Many commentators have speculated on which cities or towns
will be the next big thing in Polish property but canny
buying in already established locations can produce
exceptional returns. Tim Hill, author of Buying Property in
Poland, uncovers how the professionals find profit in well
known places.

I met a worried couple recently who had bought land and
built a house thirty kilometres from the centre of Warsaw.
The commute into the city takes just under an hour and in
return for this "discomfort" they live in a seven roomed
detached house, surrounded by gardens, bordering a forest
and nestled on the edge of an idyllic village.

Their stress doesn't come from their lifestyle, it would be
the envy of many Western Europeans, but from their friends
and acquaintances who continue to comment on how they manage
to live so far away from work.

The Polish property market is emerging but Polish buyers are
evolving. Newspapers report on how those who live in Warsaw
cannot afford the prices. What they mean is the middle
classes can no longer afford to purchase in the city centre
or upmarket neighbourhoods.

For now many choose to rent but they are about to go through
the same realisation as the populations of London, Paris,
Berlin or any number of European cities have already
experienced. You can rent in the centre, buy a small place
in the suburbs or have a house in the commuter belt.

At the moment the commuter belt concept is new and
relatively unknown in Poland. The idea that a person living
in Milton Keynes would drive 60 miles to work in London
every day is not only alien, it is absurd.

But change is coming and a better road and rail
infrastructure, along with further increases in city centre
prices, will cause a gradually shifting mentality to gather
pace. Professional foreign investors know it because they
have already seen commuter belts form in Western Europe.
What's more the growth in Polish cities, due to a rapidly
expanding economy, is only at its earliest phase.

If your search is for capital gain it does not have to be in
unknown locations, it can be around the edges of any well
established metropolis in Poland, and its easier than most
people think.

Fold out a map of any city and follow the main trunk roads
or rail lines. Make sure the plan is up to date and it will
also include routes of future traffic arteries. Find small
villages and towns positioned along these that already have
fair infrastructures and amenities and then track down your
property.

The next hotspots in Poland are not just place names, they
are concepts. They are areas the foreign professionals buy
in, against the advice of agents, because they have already
seen the future.

Our worried couple have actually made one of the best
investments possible because the demographic history of
Western Europe is about to be played out on Polish soil and
smart buying will produce exceptional results.
