Real estate purchase in Poland Real estate can be sold in Poland directly through the owners or through licensed brokers as intermediaries. There is no need for a separate transfer of ownership, but only a notarized deed to be issued. Real estate may not be transferred subject to a time limit, but must be entered immediately into the land register. Buyers should note that mortgages that may be charged to the property acquired will be transferred to the purchaser upon purchase. Before the purchase, the land register should be reviewed, burdens, ownership, etc. Buyers may insist on the conclusion of a preliminary contract that binds both parties to the conclusion of the purchase contract. This will prevent the seller from withdrawing from the contract. The buyer can withdraw from the contract if gross defects exist on the property or the ownership is not clearly regulated. If the seller eliminates all defects, then the purchase comes to a standstill. If he can not or if he does not, then the purchase is obsolete.
