A small update to my search: I can accept an older interior, which raises the question of how to screen out buildings likely to need substantial work soon. I am seeking a true 1-bed in Warsaw or within a sensible commute, with up to PLN 3,674,000 available.

The bedroom must be enclosed and separate, not a studio corner. For possible matches, could you give the area, internal floor space, ownership arrangement and likely availability? Transport matters more than cosmetic condition, provided the wider building has a credible maintenance history.
 
You may get better-matched responses if you define “near Warsaw” by journey time rather than distance. Is the priority access to the city centre, a particular station, or another part of Warsaw? A place can look close on a map while being awkward for the journey you actually make.
 
It would also help to explain how flexible the PLN 3,674,000 figure is. Is that the maximum purchase price, or does it need to cover renovation and transaction costs too? Since dated interiors are acceptable, separating the acquisition budget from the refurbishment allowance could prevent sellers from assuming you only want fully modernised homes.
 
The condition of the wider building could decide whether a dated flat is a manageable project or an expensive mistake. A claim that it has been maintained is not enough on its own. For any shortlisted property, ask what major work was done recently, what is expected next and whether costs have already been discussed. The common areas may also reveal recurring damp, cracking or neglected services that the flat photographs do not show.
 
True, although asking for detailed building information before anyone even responds may narrow the field too much. For an initial suggestion, neighbourhood, size, ownership form, floor level and availability should be enough. Building condition can then be investigated for the shortlist rather than relying on either promotional wording or first impressions.
 
Another missing preference is floor area. A “1-bed” could mean a compact two-room layout or a much larger home with only one designated bedroom. Do you have a minimum size, and would you consider a property currently arranged differently if a separate bedroom could be created without major work?
 
For transport, I’d ask respondents to state the actual mode and approximate door-to-door journey rather than just saying “good access.” Walking time to a station or stop, transfers, and whether the route suits your regular destination matter more than a general claim that the area is connected.
 
There is a trade-off in the brief: widening the area may produce more maintained buildings, but it makes the transport requirement more important. I’d rank the criteria explicitly—separate bedroom, structural condition, journey, availability, then interior finish—and say which one can bend. Otherwise very different properties may all be presented as matches.
 
Is PLN 3,674,000 a firm ceiling or a currency-conversion figure? Its precision may cause confusion when people assess budget flexibility. It would also help to give an availability window: vacant now, completion within a few months, or no fixed deadline. Those two clarifications should make any offers much easier to compare.
