PCC, notary, court
Full purchase cost
On the secondary market PCC, the notary and the court sit on top of the flat price. Upfront cash is lower with a mortgage. The PCC relief is not a 5-year test: art. 9 pkt 17, and a home abroad counts too. The write-up is on the taxes page.
Permit
Can a foreigner buy an apartment in Poznań
Asset type first, citizenship second. Poznań is not in the border zone, but a house or a plot for a buyer from outside the EEA is a separate path.
Apartment (lokal mieszkalny)
An EU citizen and a non-EU buyer usually buy a self-contained unit without an MSWiA permit. Passport, PESEL and a sworn translator at the notary are covered in documents.
House or plot
A house and a plot for a citizen from outside the EEA and Switzerland generally need a ministry permit. We plan the filing before the preliminary contract.
Mortgage and taxes
Residence card and income for the bank are in the mortgage guide for foreigners. PCC, notary and court fees are in taxes. The first-home relief is not reduced to one ownership period.

Poznan apartment market trends
Key facts before you buy — based on NBP and local listing data.
1
Stabilisation after growth
NBP points to slower price growth in 2026 with more pragmatic buyers and negotiable secondary listings.
2
Listing vs transaction price
In Q1 2026 the average Poznan secondary-market asking price was PLN 12,378/m² and the average deed price was PLN 10,677/m², a 15.9% gap (Bankier.pl / NBP). In Q2 2026 that average gap narrowed to about 12.9% (asking 12,497 / deed 10,891). A discount on one flat is negotiated separately, not as an automatic 15%. In one quarter those are three different figures: the NBP average from the BaRN report, the district RCN deed median, and the asking price.

Process
How I will help you buy an apartment
Five steps, from criteria to the deed. The cooperation agreement and viewing details are covered in the consultation, not in a long list.
Criteria and budget
We fix district, size, timing and the full amount: price, PCC or VAT, notary, court and, if needed, the loan.
01
Search and viewings
A shortlist from the MLS and portals, a viewing route, and a comparison of resale and new builds against your criteria.

Deed and handover
Notary, payment, keys and the handover protocol. After the deed: PCC and the land-register entry on the timetable in the tax section.
