The most popular flats in Poland

Poles are very keen on buying property. Both young people and mature buyers take an interest in transactions on this market. We try to write about listings of properties finished to developer's standard (stan deweloperski) as well as those from the secondary market. Are you curious which are more popular? Find out which flats are the most popular in Poland.

Are the most popular flats in Poland large?

Poles' preferences regarding the properties they buy change quite rapidly. This is due, among other things, to market trends, interior design fashions, prices and the new housing estates being built. The flat we choose depends above all on the social group and age of the person investing. The data may surprise many of you. It shows that in large cities the most popular flats are small ones, with a maximum of two rooms. We are more interested in a two-room property of just 40 square metres than in one with an area of 50 sq m. This may be down to buyers' financial means.

And what about studio flats, for example in Katowice? They are still seen as a good investment, especially by those who buy property to let. We are not particularly interested in very small units. We most like to view one-room flats of 30 sq m. When it comes to multi-room properties, one thing does not change – flats with separate rooms (not walk-through ones) are popular. A few years ago, layouts in which the kitchen was open to the living room were in demand. In 2017 this changed. Poles more readily chose flats with a separate kitchen with a window. Statistics show that large flats, for example in tenement houses, are of interest to young people under 50. Older people do not want to pay for large flats whose potential they will not use. They pay attention to running costs.

Is buying flats a good investment?

The number of properties bought in Poland keeps growing. It turns out that we are very willing to invest in the property market. We prefer to use our savings this way rather than keep them in a savings account. The lion's share of the flats bought are intended for letting. That is precisely why we prefer flats with separate rooms. One more question remains that interests many of you. Do many people rely on a mortgage? Research shows that more than half of flats are bought for cash. We avoid relying on banks when it is not necessary.
In Poland, buying property is incredibly popular. Do not be afraid of investing and moving forward. Browse interesting listings of flats for sale.
