Real Estate / Is it possible for a bank to prevent you from selling your apartment at a logical price? [17]

Met a guy last night who bought an apartment in Swiss francs 5 years ago for 300,000 zloty. He now wants to sell it for 200,000 because he is in the sh1t due to the present exchange rate. However, the bank were he got the mortgage will not allow him to drop the price from 300,000 zl. So he is caught between a rock and a hard place. This might explain why the bubble is deflating so slowly. Is it possible for a bank to prevent you from selling at a logical price?

Working poor in Europe - Poland

Disclaimer: This information is made available as a service to the public but has not been edited or approved by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions. The content is the responsibility of the authors.

Statistical evidence indicates that the phenomenon of in-work poverty seems very relevant to the Polish situation. However, it is almost non-existent in the agenda of policymakers, employee or employer representatives. Poland reports among the highest rates of in-work poverty (12%) and one of the lowest employment rates (57%). Most of the working poor are 40 years or older, living in households composed of many people and with at least two, or often three, generations. Their presence in the labour market is clearly visible, but almost non-existent in the institutions of social or fiscal policy.

Each time you break the rules you risk suspension.

News / Poland Unemployment: Nobody protests, because people are leaving [30]

Poland Unemployment: Nobody protests, because people are leaving
well !! the heading says it all.#

warszawski:
The unemployment rate in Spain for University grads is 70%, so Poland does not seem to be that bad really

But if the Poles abroad were to return, it would be well above 70%. What was it in 2003?

I think that would surely be long enough for the most patient ones.

Too many Poles see it as a moral issue rather that one of social justice, ie. PIS heads

Real Estate / The current property boom in Poland is a bubble [342]

Did you ever?

Well !!!it's common in Ireland to tell jokes about how stupid Paddy Irish Man is etc,, but we are slowly losing this slave mentality. Even today in Ireland, when some Irish people come across something they think ridiculous or stupid, they very often refer to it as been "a bit Irish".

my paternal grandparents immigrated from Ireland and Scotland.

Where they wreckless with money and have you inherired that gene?
To stay within topic, the mess that has been created by a deregulated, free-market system, penetrates through overt generalization about ethnicity. Lazy Greeks, stubborn Poles. stupid. Irish. Property bubbles and the general crises etc are international.

Back on topic.

Ok, but us Irish don't like to be stereotyped negatively anymore,end of story. There is a peace process.

Would it be on topic to observe that almost all of the individual Irish people which I met out here buying property were accidental speculators, i.e. people who wanted to invest but in reality were speculating as a result of falling victim to smooth talking shysters and rip-off merchants?

very true.

Pathetic sweeping statement about an entire people. What is your origin/ethnicity? Have they a good reputation with money? Or is it just Slavs and Celts?

Back on topic.

When prices is faling rather stedy 3-7 prosent a year thats a market correction and not a buble.

its a lot more than that. On average 10% last year. In one major city it fell 6% in one month.

News / Lech Walesa is not a democrat and this statement proves it. [24]

A national committee devoted to fighting hate speech and other crimes in Poland has filed a complaint with prosecutors in Gdansk accusing Lech Walesa of promoting a "propaganda of hate against a sexual minority", after the Nobel peace prize-winner said gay people had no right to a prominent role in politics.

Walesa said in a television interview on Friday that he believed gay people had no right to sit on the front benches in parliament and, if there at all, should sit in the back "or even behind a wall".

"They have to know that they are a minority and adjust to smaller things, and not rise to the greatest heights," he told the private broadcaster TVN during a discussion of gay rights. "A minority should not impose itself on the majority."

Walesa, Poland's first democratic-era president, is a deeply conservative Roman Catholic

They are leveling off

but everyone else on the planet who isn't selling property, disagrees. It will be well into spring 2014 before there are any signs of an end to the deflating bubble. Already at Q1 2006 prices in Krakow.
