Why you should invest in real property in Krakow

Krakow is the only Polish city whose population has been growing over many years in a row. While other large cities in the country are losing their inhabitants, more and more people find abodes in Krakow. To meet the growing demand for housing the Krakow developers erect new buildings with apartments of various quality and sizes. You can find elite high-rise apartment buildings close to the downtown areas as well as inexpensive apartments in the suburbs. The prices for the downtown and uptown apartments differ considerably, so you can look into the latter option too if you do not want to spend too much money on buying an apartment in Krakow.  

Why purchasing an apartment in Krakow makes good economic sense

The prices for apartments in Krakow are comparatively high but real residential accommodations are in high demand anyway for the reason given above. Many people prefer buying new apartments and adjusting them to their needs. Purchasing an apartment in Krakow would be a wise investment and this is why.

Most people buying second homes in Krakow (or any other Polish city) do not spend their own money. Rather, the investor would take out a mortgage, let the apartment on a lease and use the rental payments to pay back the loan. A long-term lease agreement will bring you from 5% to 9% of the cost of the apartment per year. The exact income will depend on the location of the property and its type.   

Inexpensive apartments located close to the AGH and Jagielloński University are popular with students. An apartment in the city center will normally bring you a heftier profit though.  

A long-term lease agreement is often a good solution for the investors who do not have a lot of free time. What they do is sign a contract with a managing company, pay a share of the rental fee to the company and take care of nothing else.

The least expensive way to purchase an apartment in Krakow is to purchase it directly from the developer who has just completed the construction of the building. If you buy an apartment located close to the city center, fairs, and main tourist attractions, you will have a good chance to let it on a short-term lease thus making a bit more money. Tourists and businesspeople visiting Krakow would be your customers as they seek comfort and proximity to the center of things.

The matter is that a short-term lease will probably bring you a larger profit if everything is organized in a proper way. You can earn 10% or even 15% of the cost of the property per year. Again, much will depend on the property type and location as well as the range of services that you offer to customers.

Property in Krakow is growing in value

Prices for real property in Krakow have been ceaselessly growing for a number of years. If this tendency continues, your apartment is going to cost considerably more by the time you pay back the mortgage. Thus, you can have some capital gains if you invest in an apartment in Krakow.

Purchase the apartment directly from the developer

The prices for apartments in Krakow are comparable to those for apartments in the capital of the country. That is to say, the prices are high. At the same time, a stable passive income from rent will be almost guaranteed if you invest in an apartment in Krakow.

Buying a new apartment (one that has not been lived in) would be the best choice. You can find an apartment that needs painting and decorating so that you can do the finishing work in accordance with your taste and preferences. You can also find an apartment that you can start using on the spot. This type of apartment in Krakow is most likely to exhibit the nicest construction materials and the nicest looks.  

You can purchase a five-year warranty from the developer if you wish. It is not obligatory but if a pipe leaks, for example, the warranty is going to cover the costs of the repair work.
