Real Estate / To buy a property in Poland - a basic starting point needed. Where is a good region to buy and why? Finances. [7]

Hi, First post, just found website. really impressed with layout and advice from people from what i have seen.

I am looking for unbiased help regarding property in Poland.

I am sure these questions have been asked many times, i have tried looking through the threads but thought i would like a concise answer for my question so hope you do not mind me starting another.

My background: Late thirty's Brit. Married to my wonderful Polish Wife. We live in the UK. We own a property with a mortgage. I am a self employed estate agent. My wife works full time.

Plan: To buy a property in Poland, Open to what or where.

Help needed: Where is a good region to buy and why.
We want to dip our toe in the water a buy a cheap little holiday place / investment / rental.
Where is best to search for properties?

Can i arrange finance in Poland or do i need to do it in UK if both which is best?

Fees: looking at other threads 5% seems to be needed for fees is that about right give or take?

What do i need to look out for?

Grateful for any advice :)
