For international clients
Buying in a country you do not live in should still feel straightforward.
Czech property is open to foreign buyers, but the paperwork around it is not written for you. We handle the whole transaction in English — the search, the negotiation, the solicitor, the escrow account and the keys — so the only thing you have to judge is whether you like the flat.
How a purchase runs
Four stages, and you know where you stand at each one
Brief and orientation
A call in English to establish your budget, timeline and what you actually need — plus an honest picture of the neighbourhoods that fit it.
Viewings, in person or remote
We shortlist, visit and film. If you cannot travel, you see each property on a live video walkthrough and get the questions asked on your behalf.
Offer and reservation
We negotiate, then prepare the reservation agreement. Every clause is translated and explained before anything is signed.
Contracts, escrow and handover
Purchase contract, escrow with a solicitor, Land Registry filing, utility transfers and the handover itself — coordinated as one process.
What we coordinate
The parts that are hard to arrange from abroad
Legal representation
Independent Czech solicitors experienced with cross-border transactions. You are never relying on the seller's lawyer.
Escrow and Land Registry
Funds held in solicitor's escrow and released only on registration of title — never handed over on a promise.
Translation and notary
Certified translations, sworn interpreters and notarial appointments arranged around your schedule.
Financing
Introductions to banks that lend to non-residents, and a clear-eyed view of what each will realistically approve.
Tax and accounting
Referral to Czech tax advisors for acquisition, rental income and eventual sale — before you commit, not after.
Power of attorney
If you cannot be in the country for completion, we set up representation so the transaction does not wait for a flight.
Settling in
Utilities, internet, insurance, building management and the small administrative things nobody warns you about.
Remote-first working
Video walkthroughs, electronic signing where the law allows it, and updates in your time zone rather than ours.
Questions we are asked
Straight answers, before you spend money
General guidance, not legal or tax advice. Anything that affects your position is confirmed in writing by an independent Czech solicitor or tax advisor before you are asked to commit.
Can a foreign national buy property in the Czech Republic?
In practice, yes — residential property is open to foreign individuals and companies, whether or not they hold EU citizenship. Your specific position is confirmed in writing by our solicitor before you commit to anything, because the answer can depend on the type of property and on how you intend to hold it.
Do I need to live in the Czech Republic, or hold a residence permit?
Owning property and holding residence are separate matters. Buying a home does not by itself grant you the right to live here, and you do not need a residence permit in order to buy. If residency is part of your plan, we will say so early and put you in touch with an immigration specialist rather than guess.
Can the whole purchase be completed without me travelling?
Usually. Viewings can be done on live video, and completion can be handled through a power of attorney prepared for exactly that purpose. We will tell you honestly which steps genuinely benefit from you being here.
Can I get a Czech mortgage as a non-resident?
Some banks lend to non-residents, though terms and the required deposit differ considerably from what a Czech resident would be offered. We introduce you to the lenders worth approaching and are upfront when financing is unlikely to work.
What does the process cost beyond the purchase price?
Budget for legal fees, escrow, Land Registry charges, certified translations where needed, and any tax arising from the transaction. We put the expected figures in front of you before you make an offer, so nothing appears late.
Which languages do you work in?
English throughout, in writing and in person. For meetings, contracts and notarial appointments in other languages, we arrange certified translators and sworn interpreters.
How we work
Distance should not mean guesswork
Correspondence, contracts and meetings in English as standard.
One point of contact
The same agent from first call to handover — you never re-explain your situation to somebody new.
Everything in writing
Offers, costs and next steps confirmed in English by e-mail, so nothing rests on a phone call you half remember.
Independent advisors
The solicitor and tax advisor work for you, not for us. We introduce them; you instruct them.
Professional indemnity
Cover of up to CZK 50 million, and a non-disclosure agreement as standard on sensitive instructions.

Tell us what you are considering
The first conversation is free and carries no obligation. If Czech property is not the right move for you, we will say so.
