good luck with moving to Poland :)

Gotta join the thread, seems like having the same issue

Is that really the prices of houses in Wrocław? 200m2 with virtually no land?

No, take a look at domy.pl this will give you a better idea.

Looks like the owner took a mortgage in CHF and that's the minimum price that the bank will allow the sale for.

Some pricing is absurb, but the general rule is a Pole wants twice the market price if selling, but half the market price if buying! Commercial is a bit better pricing is a bit more regular and just get the feeling units let to banks and retailers might be a bit cheaper to buy and give even better yields than before. Thank you PIS ;)

I am British , too and I have the same question :) To buy any property at GB is not affordable for my family now, I am thinking over buying a house somewhere in the Eastern Europe or even Asia ( Thailand, via phuket9.com , the fantastic climate and low prices are very attractive ). The only thing which prevents me from making a decision is a job.. I still have a good job at Manchester, can't find any better offers outta GB...

True, hard to find a better job than in the UK, afterall 3 million Poles can't be wrong! But you can get much better returns on property investments here in Poland. You can get yields well north of 6% in prime locations in the big cities (you can't get even half of that in London), 10% in secondary cities. Smaller commerical units in big cities can yield even more if they are let to a financial institution or supermarket-retail chain, where you are shielded by longterm contracts of 10 years. These units tend to be small with minimal service costs, which make for great investments for those looking for yield. Interest rates are low and will only go lower in Poland this year, so will more than cancel out any marginal increase on loan margins from the bank tax.

Hello,
Would someone know what "system TBS" is, when looking to buy an apartment?

Also could someone tell me, when looking to buy a house but a property that will be 100% mine, what should I look for ? As I can find relatively cheap properties but I am not sure if its to buy the 100% of it etc.

Thank you.

Forget TBS if you want to own your own - you pay a deposit but still pay rent. There are other options such as leasehold where you own the building, flat or unit, but someone else (usually the local council) owns the land and you pay about 3% of the value of the land each year (uzytkowe wieczyste). You may or may not be able to buy out this leasehold for a reduced percentage if you hold the property for 5 years. Regarding homes and flats, freehold is your best bet, they aren't that expensive really and its then yours to do with what you please.
