G-Estate is a Warsaw real estate agency that has been selling and renting property for over 10 years, with 180+ clients and a 30-day average time to sale. We work with international clients and handle the entire transaction in English, German, Russian, Spanish or French.

The question we get most

Most foreigners buying an apartment in Warsaw do not need a government permit. The permit requirement that people have heard about applies mainly to non-EU buyers purchasing a house with land. Full explanation here.

What we do

Buying a home

We find and vet properties, arrange viewings around your schedule (including video walkthroughs if you are not in Poland yet), and negotiate on your behalf.

Renting

Long-term rentals in Warsaw, including help with the lease type Polish landlords use most often and what it actually commits you to.

Paperwork and legal coordination

We work with a lawyer and a notary on every transaction and coordinate the documents, so nothing arrives in Polish without an explanation.

Valuation from real transaction data

We price using registered transaction prices from the national register (RCN), not asking prices from listing portals - so you know what things actually sell for.

Due diligence before you commit

Land and mortgage register checks, plot status, road access and planning designation - the things that are expensive to discover after signing.

Your language, end to end

English, German, Russian, Spanish and French - not just for the first call, but through negotiations and the notarial deed.

Who you will work with

A small team on purpose - the person you speak to first is the person who takes you through to the notary.

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreigner buy property in Poland?

Yes. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens buy on the same terms as Polish citizens. Citizens of other countries generally need a permit from the Ministry of the Interior - but buying a standalone apartment is normally exempt from that requirement, which is the case for most buyers in Warsaw. Buying a house with land is a different matter and usually does need the permit.

Do I need to speak Polish to buy an apartment here?

No. We handle the process in your language. One thing to plan for: the notarial deed is executed in Polish, and if you do not speak Polish the notary will require a sworn translator to be present. We arrange that.

Do I need a Polish bank account or a PESEL number?

Neither is strictly required to purchase, though both make the process considerably easier in practice - particularly for transferring funds and for anything that follows the purchase, such as utilities. We will tell you which ones are worth arranging in your specific situation.

Can you help if I am not in Poland yet?

Yes. We run video viewings and can carry out the initial search and shortlist before you arrive, so that a trip to Warsaw is spent on a handful of serious candidates rather than on browsing.
