Parking spaces - Maszbox.pl listings

Progress in residential and commercial construction means car owners now have many ways to keep their vehicles safe. Depending on the level of comfort you prefer, our site will bring you a varied range of options.

The most highly regarded choice remains a space inside a multi-storey garage complex. Because it sits within an enclosed structure, this option guarantees shelter from the weather.

A covered parking bay proves just as convenient, since it removes the need to clear snow in winter or cool the cabin on hot days. For a great many drivers the appeal of underground car parks lies in the extra security available - surveillance cameras or guards on site. Such structures often also contain enclosed garage boxes. That is a practical answer when, besides the car, you need to store a motorbike, a bicycle or car equipment, provided the building's rules allow it.

Beyond enclosed structures, surface bays attract enormous interest. These are usually just areas marked out with lines on asphalt or paving. Another option in the open air is a partly covered parking space with a carport. It protects the paintwork from the damaging effect of sunlight, from hail and from snow cover.

Before you decide to complete a purchase, the technical parameters of the bay are an extremely important thing to check. Under Polish building regulations, the minimum width of a parking space for a typical passenger car currently stands at 2.5 metres, while the required length is 5 metres. Bear in mind, though, that in older buildings the standards were somewhat different, so spaces marked out there may be narrower.

When browsing offers, always check whether the parking space on offer has these dimensions. This matters particularly to owners of larger vehicles - SUVs, wide saloons or vans. The right parking space dimensions, and a sensible distance from structural pillars or adjoining walls, are what let you open the doors freely and without worry.

On our site users can choose flexibly how they take on a property. A long-term parking space rental is the option often preferred by people who rent their flat and do not intend to tie themselves to one location for years. It offers flexibility and allows the agreement to be ended with the appropriate notice.

Buying a parking space outright also attracts a great deal of interest. Even if your plans change in future, owning your own parking space lets you generate steady passive income by renting it to other residents. Having a dedicated bay additionally raises the market value of the flat itself should you come to sell it.

Intense urban growth and the steadily rising number of cars on the streets make finding a free patch of space in a large city difficult. City authorities increasingly establish extensive paid-parking zones, which now cover not only central areas but outlying districts too. As a result, leaving a vehicle on the road each day brings constant, noticeable expense.

That is exactly why private parking spaces in Warsaw have met with such significant interest for years. The same tendency shows in other large cities - much sought-after parking spaces in Poznań give local drivers an effective answer to the crowded, narrow streets of the historic districts.

When making an investment decision, the formal questions have to be taken into account. The legal status of the bay itself follows above all from the legal structure of the building. Sometimes such a parking space is merely a physical appurtenance assigned to a particular flat. There are also cases, however, where buying a parking space in an underground garage means acquiring a specific fractional share in a separate non-residential unit.

In that situation the formal process becomes more complicated and a visit to a notary's office is required. The transaction then follows rules very close to those for buying a self-contained, entirely separate underground garage. The buyer covers the notary's fee and the possible cost of opening a land and mortgage register entry. Tax matters need weighing too - on the second-hand market the buyer is generally obliged to pay civil-law transaction tax of 2% of the contract's market value.
