The President has signed a new law requiring developers to disclose apartment prices before the start of sales! Developers will now have to comply with these new regulations, which poses a challenge for every developer.
This is a groundbreaking change that will significantly impact the transparency of the real estate market. No more hidden price lists, speculation, or “price on request”! From now on, every developer will be obliged to clearly specify and make prices publicly available. This will also make their work easier.
When do the new regulations take effect, and what exactly is changing?
The President of the Republic of Poland signed the law on 6 June 2025.
It will enter into force in July 2025, one month after its publication in the Journal of Laws. Developers, especially new ones, need to prepare for this change. Developers who started selling before the law takes effect will have an additional two months to adapt to the new requirements.
What does this mean for buyers?
Developers will be required to disclose apartment prices in their advertisements.
Price information will be mandatory not only on the developer’s website but also in the sales office. Moreover, at every stage of communication, the developer will be required to provide this information to meet the new requirements.
This marks a major change in communication on the primary housing market. Thanks to mandatory price disclosure, buyers will be able to compare offers from different housing projects more easily. This may shorten the decision-making process. It will also reduce the need for in-person visits just to obtain basic information about a property. This is particularly relevant for anyone interested in working as a developer.
Easier comparison of offers, more reliable data, and fewer “surprises” during meetings.
This is also an opportunity to strengthen customer trust in development companies. Mandatory price disclosure will increase market transparency and may encourage more people to purchase apartments – both for personal use and as investments.
From the perspective of real estate agents and agencies, the new regulations may help provide more efficient customer service. Additionally, they will make it easier to match offers to buyers’ real financial capabilities. In the long run, this change could also contribute to the standardization of property listings. This will make comparisons even simpler. Furthermore, these regulations may lead to greater automation of price analyses. This will result in higher efficiency for sales offices and agents – especially for new developers.
