Real Estate Risks Discussed

ASB Group and RENOMIA Gallagher hosted a business breakfast in Warsaw focused on risk management in real estate transactions. The event brought together investors, legal advisers, asset managers and insurance specialists to discuss tax, regulatory and transactional challenges facing the market.

Speakers highlighted the growing complexity of deal-making, particularly around VAT and PCC classifications, compliance requirements and historical tax exposures. According to participants, assets acquired or developed before 2016 may still carry risks linked to tax optimisation structures used at the time, potentially affecting transaction negotiations and valuations.

Experts also noted signs of renewed investment activity across Central and Eastern Europe, with capital gradually returning to the market. However, they stressed that increasingly detailed due diligence and multidisciplinary risk assessment remain critical as investors navigate a more complex regulatory environment.
