Buying property in the Czech Republic: the real estate purchase agreement

Where problems arise

What to watch out for in a purchase agreement

  1. Agreements from real estate agencies

    Real estate agencies are not attorneys. Their agreements tend to be standard forms that primarily protect the seller, not the buyer.

  2. Templates from the internet

    Purchase agreement templates found online often hide more risks than benefits. A purchase agreement looks simple – which is exactly why it is underestimated.

  3. Hidden defects in the property

    Damp, structural problems, poor-quality construction work. After the purchase, they mean significant repair costs.
