Real Estate / Banks in Poland selling fewer mortgages in 2011, down 49% [285]

When working out how much can be borrowed the gross figure is used not net, so using the average wage of 3600 gross x 2 x 12 = 86,400. 3 x salary = 259,200pln, this is not a unrealistic figure for an apartment just outside of Krakow centre for example. In UK, average salary roughly £25k x 2 = £50k, therefore £150,000 again depending on where you live it is possible to buy a half decent starter property. It is all about expectations, oh and actually having a job of course, earning an average wage and actually being able to afford the 10% deposit!!

Law / Opening a Polish Bank Account by a foreigner in Poland. Recommendations. [299]

hi,im from uk and i opened an account with wbk last year as i travel alot to krakow, you do need a address in poland for them to send statements and anything to do with your account. they do need your passport details aswell and they also charge monthly for your account its not much though. you can arrange to pick up your bank card from the bank itself i did no problems.i have a online account with wbk and its in english which helps.... good luck

Travel / Fish and Chips in Warsaw [53]

A Big Mac meal is about £3.80 and at my local chippy a large cod and chips would be about £5.70. Decent fish and chips will always be more expensive than Mcdonalds.

Real Estate / Yearly Property Tax - Krakow [8]

Thanks, guess I will just have to wait until I get a bill/letter/chaser, if it's anything like trying to pay for my electric it could take months, just hope it is still connected when I go back at the end of the month or I will be slightly chilly!!!!

Merged thread:
