Buying a house in Mysłowice – what you should know

Are you buying a house in Mysłowice and wondering which district is the most worthwhile? Buying a property is always a very serious decision, so it needs careful thought.

Mysłowice's appeal comes from its proximity to the A4 motorway and to Katowice-Pyrzowice and Kraków-Balice airports, as well as its very good connections with the whole of Upper Silesia. It is a historic city, full of remarkable monuments. The charm of the Mysłowice streets makes tourists fall in love with the local architecture instantly. So why not live here?

The most popular district in Mysłowice

Most of the listings of houses for sale in Mysłowice come from the Morgi district. One of the youngest areas of Mysłowice, however, has high prices: the average amount for which we can buy a house is 806,545 PLN, which is almost 200 thousand more than the average price of all houses in the town. It may be surprising that buildings built within the last five years make up only a small share of the listings for sale in Morgi. In contrast, the vast majority of the properties were built in the 21st century.

If you dream of a new, cheap house, the easiest place to look is Janów Miejski – the average price of this type of property, with an average area of 220 m2, is only 620,000 PLN there. A good part of the listings are semi-detached houses, but in this district of Mysłowice you can also find a few listings of detached houses for sale. Note that some of the buildings still need renovation or finishing, which entails additional costs. It is worth paying attention to listings in the Brzęczkowice district, where, on both the primary and the secondary market, a house built after 2010 costs 590,000 PLN on average. Terraced houses of about 160 m2 dominate here, however.

Safety in the districts of Mysłowice

According to police reports for 2014, the most crimes, including theft of property, burglary, car theft, fights or assault, robbery offences, damage to property and bodily harm, were committed in the Piasek, Centrum and Bończyk districts, where their number ranged around 90-100 a year.

Whichever district you decide to buy a property in, remember to pay attention to the other aspects of concluding the transaction, including:

• checking the general condition of the house – roof, façades, wiring, plumbing and heating, windows and doors, floors, fittings, etc.,
• studying the design of the house, which lets us check the technical solutions and the materials it was made of,
• confirming the right of ownership and checking the entries in the land and mortgage register (księga wieczysta),
• checking the form of the preliminary agreement (umowa przedwstępna) of sale.
