had no intention of buying Polish land, but after that comment I'm going to do my best to buy a big plot and initiate a 'Slash and burn' policy to annoy the neighbours in the village.

Then I'm going to find out where you live and build a high security prison in the centre of your village for terrorists and murderers.

After that, I will spray the place with 'Agent Orange' and make it uninhabitable for 50 years.

Many Poles have land and houses in England and we don't seem to mind.
Grow up.

...And ambitious ? ;p

Land, property etc is being bought by Polish people who live elsewhere and are not coming back home. this is causing a major problem for the Poles that have not left Poland as the price of land and property is rising faster than the Polish salaries. Other Europeans, English too !! who want to live in Poland will bring their money into the country and help the economy. It's a pity Poland doesn't adopt the same attitude as England and let those who want to come into the country buy whatever as long as they can pay for it and they can prove they intend to stay.

Hi Ola, You're starting to experience what english youngsters have lived with for years. Life is hard and you've got to do your best. Stop being so selfish, if you could afford to do it the other way round you would. The problem faced by the british people is much worse than that. Our jobs are disapearing and our salaries are not going up because we've allowed people like you to have a chance in the world.Maybe the polish could learn by our example and maybe be a little more welcoming.My experience is that Poles have the most to fear from other Poles-distasteful but very true.English people generally conduct their business and investments with a much higher level of integrity so you have nothing to fear from us.I hope you have a good life and you get the home you want, but it wont come for free and you wont get it 'by rights'

! Up with responsible capitalism-Down with socialist peasantry !

Read: nasty Pollacks can only steal our precious english money! To hell with those Pollacks! All Pollacks are thieves!


Read: we let hordes of nasty Pollacks into our precious civilized england and now they are stealing our precious english money and our precious english jobs!

slick 77, there maybe hordes of them but i'm sure they're not coming here to be nasty. As for the other comments, I'd ask you to reconsider your viewpoint. My sons and are individuals and can only be judged on their individual characters. They were all born in poland but they do not regard this as a fact which guides their lives or behaviour.

It has been said by many poles that they would much prefer to work for an English boss than a Polish one-They feel they will be treated more fairly and with more integrity.
