Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

Perhaps the poster was passed a misleading bit of text with that link

No. The OP was trying to be misleading. Nowhere in the artical does it mention housing. Anyone who knows anything about real estate would not get it mixed up with civil engineering, both construction but entirely different fields.

The article you link to is very interesting if you want to keep up to date with the "Civil Engineering" companies that are having problems with contracts in Poland, but, would you like to explain what that has to do with "real estate"? Railway upgrades, motorways and new roads are nothing to do with housing This has already been pointed out in a previous thread.

Love / Polish mother, possible UK father - child law Poland. [35]

have never wanted kids

im still not looking forward to being a dad - far from it ... apart from anything , im getting on a bit

I was just like you seven years ago. I did not want responsibilities. I had what I thought was a casual affair and my partner got pregnant. I was 53 and she new that I did not want children, but, s**t happens. I never thought of a DNA test, I could even pinpoint when the child was conceived. After the initial shock, I prepared to become a father. I bought a house with a big garden and got everything ready for the arrival. I thought I had had a good life, I was successful in business, had travelled extensively and had everything that I wanted.

Nothing,but nothing has given me as much joy as my daughter, every day I watch her grow gives me so much pleasure. By all means get the DNA test done, but, if this child is yours then you would be an idiot not to be a part of the child's life and you will regret it for the rest of your days.

Milky, this will probably spoil your Christmas:-

I know how sad you were when the first scheme finished, but I did warn you the the government would have to do something to replace it.

News / Lech Walesa is not a democrat and this statement proves it. [24]

I'm just keeping up to date. The article is in yesterday's guardian

And you actually believe that socialist rag? Apart from North Korea (Where they are starving) nobody believes in communism any more and if you are still waiting for your free apartment

in the town centre, you are going to be sadly disappointed. Its dictatorships or nothing now, as the EU is showing us so well.

Law / Child Alimony in Poland - 1700 PLN? [74]

I read newspapers, not the Guardian.

I totally agree with you that extradition is ridiculous for trivial offenses, but as you will see from recent cases, the Police being sued for the Hillborough disaster, the Tchenguiz brothers who are suing the SFO for 100 million, it could open a can of worms if the UK government ( or the ECHR) now decide that past deportations were unfair You have seen evidence of how the British and European judges have ruled before.

Sat Nav is ok. Put in the name of destination and guidance instructions are spoken in English, at least my Tom Tom has that function.

UK, Ireland / First proper "Polish" School in the UK - The Next Stage of Ghettoisation [283]

Now if you would care to ask all the media, TV programme makers, property developers, advertisers, football club promoters, insurance companies, mortgage brokers, educators and everyone else who will slit their grandmothers throat for more profit that question ....you would be patted on the head and laughed out the door.
You just get worse.

You wrote the following:-

"I am also extremely good looking. I don't dislike people just because of their nationality."

How many people on the forum do you think believe it. Not everyone is as gullible as you.

Nobody forces anybody to believe propaganda. If you are making a serious investment or change to your life then you do your homework and get as much information as you from whatever sources. In 1997, only 52% bothered to vote, Blair won with 26%. Half the voting population never cared enough to use their right to determine their future but they have all had opinions on it since.

I have only ever personally ever met one person who voted to join what was then the Common Market, everyone now says they all voted"No". Funny old world.

When Labour got in in 1997 they did so on the back of their reputation for being the party of the working people.

And there was me thinking that they got in on their reputation for making the country bankrupt and being a paradise for every lazy shirker that thought any one with money, owed them a living. Socialism, having shares in nothing.

HH is writing about issues that infiltrate in his life and the only way to release some anger without getting locked up is by venting his frustrations on a forum where no one will get hurt.

Surely his time would have been spent more productively at the ballot box. The British have only got what they voted for.

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

It seems like short term leases are going to be the thing from now on. Perhaps thats why the Berliners are unhappy about the situation. If prices are rising as per the artical, Der Spiegel mentions 14% in Dresden, would you say that was abnormal?

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

There is a particular glitch in the system that allows certain rents to rise relatively sharply, relatively suddenly, and this then kick-starts a feedback cycle within the regulations that causes rents to inflate in the city as a whole.

This rule only applies to rental contracts once they exist. There is no rule governing new rental contracts. That means that when someone leaves their apartment and a new tenant moves in, the landlord can ask however much he wants for that apartment, regardless of the Mietspiegel, as long as the tenant is willing to pay it.

So what is the length of the average rental contract? 1 year?

I wonder why Der Spiegel keeps lying every day, with rents "capped", how is this possible?

"The real estate boom is also beginning to spread to rental apartments. In the eastern city of Dresden, rents have gone up by almost 14 percent in only 12 months. This is how the inflation in asset prices ultimately affects the broader population. And the poor end up paying for the anxiety of the rich."

I always thought it was a credible newspaper, still I suppose you know what you are talking about.

Rents are capped in Berlin so there is no free market.

Perhaps you had better tell the newspaper not to print lies. If you read the artical it "states" that rents have been rising at 4% a year, its one of the reasons property in Berlin has become attractive.

It seems that a lot of people are unsure about the Euro.

well, the speed of the deflation is determined by the economic conditions.

This may affect your calculations about property prices in Poland. Many people looking to Central Europe as a stable, safe haven from the troubles in the Southern countries.

I remember people on the forum using Berlin as an example of why Poland was supposedly in a property bubble.

Work / Minimum basic salary in Poland [96]

It's 2012 Milky, not 2009.

What.s a little thing like three years when you have been waiting four, for house prices to collapse by 60%.

Hardly. My friend has just rented a one bedroom apartment in the centre of Poznan for just over 1000zl a month.

Met someone recently who moved to Poland, nicely positioned flat, 48m2, 750 zloty per month inclusive and they got work immediately, so it is possible.

UK, Ireland / Unemployed Poles in Ireland : a crash course in milking the system [323]

The obvious truth in the middle was then left to right wing rags like the Daily Mail,sad.

Who do you blame now Milky? the left failed you, the right are now the left, nobody seems to want to sell you a flat at a price you think is fair, the only thing left to do is whinge on here. Not much to look forward to in 2013 is there. Never mind, Christmas is coming.
