Real Estate / Buying land to build on near Czestochowa [15]
Hello all!
My first post, please forgive me if this has been answered before - I have genuinely spent the last hour searching the internet to no avail.
The situation:
- I plan to buy land, to later build a house, in a small town near Czestochowa.
- So far my girlfriend and her family have been a great help in dealing with all the research.
- Now we're getting into the serious negotiations.
- A price has been agreed.
- The land and the owner check out with the Land and Mortgage agency, no issues there.
- The land is certified dzialki budowlana :)
- We have a notary already (a family member).
There are two issues:
1) The notary is stating that I will need to hire an official translator for all the legal proceedings. I'm not qualified to say otherwise, and my aforementioned searches have not proven/disproved this. However... My girlfriend (who is a 3rd year law student, studying in the UK) speaks, understands and writes perfect English - I might even say, better than I do! So I planned to use her to translate all the documents etc. This is also an unplanned cost - to be honest the cost is £500 or less more than budgeted, so I'm not that bothered - however the issue is, I just dont believe this is correct.
2) I'm being told I cannot sell the land for 10 years after purchase, as a small part of the total land is classified as 'RZK' (Farmland and place of natural beauty). Is this correct?
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
