LEGAL INTRODUCTION

Poland’s accession to the European Union has had a significant impact on the shape of Polish legislation, both through direct implementation of EU directives and as a result of adapting the national legal order to European standards. These changes also affected real estate law. Entering the European Union allowed Poland to become part of the EU’s single market, benefiting from the four key freedoms: the free movement of goods, services, persons, and capital throughout the EU. The single market allows citizens of EU member states to live and work anywhere in the EU, while consumers benefit from a wider range of services and products.
