Key facts
- Read the register free of charge at ekw.ms.gov.pl using its number (e.g. WR1K/00012345/6).
- Section II: the seller must own all shares.
- Sections III and IV: easements, claims, enforcement, mortgages.
- A notice (wzmianka) means a pending application — always ask what it concerns.
Step 1. Get the register number
The seller provides it or it's in the listing. Format: court code (WR1K for Wrocław), number, check digit.
Step 2. Read the sections in order
- I-O — do the address and area match the listing?
- I-Sp — share of the land and common parts.
- II — owner, basis of acquisition, all co-owners.
- III — easements, life tenancy, claims, bailiff.
- IV — mortgages: amount and bank.
Red flags
- A notice of a pending application.
- Bailiff enforcement in section III.
- An owner other than the person selling.
- A residence easement or life annuity for a third party.
What the register won't show
Service-charge arrears, registered occupants, technical condition and building plans nearby. That's why we request certificates and check the zoning plan.
