Real Estate / Septic systems in Poland [11]

Merged: The old Szambo question - Septic tank or Cess pit?

I'm buying a property without either and looking to install one or the other and have several questions which I hope members can help me out with;

What are the installation costs of the different systems (2-3 person small house in Woj.Lublin near Chelm)?

How much much does it cost to pump out a cess-pit?

Can anyone recommend a builder in the area who would be able to undertake the work?

Your help is much appreciated

History / An American studying medicine in the PRL 1978-1985: my story [142]

What an interesting thread!

My first visit to Poland was in 1989, just in time to witness the last gasps of the PRL. I remember hanging around the Poczta Główna in Lublin waiting for a call home to be put through, nipping outside for a speedy Extra Mocne, anxious not to miss my summons to one of the numbered booths.

Pewex was just round the corner, an uneasy Aladdin's cave, Zytnia at 70 cents and a squashy pack of Malboro 17!

Fun times......

Law / Bank Charges for incoming funds [4]

I'm looking to purchase PLN in the UK then transfer them by swift to my PKO BP current account. Am I right in thinking this bank will charge for incoming funds?

Also can anyone recommend a good currency exchange outfit in the UK? Tried several and they all seemed much of a muchness.

Thanks

Good Point, though I find it hard to believe PKO would offer a half decent exchange rate

I'd be interested to know how people transfer funds from UK to Poland- Any recommendations/avoids?

Real Estate / Księga Wieczysta (no entry) [16]

I'm buying a house with land without an entry in the Księga Wieczysta. The seller was in the process if making the registration then stopped because she was told it wasn't necessary. As a buyer am I right in insisting on it being made?

It seems that no entry has ever been made into the KW relating to the current owners status.

Not really sure which documents are involved ,my solicitor is looking into them, the "Wypis Z Rejestru Gruntów" is in the sellers name.

Hi Krakus

I just mentioned the Rejestr Gruntów because that's one of the documents I've actually seen.

Are you saying it's ok to by a property without a KW Nr?

Well Delphiandomine,

I 've bought property in the UK. and now want to buy a place in Poland. You're dead right I don't know which documents I need, that's why after taking recommendations I took on a local solicitor, the problem I'm now facing is that the advice she has given the seller, ie that she doesn't need to obtain a KW Nr, is in conflict with friends' advice and my own judgement. I am hoping members on here with some experience in this field can shed some light on this issue.

Thanks CMS, did you encounter and problems with that purchase? Did you register the property yourself, if so were there any difficulties?

I'm not looking for professional advice on here, just experiences from an ex-pat perspective.
