One million zlotys fine for the developer for misleading. We explain what clients can do

The President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection imposed a fine of 1,176,000 PLN on Groen Konstancin I for misleading advertising regarding the possibility of expanding living space by adapting an attic. The developer claimed that the attic could be converted into usable space, which was not technically feasible. This misrepresentation could significantly influence buyers' decisions and property prices. Consumers may seek price reductions or compensation for unfair market practices, as the attic was part of the common property and could not be individually modified. Legal experts suggest various grounds for claims against the developer, including warranty issues and potential group actions for affected buyers.
