PKO BP Sells Over zl.1bn in Mortgages in October
PKO BP bank sold over zl.1 billion in mortgage loans in October, vice president Wojciech Papierak told the PAP news agency.
"Both in September and October sales of mortgage loans exceed zl.1 billion," Papierak said.
The bank said earlier that mortgage sales in Q3 totaled around zl.3.2 billion.
Here in the UK PKO BP has new products to offer both UK residents both Polish and British. Being forward thinking, they are able to provide mortgage loans to buyers of property in Poland with excellent facilities of up to 100% LTV.
At a seminar at PKO's offices in London, at which Michael Clay spoke about the property market in Poland, the range of loan facilities was unveiled. These included a service providing mortgages to Employees, Self employed and Directors of Ltd UK companies.
This seems to be a great step forward for PKO in their efforts to increase business with the UK investor market and whilst in PLN the interest rates should prove to be very competitive.

The BPCC Annual Dinner Dance - Ball 2009
Last Saturday the BPCC held its sell out 17th Annual Ball. 300 guests gathered for the 1920s themed evening, sponsored by Jones Lang LaSalle and co-hosted by InterContinental Warszawa. Coverage of the ball will be in the next issue of Contact magazine but we are so proud of the fundraising achievement that we wanted to shout about it now! Said Caroline Cook.
Every year the BPCC supports a charity at the BPCC Annual Ball and this year we organised two fundraising activities in aid of the Eugeniusza Dutkiewicza SAC Hospice in Gdansk which helps people who have progressive and life-threatening illnesses. We are delighted to announce that a record amount was raised.
The first activity was our annual raffle and thanks to the superb prizes donated by BPCC members and the generosity of guests at the Ball, this raised an amazing 7,610PLN. Second was an auction for a unique, anonymously donated prize – a rugby ball signed by Lech Wałęsa and the entire Polish national rugby team plus a photograph of Jan Kozlowski, president of the Polish Rugby Association and President Wałęsa signing the ball. The auction was open online as well as taking place live at the Annual Ball so non-guests could also take part. Expertly orchestrated by professional real estate auctioneer, Michael Clay of Davidoff Kleeberg & Maresch and Export Poland, bidders battled it out, pushing the price higher and higher until it finally sold for an astounding 10,000PLN.
“We are thrilled to have raised a total of 17,610PLN which is more money than ever before and for such a worthy cause and I would like to thank all members who donated prizes and took part in the fundraising. A superb achievement!” said Martin Oxley, BPCC CEO.
“We would like to thank the BPCC and its members for their huge generosity and support for the hospice. We provide free of charge care to over 1,000 patients every year and therefore donations like this are invaluable to us,” added Aneta Puszko, Fundraising Manager, Eugeniusza Dutkiewicza SAC Hospice.
The entire event was wonderfully hosted by the BPCC and David Thomas - Chairman of the British Polish Chamber of Commerce welcomed all of the guests before Ric Todd HM Ambassador to Poland spoke in both Polish and English to everyone also.
An excellent dinner and 1920's themed dance then took place and a fantastic evening followed. There is no doubt that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Mayor of Warsaw - Visit a success
Over 70 delegates attended from the Banking, Industrial and construction sectors as well as many other interested parties all wanting to know more about the Warsaw effect. Michael Clay, Vice Chairman of the British Polish Chamber of Commerce, acted as Chairman and introduced the speakers:- Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz the Mayor of Warsaw, Pawel Pawlowski responsible for Department of City Investment and Miroslaw Czekaj the City Treasurer.

The event ran very smoothly with several poignant questions from the floor, and Michael Clay specifically asking about the Social and Municipality Housing schemes which would solve the housing problems in Warsaw. Several ideas were mooted on this subject which will give a lot of new ideas to Warsaw city.
It was confirmed that the new North Bridge in Warsaw had seen work begun some 4 weeks earlier and a great deal of infrastructure is being done in preparation for 2012.
