The article discusses the implications of a recent law change in Poland that has eliminated fees for accessing the Real Estate Price Register, raising concerns about privacy and market impacts.
The recent amendment to the geodetic and cartographic law in Poland, effective from February 13, has eliminated fees for accessing data from the Real Estate Price Register (RCN). This change, initiated by the political party Poland 2050, aims to level the playing field for home buyers by providing easier access to information about property prices paid by others. While the intention is to enhance transparency and competition in the real estate market, it has opened up discussions regarding the potential invasion of privacy for property sellers.
