With so much interest in Polish property one of the largest developers in the country, JW Construction, actually opened a permanent office in London this year. A search on the internet reveals a wealth of sites offering varying levels and accuracy of advice and online forums buzz with people scrabbling for guidance. Channel Four’s A Place in the Sun cited Poland as the second best place in the world to buy property and it has become the seventh most popular tourist destination in Europe attracting 15 million leisure visitors every year.

Did you see the episode of the BBC2 program 'How to pay off your mortgage in 2 years'. In this episode the man of the family traveled to Bansko, Bulgaria looking for an investment property. I am not sure of how much he had to spend but he was taken to view a number of properties by an agent from an 'un-named' agency and charged a whopping 1000 Euros for the privilege of doing so. Now this in itself should have started alarm bells ringing.
