DKM Real Estate was established just 4 years ago when Michael Clay together with his partner Richard Davidoff made the decision to invest in the property market in what was then the new Eastern Block member of the EU - POLAND.

As a result the two partners invested personally in the venture and after purchasing a very fine portfolio became aware of the shortcomings of the local Polish Property Agents. Not wanting to entrust the job of letting and management of their own portfolio to complete strangers, we set up our very own Warsaw office.

Starting with just one member of staff, we now have a team of 14 personell in Warsaw, having created very pro-active Sales, Letting and Management departments. This team together with our own in house Lawyer provides a variety of services enabling the UK and overseas investor to enjoy a complete hand holding service. The entire team is fully licensed in strict accordance with the legal requirements of Poland.

As a result of our experiences in the UK market and bringing that professionalism to Poland, we have become the foremost British Polish Real Estate Agency in Poland. During 2007 further branches were opened in Krakow, Lodz and in Kiev in the Ukraine and this year we are opening in Poznan, Gdansk and Wroclaw.

In June 2007 Michael Clay was elected to the Board of Management of the British Polish Chamber of Commerce and is their only London Director, the other board members being based in Poland.

Through new initiatives entirely created by us we have the ability to sell ‘Off- Plan’ apartments in Poland in a program deemed ‘10/90’ This means the client can enjoy the maximum capital growth on his investment while depositing only the bare minimum with the Developer. A 10% deposit will secure the property and even though it may be 2 years before the date of completion, there is nothing more to pay to the developer until that completion takes place. In the meantime, the price is fixed.

During this build period, the present growth in the market in Poland will see up to a 30% increase in capital values and whilst this has certainly taken place over the last 3 years it is set to continue well into 2012 when Poland becomes a member of the EURO Zone and the Euro becomes it’s currency. In addition 2012 is the year Poland hosts the European Football competition

A comprehensive explanation of this and many other available offers are available from DKM.

Mortgages for overseas property – These are NO problem at all as we have led that initiative too, and the Polish Banks are more than prepared to lend to UK and Foreign investors. We even have our own in-house mortgage advisers and will prepare all documentation for our clients at no charge.

A complete fitting out, Design and Project Management services are also readily available and clients will be given as much hand holding as they wish to receive.

So, if you are looking for a safe investment in the EU, and are interested in substantial capital growth.

Memory Hook - Look no further – If you want to be in POLE position – ask DKM how? We are POLES apart.
