Buying and renting property in Warsaw as an expat

Warsaw is one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in Central Europe, attracting expats from across the globe. Whether you want to buy or rent, the process involves specific legal steps that differ from most Western European countries. Having a local agency that speaks your language and understands both Polish law and international expectations makes the process significantly smoother.

Can foreigners buy property in Poland? (general rules and permits)

General rules:

• EU/EEA citizens – can buy property in Poland on terms similar to Polish citizens. No special permit is required for apartments.
• Non-EU/EEA citizens – may need a permit from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for certain types of property (agricultural land, properties in border zones). Buying a flat in a multi-family building usually does not require a permit.

Important: the exact rules depend on your citizenship, the type of property, and current regulations. Always confirm with your agency and a lawyer.

How the process works step by step

1. Initial consultation – define your needs, budget, preferred districts and legal status.
2. Property search – your agent searches listings and off-market offers that match your criteria.
3. Viewings – guided visits to shortlisted properties, with explanations of local market specifics.
4. Legal verification – checking land registry, any encumbrances, and permit requirements.
5. Negotiation and preliminary agreement – your agent negotiates the price and prepares the pre-contract.
6. Notarial deed – coordination with the notary, sworn translator (if needed), and final transaction.

English-speaking support and communication

MK Brokers & Invest has international transaction experience (including markets outside Poland, such as Bulgaria) and communicates with international clients in English. You can reach us via WhatsApp, email (biuro@mkbrokersinvest.com) or phone (+48 790 533 372).

Why choose a boutique agency

Large real estate chains handle hundreds of listings at once. A boutique agency like MK Brokers & Invest works with fewer clients, which means more attention, a personalised strategy and better communication. For expats navigating an unfamiliar market, this individual approach makes all the difference.
