Substantial amount of agricultural land in Poland - what to do with it

I wonder if you can help. My Father, who now lives in UK has a substantial amount of Agri. land in Poland. He has no idea of it's value. He wishes to sell the land.

Where does he start?

He will, I guess, need to check the Land Registry first - how can he do that? And then need to get a valuation.

Thank you.

What region is it? Which part of Poland (near which city)?

Thanks for the reply.

60 miles from Warsaw
the district is

zhchlin/pacyna

Near Cutno

the village where the land is: Podatkowek.

Does this make any sense?

So it's about 100 KM? It's not so near Warsaw then; I guess it's on the east from Warsaw. The value may depend if it's possible to build there and the kind of neighborhood it is. If it's just a farmer land it's not going to be that expensive as a building place (or at least near a shopping center or highway).

Guess I need to do some work on this.

I have asked him to speak to a niece of his there and first of all check the Land registry.

Sorry, I amended the original entry where I put NEAR but you were too fast for me and read the incorrect entry.

Farming land used to be very cheap, now It isn't anymore, but still not expensive by western standards - average is something like 10 thousand PLN for ha, but like hello said everything depends on exact location, status of this land (only farming or also for construction) and its quality (which class) so It could be less but also much much more.

Thank you so much for the info. More than I expected. Although he is 84 and still works 3 days a week (when he is needed) he has Alzheimer's and wants to ensure Mum's future is as comfortable as possible.

land value varies tremendously depending on location, whether there is an ashfalt road, water, gas, electricity, whether it is agricultural land only, whether it can be used for recreational purposes or whether it can be built on... applying [and getting] permission to build etc will add value but takes time...

an article in one of the big papers last week announced that now was the time to get your holiday house before the prices sky rocketed... people are grabbing land within an hour or so driving distance from larger cities to build holiday homes on...

Everything's changing over there - hope the Polish people prosper because of it.

Thanks for the help - greatly appreciated -- the land is obviously worth something and will help him.

Anyone know of anyone who can help with Land Registry searches?

I have relatives near Warsaw who may be able to help Dad but we may need a point in the right direction.

Try Mamdom.com. They're in the business and may be can point you in the right direction. I found them because I was looking to buy a farm. Problem is we are U.S. citizens (I'm looking into my Polish ancestry to may be get back to Poland) I'd be interested in the land myself but being a foreigner we are only allowed 5000 Square meters for residential purposes? Farm being a business though.....och! Anyway ask them. It can't hurt to ask.

Thank you. I have tried them but received no reply.

I have googled the land on google earth and to the South of his village the land looks quite industrial/commercial.

It's hard going - his nephew, in Poland, has now agreed to make some enquiries. I have been searching for Solicitors near there and am waiting for replies from various E enquiries.

How much land? Any buildings? what kind? Any of it forested, and if so how much? river/lake/pond? Do you know about access? (what roads to and on the property) Land grade? (quality)

Do let me know, I have someone in my family looking for land (to live on and use, not an agricultural moloch or development agency!)

I don't know Pacyna (nor Podatkówek - spelling?), but Żychlin is almost exactly 100 km west of Warsaw (Kutno is about 120km) and it lies at the train line Moscow-Warsaw-Poznań-Berlin, also not far from the road Warsaw-Poznań (I can't call it motorway, because it's just one lane in each direction, but still it was the main road on that route for decades), but the new highway goes a different way, I think, more to the south (it goes close to Łódź and then back north-east in the Warsaw direction)

Hi. How many hectares is the land? are there any farm buildings with it?
