Case study

House purchase near Poznan with a mortgage: technical handover and ~PLN 15k defects fixed

A foreign family wanted a new house near Poznan with a mortgage. The listing looked perfect — without due diligence, bank and post-move costs could have derailed the deal.

Technical survey

Independent technical handover of a new house — defect report before the preliminary contract

Before the preliminary contract we insisted on an independent technical handover. Defects were listed; the seller disputed the report. Outcome: an annex requiring fixes (~PLN 15,000 of work per the survey) instead of a large price cut.

Mortgage and paperwork

Ambiguous contract wording could have triggered a bank refusal. Early notary and branch-head meetings clarified the deal before the full application. Full support: land register, deposit terms, house purchase, mortgage advice.

Outcome

Family bought the house, secured financing, and avoided repair bills after moving in.

Common questions

For new-build houses we strongly recommend it before the deposit. The survey cost is a fraction of post-move repair risk.

Often yes, with proper income and contract wording. See mortgage for foreigners.
