Prices are final – I’m not registered for VAT. Deadlines run from the moment I have all the documents. The Land Registry fee for the registration application (CZK 1,600) is paid separately.

How it works

From documents to payout

  1. Send the documents

    The address or title (LV) number and the details of the parties. It takes ten minutes.

  2. Contracts within 72 hours

    We go through them together and fine-tune the final version.

  3. Signing

    You have the signatures certified at a Czech POINT or by a notary, following my guide.

  4. Money into escrow

    The buyer sends the purchase price to escrow, and the bank reports every movement.

  5. Land Registry and payout

    After registration, usually within 3–4 weeks, I pay you out no later than the next working day.

The buyer’s money sits in attorney escrow supervised by the Czech Bar Association, in a separate account protected by the Guarantee Fund. How escrow protects your money →

FAQ

What sellers ask most

How much does a lawyer cost for selling an apartment?

With me CZK 14,900 in total: the purchase contract, attorney escrow and the Land Registry through to payout. Priority within 24 hours costs CZK 24,990. The Land Registry fee of CZK 1,600 is paid separately.

I’m selling without an agency. What will you handle?

Everything around the contracts and the money: the reservation and purchase contracts, attorney escrow, the Land Registry and the handover protocol. I work online across the Czech Republic and you get the contracts within 72 hours.

Will the contracts be in English?

Yes. Every contract I draft is bilingual Czech–English at no extra cost. The Land Registry works with the Czech version, so you always see exactly what you are signing.

What if the buyer brings their own lawyer?

Great, that is their right. My contracts stand up to outside review, and I will deal with any comments for you.

I’m selling through an agency. What do I need you for?

The agency sells; the contracts and the money are my job. I will run the money through attorney escrow supervised by the Czech Bar Association, not through an operating account.

The buyer is paying with a mortgage. Will it delay the sale?

It does not have to. I will align the escrow with the mortgage agreement and the buyer’s bank.

Do I need to come to your office for anything?

No. Everything can be done online. You have your signature on the purchase contract certified at a post office with a Czech POINT desk or by a notary. If you would like me there in person, I will come anywhere in the Czech Republic, certify the signatures on the spot and convert them to electronic form – no post office or notary needed. It costs CZK 4,990.

Will I pay tax on the sale?

That mainly depends on how long you have owned the property. A basic check of the holding-period test is included; more complex situations we will go through in a consultation.
