Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to answer the question whether the regulations of the Act on Protection of Rights of Buyers of Residential Premises or Single-Family House of 16 September 2011 are in place. (Journal of Laws No. 232, item 1377), i.e. of 30 August 2019. (Journal of Laws of 2019, item 1805) – hereinafter referred to as the Developer’s Act, are sufficient in the context of the developer’s information obligations. The author specifically referred to the obligation to provide information on a development project. In the opinion of the author, the Developer’s Act does not provide the purchaser with sufficient protection in the period between the conclusion of the development contract and the date of transfer of the ownership right (residential unit or single-family house). Therefore, the author considers the legitimacy of amending the Development Act to introduce the buyer’s right to withdraw from the development contract in the case of significant changes to the development project in the period between the conclusion of the development contract and the date of accession to the promised contract. Also, the author notes that not every change in a development project, which the developer could not foresee at the time of concluding the development contract, should give the purchaser the right to withdraw from the contract. It cannot be forgotten about the complexity of a development project, which means that it would not be justified to fully burden the developer with investment risk.
