Useful when the property is in Poland and you are not.
- You live abroad and cannot attend every viewing or meeting.
- The agent is engaged by the seller and you want an independent local perspective.
- You need communication in English or Dutch.
- You are considering land or a property with development or renovation potential.
- You need several specialists coordinated rather than finding each one separately.
- You want to compare the purchase price with the practical cost of making the property usable.
Choose only the support you need.
Search and initial selection
Clarify the brief, review offers, contact sellers or agents, filter unsuitable options and arrange viewings.
Viewings and local representation
Attend in person, document visible conditions, ask practical questions and provide photographs or video. This is not a substitute for a formal building inspection.
Negotiation
Clarify commercial terms, communicate with the other side and negotiate within the authority agreed with you.
Specialist coordination
Arrange a lawyer, notary, building inspector, valuer, surveyor or other qualified person when the case requires formal advice or certification.
Transaction and handover coordination
Track documents, appointments, decisions and outstanding actions through signing, payment, handover or the agreed stopping point.
After purchase
Help find contractors, organise quotations, coordinate work, find a tenant or buyer and report progress from the site.
- Written buying brief and priorities — if search is included;
- Viewing notes, photographs and questions;
- Comparison of shortlisted options;
- List of legal and technical checks to arrange;
- Negotiation status and agreed terms;
- Action list with owners and deadlines;
- Optional renovation or handover coordination plan.

Risks to address
- Who is the agent actually representing?
- What is visible during a viewing and what requires specialist inspection?
- Does the legal or planning position match the intended use?
- What costs arise after the purchase price?
- Which decisions should be made before paying a reservation fee or deposit?
- What can and cannot be handled remotely?
Fees
A single viewing can be scoped as a small assignment. A search, negotiation and transaction process is usually billed in stages. The first 30-minute conversation is free. Travel and third-party fees are agreed before they are incurred.
FAQ
-
Can you find properties that are not on the large portals?
Where the brief justifies it, I can contact local agents, owners, developers and relevant business networks. Access to a specific off-market property can never be guaranteed. -
Can you act under a power of attorney?
Some actions may be possible under an appropriate power of attorney prepared or reviewed by a lawyer or notary. The exact scope depends on the transaction and must be confirmed by the relevant professional. -
Do you provide legal due diligence?
No. I coordinate the process, collect information and help the client understand what still needs to be checked. Formal legal opinions are prepared by a lawyer or notary. -
Can you arrange renovation after purchase?
Yes, depending on location and scope. This can include quotations, contractor communication, site visits, progress documentation and issue escalation. -
Do you receive commission from agents or sellers?
The charging basis and any relevant referral or commission relationship are disclosed before they can influence the assignment. The preferred model is a clear client instruction and fee. -
Do you guarantee that the property is a good investment?
No. I can help test assumptions, gather local information and compare practical costs. The final decision and investment risk remain with the client.
Have a property, location or buying brief in mind?
Send the location, type of property, stage and the main question. I will reply with the most sensible first scope.
