Buying Property in Poznań: A Step-by-Step Guide
From reservation agreements to the notarial deed, here's how the property purchase process works in Poznań — and what to budget beyond the asking price.
Buying an apartment or house in Poznań follows a clear, well-established process, but the details matter — especially the costs that sit on top of the purchase price.
The typical journey begins with a reservation agreement (umowa rezerwacyjna), followed by a preliminary contract (umowa przedwstępna) and finally the notarial deed (akt notarialny) that transfers ownership.
Budget for additional costs of roughly 2–4% of the price: the 2% transfer tax (PCC) on secondary-market properties, notary fees, and court registration in the land and mortgage register (księga wieczysta).
Foreign buyers from the EU face no restrictions on apartments. For houses with land, non-EU buyers may need a permit — our team guides international clients through every step.
