Experts pointed out that the campaign related to presidential elections does not bring much to the discussion about housing policy.

“The subject of the availability of apartments or the development of social construction is rare – and if so, in a fragmentary and general way. Not every candidate included in his program points on housing, which only confirms that this sector remains in the shadow of the most important, from the point of view of campaigns, topics” – added, indicating that one of the few housing topics that breaks in the campaign is tax Catastral.

At the end of April, the Sejm adopted a law obliging developers to run websites, on which housing prices are to be given from the beginning of sales to its completion. The developer will also have to inform about all price changes and additional purchase costs. In the event of failure to comply with the obligation, the developer may be checked by UOKiK and be fined. The author of these solutions was the Polish 2050-TD club. Before the law goes to the president, he must go through the Senate. If he enters into force in its current shape, developers will have two months to adapt to new requirements.

“From measuring the temperature to anyone, the fever has fallen. Prices will be public, which will facilitate the orientation of the buyer, but it should not be expected that the transparency itself will translate into reductions. The market is still shaped by economic factors: financing costs, availability of loans and the structure of supply” – commented the founder of the TabeloFert.pl portal Robert Chojnacki. (PAP)
