At Mortgage Direct, we’ve observed a significant rise in enquiries from Polish buyers in Spain over the past 18-24 months. This trend is also reflected in the growing interest from Polish estate agents based in Spain. According to our data, Polish buyers made up 5% of our completed mortgage cases in the first quarter of 2022. While this percentage might seem small, it represents a substantial increase in market activity.
Why are Polish buyers investing in Spain?
- Economic Growth and Affluence: Poland’s economic growth has led many Poles to seek luxury properties abroad. The appeal of a sunny holiday home in Spain has become more pronounced, as many Polish buyers are eager to enjoy the Spanish lifestyle.
- Changing Work Dynamics: The pandemic has redefined work environments, with many companies now allowing remote work. This shift has opened up opportunities for Polish buyers to invest in properties in Spain, seeking refuge from Poland’s cold winters.
- Geopolitical Stability: The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has intensified concerns about regional stability. For many Polish buyers, investing in Spanish property offers not only a lifestyle change but also a sense of security.
- Navigating Language Barriers: Dealing with mortgage processes in Spain can be challenging due to language differences. Although English is common in Poland, navigating Spanish banks can be daunting. Many Polish clients appreciate the support from Mortgage Direct, which includes assistance in their native language and mediation with banks, agents, and solicitors.
