The President has signed amendments to the act on the protection of purchasers of residential apartments or single-family houses and on the Developer Guarantee Fund (Journal of Laws of 2025, item 758).
Do you know there are new compliance duties on developers with respect to new projects starting already on or after 11 July 2025?
What are those duties?
- You have to keep a website for your firm. You need it already from the moment you start your sales or sign your first reservation agreement.
- You have to make sure the website contains information important for purchasers:
-
- price per sqm of usable area (of apartment, house, entire property or its parts),
- price for appurtenances, unless included in the per sqm price,
- amount of any additional payments the purchaser is required to make to the developer
- general part of the information prospectus,
- registered office address, address of point of sale, contact method, project location.
- You must ensure that:
- pricing information is up-to-date,
- your website address is shown in your advertising and sale offers,
- project information is provided once a day to the minister for IT.
What you must do to comply with those requirements:
- create a website and make sure it contains the required information,
- set up an account on https://dane.gov.pl/pl
- maintain the website and regularly send relevant data to the authorities until your last contract is assigned.
The new law offers new consumer protection mechanisms:
If the price shown on the website is different than that offered at the time of contracting, the purchaser may demand that the contract be made at the price they consider better for them.
Why is it important?
If you do not comply, you may be held to harm collective interests of consumers.
