I was wondering if you can answer a question for me. We have found a house that is virtually finished, though we’re told that ‘on paper’ it is still being built. When we declare it as complete are there any taxes or fees to be paid? Hope you can help. Phil I read your blog with great interest, as I’m looking for a house in Poland myself.

I was wondering if you can answer a question for me.

We have found a house that is virtually finished, though we’re told that ‘on paper’ it is still being built. When we declare it as complete are there any taxes or fees to be paid?

Hope you can help.

I live in Zakopane for some of the year and am getting married there this summer. Currently trying to convert a large sum of money to PLN but what with the UK elections the rates are very variable. I called up the brokers you suggested but your guy has now moved on. Has he moved to another broker? Would you still recommend the old broker? Thanks, Adam Nice website.

Before I ask my question(s) I will tell about myself, I have been married to a Polish girl for three now, (going to be a daddy in few weeks) , Have Temporary Residence Card for two years which is expiring in September, which I will get it renewed soon again for a new Temporary Residence Card. Would you be kind enough to tell me: 1) How much time it takes to get a Permit to settle (after applying). Can you travel abroad out of EU once you have applied for the same? And after getting Permit to settle and once you declare (your intention)/apply for citizenship, 2) How much time is taken in the decision (generally)? Thanking you in advance, Best regards, Al Hello,

Am 56, semi-retired, also live between Krakow and Zakopane (just outside Bochnia actually), - girlfriend still abroad I'm afraid - and plan to do some 'odd-jobbing' as a translator or something along those lines. Contact me if needs be. Hi, am interested in being in touch with you guys.

(yep we are retired 52 and 49) and want some peace and quiet in the country. We are both accomplished administrators and my wife has experience of the bureaucracy, so we have had everything translated in advance, have bought LHD vehicles (which are very capable off road - Unimog and Steyr Pinzgauer) I was a soldier for 15 years and have lived in Germany for 7 years in the past, have no reason to be homesick for this Decadent, ungoverned slime pit, (If you haven,t lived in suburban UK lately you won,t know that law and order is breaking down year by year and if we had stayed, 15 years down the line this house would have had to become a fortress) We are so grateful for this site, because it doesn,t matter how well sewn up you think you have everything, there is always something you missed. Thank you once again.
