Real Estate / Poland - getting a tenant out (post-lease) [7]

That could cause more complications , its better from a legal point of view to claim your own property back , ie he stepped out on the pavement saying he was leaving and I went into my house and closed the door behind me.

Has anyone had any experience with a problem such as this?

If no contract is in place then knock on the door, when he opens it grab him by the collar and throw him out, lock the door behind you and call the police, possession is 9/10ths of the law, put his stuff out of the window, make sure you have proof of ownership on you.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [679]

You need to spray spuds to prevent blight the disease

I don't spray I still get crops , my grandparents didn't have spray, if you have aphids or other creepy crawlies make up a solution of soap shavings and water then spray with that .

I get crops with no spray or chemical fertiliser not always pretty or abundant but its ok and I know its all organic.

Hey Reb I know someone here with plenty of Angus he don't do too well, we have a farm back in the UK full of them, they get boring after a while.

How did you cope with that problem?

I never plant crops in the same place, I have a load of land so I choose a new place each year, its going to be years and years before I plant where I started.

Logic is that if disease or bugs were introduced in last tears planting area it wont be used for 20 years so things will die out , well that's my logic, I think they call it crop rotation , I use zero chemicals and just limewash the bottom of the fruit and apple trees.

How do you do it?

All I do is put old sacks of spuds out in the sun so they start sprouting , then quarter the spuds lefing one or two sprouts on each.

then I goto a patch of ground slice a slot in the earth and pop the quartered spud in, the I wait til they have flowered / and or fallen back and dig em out using a fork.

I have used the randomly throw them around a grassy area method in the past , it worked but it was hard to find them later amongst the tall grass.

You can be scientific digging properly and banking the spuds up as they grow (stop them being green) but I cannever be arsed to work that hard.

If non of the above works just buy em off the farmer next door.

You might want to visit before you settle on living in Krakow.

Yeah Polish cities are a pollution nightmare in the winter, it can also be bad in the valley where I live in the countryside.

For that reason alone I would never live in a Polish city in winter., too many plastic bottles in the furnace, dolno and cyanide don't get on.

I love Irish people.

Oh don't start me on that, if I was with an Irish girl I would be living near Waterford on our farm breeding horses and going to the races.

Every March we would fly over to Cheltenham in the helicopter to watch our horse win.

Any other advise

It's hard to say, me I live in the country and you will be in the city so hard to make comparisons, but I will say if you do move all of us here will help answer your questions, sorry that we appears a bit back biting its years of Polish Forum cabin fever, we do love one another and do try and help others where we can. glad you have a house deposit , it will make a difference.

prevents the place from turning into a complete banana republic.

Sorry Atch , you just don't get the Polish People, if you did you would know that we would never allow this to happen, Poland's suffering has always been a consequence of powerful external forces.

Atch if anything threatened Poland and its values an army willing to fight to the death would be born the very next day, of this I have no doubt.

Sorry about Mr Atch that was terrible , sadly this does happen in Poland, sometimes people should not be in certain jobs.

It's tawdry and embarrassing but not a real challenge to democracy (at least not yet).

Your post was very eloquent and exactly what I would have written if I had a better education.

But I must say my wife and I love Poland very much and there is no where else on this earth that we would rather be now.

We have really great friends and contacts , there is nothing that they cannot sort out for us sometimes at the speed of light.

right wing authoritarian government.

Yeah there is a law that you need to wear leather shorts and salute a swastika flag which is on every street corner.

Atch I'm amazed you dropped this right wing garbage into your answer.

Politicians in Poland are no different to the British German of French, all of them are idiots. I am no fan of Polish politics full stop they are just as dumb as the British ones.

The fact is that you will not find Polish politics effecting your daily life here, the latest government started childcare 500 zl for a kid each month.

But seriously as Atch mentioned its no good trying to live here on a shoestring, only a fool would move here from wealthy Britain .

Best you have the cash to buy a house here, you can get a good one for £50,000, I paid £27000 for a farm and over a hectare of land, If you own your home here you 14000zl will take you a long way.

If you are starting out in life and do not have capital wealth behind you DO NOT move from Britain to Poland, why do you think so many Poles went to the UK to earn their fortunes, do not allow your partner to drag you here for "family reasons" you will find most Polish families a nightmare (mine were)

This is my opinion based on living here as a citizen for six years with my English wife.

Again do not come here if you are skint as you will find yourself being economically and financially trapped here forever especially if you have a sprog or two .

Once you get over the initial shock and get used to the way things work here you will find it to be one of the greatest and safest places to live,

14000zl after tax you will live like a king, I find it really hard to spend more than 5000zl a month on the basics .

Real Estate / Building a modern house in Poland? [6]

To be honest most peoples idea of modern here in Poland is a blacha dacha and styropienn covered with shatka and ttynk.

Translated to english cheap tin roofs and polystyrene coverd in mesh and render, proper nasty build zero quality and style but this is the locals dream. yuk yuk yuk., each to their own heh , plus some of these monsters have been thirty years in the building and still not finished.
