Apartment prices in Wrocław 2026
Among investors, there is a saying that “a property is worth as much as the client is willing to pay for it”. That is exactly how it works in practice. Sooner or later, every property finds its buyer. It is only a matter of time and money.
How much does an apartment cost in Wrocław?
Currently, the average apartment price in Wrocław is about 13 000 PLN per m² on the primary market and about 10 500 PLN per m² on the secondary market. Prices can vary significantly depending on the location:
- Old Town from 14 000 PLN/m² ≈ 3 354 EUR/m²
- City Centre from 18 000 PLN/m² ≈ 3 354 EUR/m²
- Krzyki from 10 500 PLN/m² ≈ 2 516 EUR/m²
- Nadodrze from 9 000 PLN/m² ≈ 2 157 EUR/m²
- Psie Pole from 10 000 PLN/m² ≈ 2 396 EUR/m²
- Fabryczna from 12 000 PLN/m² ≈ 2 875 EUR/m²
Apartment prices by size:
- Studio apartments (25-35m²): from 300 000 zł
- 2-room apartments (35-50m²): from 400 000 zł
- 3-room apartments (50-70m²): from 550 000 zł

The listing prices of apartments, that is, those visible in online ads, are often much higher than the actual transaction prices. This means that buyers have plenty of room for negotiation, which may result in a significant reduction in the final purchase price. In Poland, sellers often inflate prices, assuming there will be room for negotiation.
Professional real estate agents we work with at GlobiHome have access to databases containing actual transaction prices of apartments in specific districts of Wrocław. This allows them to help determine the real value of the property and negotiate effectively. It is worth asking your agent for access to such data – this is a key advantage when buying an apartment, which can save you even tens of thousands of złoty!
How to buy an apartment in Wrocław - the step-by-step purchasing process
- Creditworthiness assessment: Before starting your search, it is worth assessing your creditworthiness so you know how much of a loan you can expect to get.
- Property selection: Analysis of the location, size, and price. You can find listings online as well as with professional real estate agents who are responsible for providing you with comprehensive support in a secure transaction.
- Legal status check: Before signing the agreement, you should carefully check the legal status of the property, including the land and mortgage register, to make sure there are no encumbrances or debts. Land and mortgage registers in Poland can be checked online on the Polish website of the Ministry of Justice. For this purpose, you need the land and mortgage register number.
- Negotiating the property price: You can negotiate the price of any property. If you work with a professional real estate agent, they will do it for you. You can read more about negotiating property prices in our article how to effectively sell real estate.
- Signing the preliminary agreement: Reservation agreement, payment of a deposit or down payment (usually 5-10% of the property's value)
- Obtaining financing: If you plan to buy with a mortgage, after signing the preliminary agreement you have time to submit a mortgage application to the selected bank.
- Finalizing the purchase: Signing the notarial deed before a notary.
- Property handover: Receiving the keys and settling the remaining purchase-related payments, which we will describe below.
- Post-purchase formalities: After the purchase, you must complete formalities such as updating the entries in the land and mortgage register or transferring utility meters.

Required documents when buying property in Poland
From the seller:
- Land and mortgage register of the property
- Title of acquisition of the property by the seller
- Certificate of no outstanding fees – issued by the building administrator or housing cooperative
- Certificate of no registered occupants – issued by the City Office
- Energy performance certificate – required for most properties
- Certificate of settlement of inheritance and donation tax – if the property was acquired by inheritance or donation (issued by the Tax Office)
- Bank certificate stating the amount of debt – if the property is encumbered by a mortgage
- ID card of the seller
From the buyer:
- ID card or passport of the buyer
- Loan documentation – if the purchase is financed by a loan
Having complete documentation significantly speeds up the property purchase process. It is worth consulting a notary or a real estate agent to make sure that all the necessary documents have been collected. If you work with a real estate agent, they will recommend a trusted notary to you, with whom you will often receive a lower price for preparing the notarial deed.
Taxes and fees when buying property in Wrocław
Buying property involves not only the price of the investment itself, but also additional fees and taxes that must be included in the budget. Below we present the most important taxes and fees, which must be paid when buying property in Wrocław.
Taxes when buying an apartment
- PCC tax (2%) – for properties on the secondary market.
- VAT (8% or 23%) – for apartments on the primary market (usually included in the price).
- Notarial fee – depends on the property value (usually PLN 1,000-3,000).
- PLN 200-300 – entry in the land and mortgage register.
- 2-3% – real estate agent's commission.
It is worth remembering that if you buy a property on the primary market, there is no PCC tax on the purchase. All new apartments from the developer have VAT included in the property price, so PCC tax no longer applies. Additionally, in Poland PCC tax applies only if you are buying another property. When buying your first property, you do not pay PCC tax. Of course, the notary will inform you about all taxes in your specific case.
Payment installments when buying property
Buying property, especially on the primary market, often takes place in several stages, according to the construction schedule or arrangements with the developer. Payments are divided into installments, which allows you to gradually finance the investment.
Payment in installments is also necessary if you want to buy a property with a mortgage. After signing the reservation or preliminary agreement, you can go to the bank to obtain a credit decision for the selected property.
Secondary market
- Deposit (5-10%) - under the preliminary agreement
- The remaining amount - at the notarial deed
Primary market (developer)
- Reservation (5-10 000 PLN)
- First payment (10-20%)
- Subsequent installments according to the construction schedule
- Final installment upon handover of the apartment
Mortgage for an apartment Wrocław
Basic requirements:
- Minimum 10% own contribution
- Creditworthiness (a mortgage advisor will calculate it for you)
- Stable employment (an employment contract for at least 3 months is preferred)
- Positive credit history
Can I get a mortgage if I am not a Polish citizen?
Yes, but a foreigner must meet additional requirements, such as:
- Valid residence permit
- An employment contract in Poland or stable income from abroad
- A bank account in a Polish bank is required
- Sworn translations of documents required
Renting out property in Wrocław
If you're considering renting out an apartment in Wrocław, you're in luck – demand here is really high! The city attracts students, IT specialists and corporate employees from Poland and abroad who are eager to rent apartments. A well-chosen property can be a great investment. But what does the rental market look like in practice? What are the costs, profits and rental management options?
Average rental rates (2026):
- 1-room apartment: from 2100 PLN/month
- 2-room apartment: from 3500 PLN/month
- 3-room apartment: from 4500 PLN/month
These are long-term rental amounts. Short-term rental brings higher income, but also involves more work. In that case, the apartment must be cleaned and prepared for the next guests every time.
Property rental management Wrocław
Rental management is unfortunately not a pleasant task. If you rent out an apartment long term, you need to be available if something breaks or a renovation is needed. If you decide on a short-term rental you can generate higher profits, but you need to ensure frequent cleaning and preparation of the property for new tenants. It is worth delegating this entire process to companies that specialize in it.
Scope of services provided by management companies:
- Finding tenants
- Preparing contracts
- Tenant support
- Accounting and bookkeeping
- 24/7 technical service
Rental management costs:
- Finding a tenant: 50-100% of the monthly rent
- Comprehensive rental management: 8-20% of the monthly rent
- Additional services (e.g. cleaning): priced individually
