Real Estate / Where can foreigners get financing in Poland? I will be purchasing a small home. [12]

Hi. Don't waste your time trying to get finance in the UK to buy a property in Poland. I moved to Wroclaw with my family 8 months ago, the stock answer at ALL UK banks is that they don't do overseas mortgages or loans secured on overseas property, No 1 reason, how do they get the property valued.

Another reason given was, should you (for whatever reason) de-fault on the mortgage or loan how do they (the bank) recover the property.

UK, Ireland / Cheap calls to the UK from Poland [30]

Get yourself a Lebara sim, order one on line for free, get a cheap phone, (e-bay, gum tree, market) PAYG, top it up and away you go. Calls from Poland to the UK, landline 1p per min, mobile about 4p per min. I live in Wroclaw and have 2, one for me to call family and friends in the UK and one I got for my Mum to call me. The only thing is that the sim has to be delivered to a UK address so get it delivered to a friend and have them post it over or collect it the next time you visit the UK. You can manage your account on line, check your spend, check your balance, auto top up etc.......Go on line and have a look.

Law / What are the legal requirements for a UK citizen to live in Poland? [7]

Thanks Harry. Is It a case of, not registered then no Pesel, no pesel then not able to work legally. It seems to be an absolute nightmare with employment law, different types of contracts, various levels of taxation depending on what type of business you may run, hire and fire at will.
