im not Polish - can i buy a house in poland ?

hi all,

im not polish, :-) im from dubai , and want to buy a house or flat in poland. can i do that and put it on my name ?

No you have to be polish to buy polish land............

if you will find polish co-operator ypu can buy it.

yes you can. of course you can. get in touch with local estate agents. i dont know any off hand but it wont be that difficult.

Don't be so sure.

well i am very sure, but you can tell me why i can't then? I'm listening (well, reading)

i don't see why poland wouldn't want the extra income of property tax :)

If you didn't notice the guy, who asked is from UAE...

Buy as much as you possibly can...good luck to you!!

Any foreigner can buy an apartment in Poland. They cannot buy houses without a permit (although a permit may be possible) or land until 2009.

Things will become interesting in 2009. Wait until all those Germans buy up Poland and succeed in doing what they failed through invasion.

I noticed. its not going prevent anyone with money or time (or both)

My mother was thinking of buying property in poland and a polish emploee of ours wants her to buy his property and thats the first iv heard about foreigners not being able to do so but i'd like to hear more about this if its true.

Daf... non EUers need a special permission to buy any property in Poland and unless he has some serious reason that may be difficult.

I am in Warsaw .I can help You. please get in touch ASAP

You cannot buy land (with or without property) unless you have a connection with Poland, like a job here, or family, or a Polish spouse (husband/wife). This is for eu citizens, and i'm sure the same for the rest of the world, if not even more restricted.

appartment is easier

For EU nationals, there are no restrictions on the purchase of flats/apartments, single homes, or single plots of land with planning permission. Permits are however required to purchase large tracts of land, or agricultural/forestry land.

Flats Poland can help You!

I think Bubba would be his help in here.

Why do you want to buy in Poland? ... I agree, there should be a reason. Are you looking to live, work and stay in here?... You want to be Polish?....if so, then come ahead... buy!...buy a nice one, stay happy!...

If just for making money... then... I wonder :)

i know someone who will help to buy a flat in tricity...

I heard some years ago about a law that foreigners could buy a home in Poland.
But the restriction was that you could only buy one. I think from memory I was also told that you had to plan to live there too.
Can anyone conform if is or was true?
I personally could afford to migrate to Poland but would if I could. That is to say I would probably choose to rent first for a year see what it's like.
I have heard that Gdansk, Gdinia & Sopot are good place to live and have a good social life.

Hi ! I have a great house for sale - in Poland - it is in Gdansk. As sayno wrote Gdansk is a great place to live, but unfortunatelly I have to sale the house - if you want to see the house go to www_willaalicja.pl

Any citizen of the European Economic Area can by land or houses in Poland. Some restrictions exist concerning farmland and forestry, however the legality of those restrictions is ropey to say the least (a deal eith the EU commission, NOT the EU parliament), and could easily be challenged in the European Court by anyone with enough money. And in any case, the farmland restriction run out soon.

The rule about bying only one house relates only to non-EU foreigners who are permanent residents here. If you are not a permanent resident, or have EU citizenship, no such restrictions apply.

Don't be tempted to by farmland with a Polish co-owner, people (mostly from Germany) have been ripped of that way.

I also believe this is correct. Before Poland joined the Eu in 2004 there were many restrictions on foreigners buying land, houses or even apartments.

Those restrictions have generally been lifted and especially so for the EU members.

It is now only farming land - agricultural land that requires a Polish partner

I think EU citizens can buy property in Poland

Hi Dubai Charming,

I am told by a reliable Polish Lawyer that as a NON EU citizen you CAN buy any apartment in Poland of your choice without restriction - even any quantity.

When it come to Houses however, there are rules for non EU buyers and those rules mean that you cannot buy Land or Houses if you intend to live there without special permission. On the other hand you CAN buy a house with it's land IF you state clearly that your purchase is for 'Business Activities'

yes you can buy flats in Poland. Exclusive properties are expected to keep increasing in value making them a good investment for years to come, or so say the experts..

There is some legal possibilietes to avoid permit obligations. With more valued properties it can be profitable- for details just e-mail me
