The value of a plot can be preliminarily estimated by analyzing the asking prices of similar land in the area. Real estate websites and public data sources (Geoportal GUGiK, Real Estate Data Bank by GUS, etc.) and industry reports with price maps and trends are useful.
It is important to consider the plot’s parameters – location, local zoning plan (MPZP), and utilities – which is why final valuation often requires a certified property appraiser. However, analyzing average market prices and comparing listings from the region gives a good picture of the plot’s value.
