The Polish competition authority, UOKiK, has initiated investigations into companies offering investments in condo hotels, citing allegations of misleading consumers regarding profits, costs, and risks associated with such investments.

Two companies, Linea Mare and Beskid Resort Properties, face accusations of providing false information in their marketing campaigns, which promised high returns without disclosing critical factors that could affect profitability, such as taxes and maintenance costs.

UOKiK's President, Tomasz Chróstny, emphasized that consumers were not adequately informed about the implications of their investments, particularly regarding the expiration of contracts with property operators, which could lead to unexpected financial burdens.

Additionally, UOKiK is challenging certain clauses in contracts that restrict owners' rights and impose penalties for non-compliance, arguing that these practices may violate consumer rights and good business practices.

Furthermore, UOKiK has opened proceedings against Haveno Estate and Zdrojowa Invest2 for failing to cooperate during investigations, which could result in additional fines.

This investigation is part of UOKiK's broader efforts to address risks associated with alternative investments in commercial real estate, following previous warnings issued in 2019.
