My mother was thinking of buying property in poland and a polish emploee of ours wants her to buy his property and thats the first iv heard about foreigners not being able to do so but i'd like to hear more about this if its true.
You cannot buy land (with or without property) unless you have a connection with Poland, like a job here, or family, or a Polish spouse (husband/wife). This is for eu citizens, and i'm sure the same for the rest of the world, if not even more restricted.
For EU nationals, there are no restrictions on the purchase of flats/apartments, single homes, or single plots of land with planning permission. Permits are however required to purchase large tracts of land, or agricultural/forestry land.
Why do you want to buy in Poland? ... I agree, there should be a reason. Are you looking to live, work and stay in here?... You want to be Polish?....if so, then come ahead... buy!...buy a nice one, stay happy!...
I heard some years ago about a law that foreigners could buy a home in Poland. But the restriction was that you could only buy one. I think from memory I was also told that you had to plan to live there too.
Can anyone conform if is or was true? I personally could afford to migrate to Poland but would if I could. That is to say I would probably choose to rent first for a year see what it's like.
I have heard that Gdansk, Gdinia & Sopot are good place to live and have a good social life. And Music festival.
Hi ! I have a great house for sale - in Poland - it is in Gdansk. As sayno wrote Gdansk is a great place to live, but unfortunatelly I have to sale the house - if you want to see the house go to www_willaalicja.pl
Any citizen of the European Economic Area can by land or houses in Poland. Some restrictions exist concerning farmland and forestry, however the legality of those restrictions is ropey to say the least (a deal eith the EU commission, NOT the EU parliament), and could easily be challenged in the European Court by anyone with enough money. And in any case, the farmland restriction run out soon.
The rule about buying only one house relates only to non-EU foreigners who are permanent residents here. If you are not a permanent resident, or have EU citizenship, no such restrictions apply.
Don't be tempted to by farmland with a Polish co-owner, people (mostly from Germany) have been ripped of that way.
I am told by a reliable Polish Lawyer that as a NON EU citizen you CAN buy any apartment in Poland of your choice without restriction - even any quantity.
When it come to Houses however, there are rules for non EU buyers and those rules mean that you cannot buy Land or Houses if you intend to live there without special permission. On the other hand you CAN buy a house with it's land IF you state clearly that your purchase is for 'Business Activities'
