Power of attorney
Buying real estate requires a power of attorney in notarial form. The easiest option is a Polish consulate. A document signed with a foreign notary usually needs an apostille (or legalisation) and a sworn translation into Polish. We agree the wording with the Polish notary in advance to avoid corrections.
Money and documents
You pay by transfer — to the seller's account, a notarial deposit or the developer's escrow account. Prepare proof of the source of funds. The notary needs your passport (details go into the deed); if you have no PESEL, other identification details are used.
Non-EU foreigners
You can buy a flat (a self-contained unit) without an MSWiA permit, even from abroad. A house with land or a plot usually needs a permit — we check this before the preliminary contract.
