Real Estate / Building in Poland, house builders quote prices with foundations? [8]

Hi all,

Have not posted for a while but see the place has not changed much. Looking for some helpful advice with regard to building in Poland 100m2 - 150 m2. My partner and I are considering building in Poland in the south just outside of Lublin. We have land to build on which has planning consent for a single house, and after looking at the land and speaking with people in the area, there is already mains gas, electric and waste on site. Have been looking at plans and costs for building which seem reasonable for the size of property we are considering. I have a few questions which I hope some people here might be able to help with or point me in the direction of where I can source some help.

Where house builders quote prices does this typically include the foundations, and assume flat ground? (I know this is a vague question)
The term "Stan surowy zamkniety " does this basically mean "first fit" or is it just a shell, with windows/doors and the mains supply into the house for gas, water and electricity?

Are there any legal implication for someone in the UK building and owning a house in Poland?

What are the other basic pitfalls, people tebnd to forget about when planning this? We are going into this with our eyes open and we are purely at the planning stage at the moment although we could potentially start next spring building but with a timeframe of around 2 years for completion.

Thanks in advance

UK, Ireland / over paid tax benefits in england uk? [9]

OK, In that case it would depend on how much it was for In my opinion, but delphiandomine might know more on this than I do.

If it is from HMRC then they normally will chase people in a different country, however if benefit agency they are so useless I would be surprised but again will depend if it is couple of hundred £ or thousands....

This is all my view point.

Love / How would Polish people react to a forginer in Poland? [36]

On the general theme my experience is that I alwayss get stared at when in Poland although this imainly down the south east Lublin. Whenever I walk about and speak English with my partner we just get stared at which is quite funny. When I am on my own and someone tries to speak to my they get very embarressed when aplogise and say I am Scottish and can't speak Polish.

USA, Canada / What do people in Poland think about American cars? [44]

Not sure what Polish people think of American cars, but I was recently in america and rented a few of them. My opinion is they look good but ae terrible in every way. For instance got Chevy, nice car but the gear box was terrible, you put your foot down wait half an hour then the car just red lines all the way. Also got a Dodge Charger, nice looking but very cheap inside. To get anything to work you have have to hit it with a hammer!!

Love / Polish Pet Names For Girls. [156]

OK probably a stupid question here I know of most of the above but why in the translations above are they all little? I thought there was another word in front to make it little, like moja?

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

I am Scottish and I have been with my Polish Gfriend for about a year now. What attracted me to her well, you have never seen her obviously!! For me I was not attracted to her because she was Polish more so I would say we got on with each other well and could have a laugh. To be fair if she was any other nationality it would not have made a difference to me.

So far all going well it has to be said been over to Poland a couple of times and have really enjoyed, may even move out there in a couple of years. As for parents all good there to they are really nice and welcoming everytime I have been over, yes the language barrier is a bit strange but nothing that can not be over come.

In general as has been said above this was always going to happen with the number of Polish in Scotland now that relationships will form. I think in some ways Scots and Poles are quite similiar hence why they get on!!!

Genealogy / Meaning of "Janek" [26]

As far as I am aware it means Jan but a nice way of saying the name, can be used for like parent to child but can be used in other contexts. I am sure someone else will confirm for sure, I think it is like nice Jan..... I use the same sort of thing with my Gfriends name, but her friends also call her it from time to time.

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

Off course this is the first time this has happened in Paisley? You must be having a laugh in the 80s this was nearly a weekly thing, jewller, post office, bank. It was probably 1 Eastern European and couple of weedgies!! noimmigration, your from Glasgow that means it must have been you, after all surely you are the most likely!!! (Is that not your logic on things?)

Look this stuff happens all the time and for many years, you can not blame it on immigration!!!!
