The obligation to publish apartment prices on the Internet is one of the biggest changes faced by developers. In theory, it is supposed to strengthen the position of customers and make it easier for them to compare offers. However, will price openness really change the real estate market, or will it remain just an additional burden for companies? In the conversation, mec. Michał Pomorski, a lawyer and tax law expert from the Pomorski Tax Legal Finance law firm, indicates what the effects of the new regulations will be, who will benefit from them and who will lose.

Price transparency is to increase the transparency of the real estate market - will it really strengthen the position of buyers, or will it rather become another obligation for developers without much impact on sales practice?

As part of our clerk practice, we serve both developers, real estate agents, investors, and individuals planning to purchase residential premises. To be honest, we have not encountered a case in which a developer would apply different prices depending on who applied to him. Of course, in the case of wholesale purchases, investors almost always negotiate more favorable conditions - both price and deferral of payments. On the other hand, the person buying one premises did not have and will not have such a negotiating position.
