Property-deal-in-Poland-fail-ripped off [9]
yes of course, hundred of off plan property buyers were screwed by mafia developers from 2004 up until now ( have you never heard of Leopard SA and Bud Mar Investment in Krakow?) they got the buyers money and never built the promised flats or tremendously increased the prices which were supposed to be warranteed to buyers)
The Polish goverment is not protecting consumers at all. Polish Justice is a joke when it should defend victims and not predators like developers.
it means endless legal fights and those who do not have money to get lawyers to defend their rights lost and are loosing everything without beeing able to do anything.
Typically the developers show beautiful layout of the Real estate projects and great web site, they make you pay intallments with the signature of a notary act which is crap but looks offical and buyers think they are protected but then the developer is not obliged to build anything really or will take ages to complete the project and will not agree to sign the final act of purchase unless the clients pay extra money!
I have Polish friends who bought a house with Bud Mar Investment paid 700 000 zl in Myslenice in 2007 , all they got was 4 walls on the ground!
She and her husband fought in court but gave up and agreed to pay extra money because Polish justice did not defend them.
So it is important to avoid buying off plan property in Poland until there are laws preventing dishonest developers to abuse clients.
I believe things will improve but i don't know when, never heard of a developer who was put in jail for years and had to pay back the abused clients.
The Jersey Polish murderer should have turned his anger against his developer instead of killing his whole family.
So yes, how can Polish Justice allow that people can loose all their money savings to Polish mafia developers?
