Real Estate / Should I buy a Free Hold apartment in Kraków? [10]

I have found a lot of terms and translations even made by the sworn translators but:
użytkowanie wieczyste is translated as perpetual usufruct see the link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_usufruct.

mieszkanie własnościowe, hipoteczne - tj posiadające ksiege wieczystą (mortgage register book) it could be translated as freehold. It means that you have got a separate property (it could be a house, a flat)

mieszkanie spółdzielcze własnościowe - in my opinion can not be translated as freehold. it is not the same right to the property as mieszkanie własnościowe. It is ograniczone prawo rzeczowe. Ask your agent what happens as spoldzielnia will go bankrupt.

Real Estate / Information on suburb in Krakow - is Gorka Narodawa a good suburb to live? [3]

Avoid Ruczaj - terrible traffic. I recommend the area where you can get by tram line. The quickest way to travel in Krakow.

Real Estate / Buying a flat in Krakow; prices are still falling? [200]

I think that prices in centre of Krakow will be at the same level as recently - nothing will change. Of course I do not speak about prices like 25000 PLN per one square meter of some investments. There is still huge demand for renting the apartments so the owners are not interested in selling. There are of the centre is also relatively small so there are not so many apartments like in Podgorze District or Nowa Huta District. So as you have a fine apartment in a nice building you can ask for 8000 to even 14000 PLN per one square meter. The situation on suburbs is completely different. I think that in the nearest future we will see the prices of around 3000 PLN per one square meter of the flat located in old type apartment building constructed from blocks of cement.

Real Estate / Privacy level between the landlord and the renter in Poland [3]

Difficult question. It depends on the people. Generally as the landlord is a nice person everything can be discussed and agreed. The info can be passed by e-mail as bots sides use computers.
