I hear people discounting Poland as an overseas property investment location recently. I can't understand why frankly, in fact it's annoying. People don't seem to know anything about Poland to start with, is our education and knowledge of Geography so bad in the UK that we don't know anything about our fellow countries in the European Union.
I have spoken to a lot of people who say, "why are you so interested in Poland? it's a really cold country isn't it?" it is cold in winter but in summer it gets a hell of a lot better weather than the UK does. More sunshine for a start.
A lot of British people wouldn't dream of visiting Poland on holiday, the picture they have in their heads is one of grey communist buildings, freezing temperatures and people queuing for food. This may have been the case in the past but now Poland is a thriving country economically with a young energetic population.
The other day I showed a good friend of mine the picture of Warsaw at night you can see above with all the skyscrapers lit up. He couldn't believe it was Poland he thought it looked more like an American city sky line or Hong Kong or Singapore. Yes, amazingly everyone in Poland doesn't drive around with a horse and cart and live on a farm.
I am not biased to Poland in any way, in fact I thought a lot of these things before I first visited the country and so I know where these people are coming from. But now I have been educated about Poland I feel like I have to share my thoughts with the rest of the world.
People who discount Poland as a great overseas property investment location are missing out on a great opportunity.

Have been to Poland twice this year and was very impressed with what i saw. Getting finance to build a portfolio over there seems to be a headache, but times are changing. Ive some usefull links/articles if you want to contact me.
