Finding Poland has published an expert article by attorney Mateusz Radomyski, Managing Partner at Verdict Partners, on buying an apartment from a developer in Poland as a foreigner.
Finding Poland is an English-language portal for foreigners interested in life in Poland. This publication forms part of a collaboration aimed at providing international readers with practical information about the Polish property market and the applicable legal requirements.
The article covers the key issues buyers should check before signing an agreement and making any payments to the developer — from the property’s legal status and the developer’s financial position to reservation and development agreements and purchase financing. It also explains the differences between construction completion, apartment handover and transfer of ownership, highlighting issues to consider when dealing with delays and defects.
Particular attention is given to additional requirements and risks affecting foreign buyers, including the need to establish whether the purchase requires a permit from the Polish Ministry of the Interior and Administration.
