Is legal due diligence included in the 3% fee?

The fee includes coordination with the appointed law firm, but the lawyer's regulated legal work and professional responsibility are separate. The law firm provides its own engagement terms and quote. The buyer may use counsel introduced by Warsaw Investor Care or appoint another lawyer.

Can the fee be negotiated when purchasing several apartments?

Yes. A multi-unit or staged portfolio instruction can be priced individually after the number of properties, timing, target stock and expected scope are established.

Can renovation be quoted before purchase?

Where access and the condition of the property allow it, Warsaw Investor Care first defines the expected scope and prepares a preliminary budget. A final quotation follows the agreed design, technical scope, materials and schedule.

Can Warsaw Investor Care help with a Polish mortgage based on foreign income?

With the buyer's consent, Warsaw Investor Care can introduce an experienced mortgage advisory team. The advisers collect financial data confidentially, assess possible bank routes and coordinate the financing process.

Are the tax and notarial estimates final?

No. They are planning ranges and general information. The lawyer, notary, tax adviser and lender should confirm the figures for the actual buyer, property and transaction structure before commitment.

Q: Why is there a PLN 20,000 net minimum?

The work required to search, screen, negotiate and coordinate a secure purchase does not reduce in direct proportion to the apartment price. The minimum protects the scope and independence of the buyer-side process.

One published buyer-representation model, a written scope and a clear separation between WIC fees, statutory transaction costs and optional work after purchase.

The percentage is the simple part. What matters is knowing what it covers, which costs belong to independent specialists and what may be needed after the keys are collected.

Buyer-side model

You know what you pay — and what happens next.

WIC’s fee covers the buyer-led search, screening, negotiation and coordination described below. Legal opinions, notarial charges, taxes, finance, renovation and rental services remain separate so the total plan is understandable before commitment.

Included in the fee

More than access to listings.

The fee buys a buyer-side decision process and one coordinated Warsaw route.

01

Plan and whole-market search

Budget, use and district logic translated into a search across relevant developer, agency and private-owner offers.

02

Compare and screen

Micro-location, building, layout, visible condition, likely works and realistic value before an offer.

03

Offer and negotiate

An evidence-led position on price, timing and conditions coordinated with the seller or developer.

04

Coordinate and complete

The lawyer, notary, bank and technical specialists are connected through signing, handover and remote logistics where suitable.

Separate purchase costs

The property price and WIC fee are not the whole budget.

These figures are planning information. The actual buyer, title and transaction must be checked before commitment.

Independent legal work

Often around 1% net + VAT

An indicative partner estimate, not a fixed tariff. The appointed law firm confirms its own scope and quote. You may appoint your own Polish counsel.

Notary and court

Value-band tariff + individual quote

Polish law sets maximum notarial remuneration by value bands, not one universal percentage. VAT, copies, mortgage entries and additional deeds may add cost. The standard court fee for an ownership entry is normally PLN 200.

Transaction taxes

2% PCC is common on taxable resale

A qualifying first-home buyer may be exempt. A standard VAT-taxed developer sale generally avoids ordinary 2% PCC, but a separate 6% rule can apply to the sixth and later residential unit bought in the same investment. Confirm the buyer, title and purchase structure.

Interpreter, remote route and finance

Individual quote

Sworn interpreting, power of attorney, apostille or legalisation, translations, valuation, bank charges, specialist surveys, insurance, currency conversion and transfers depend on the buyer and transaction.

Primary references: Ministry of Finance PCC rates, government first-home exemption guidance, maximum notarial tariffs and the court-fee act.

Optional after purchase

Renovation and long-term rental are separate scopes.

Management is available only for qualifying apartments renovated or finished under WIC technical control.

Tenant placement 1 full monthly payment

Calculated using the monthly rent plus the agreed administrative charges and utilities. The individual agreement confirms the base and tax treatment.

Ongoing management 10% of monthly rent

Long-term rental management under the agreed service scope. WIC does not provide short-stay or nightly-rental management.

Renewal PLN 750

Coordination of an extension with the same tenant after the first year.

Why scope matters

Real apartments involve real technical decisions.

These are WIC project photographs. We consider likely work before finishes and staging distort the buying decision.

Pricing FAQ

Answers before you instruct us.

If your route is unusual, ask for a written cost plan instead of relying on a generic estimate.

Is legal due diligence included in the 3% WIC fee?

WIC coordinates the file, but the lawyer’s regulated legal work and professional responsibility are separate. The appointed law firm provides its own engagement terms and quote, and you remain free to appoint your own counsel.

Why is there a PLN 20,000 net minimum?

The work required to define, search, screen, negotiate and coordinate a secure purchase does not fall in direct proportion to the apartment price. The minimum protects the agreed scope of the buyer-side process.

Can the fee be discussed for several apartments?

Yes. A staged or multi-unit instruction can be priced after the number of apartments, timing, target stock and expected scope are defined.

Can renovation or finishing be quoted before purchase?

Where access and documentation allow, we can define a preliminary scope and budget before commitment. The final quote depends on measurements, technical findings, materials and the agreed standard. See renovation and finishing in Warsaw.

Can WIC help with a mortgage based on foreign income?

We can introduce you to an independent mortgage-advisory team. Eligibility and terms depend on the bank, income currency, residence, documents and current lending policy, so the adviser verifies financing directly and confidentially.

Are the tax and notarial figures final?

No. They are planning information. The lawyer, notary and tax adviser should confirm the figures for the actual buyer, property and transaction structure before commitment.
