≈ +0.4% over the price. The 4% real-estate transfer tax was abolished for acquisitions effective April 2025 — the seller-paid era is over. What remains is notary plus katastr (cadastre) registration, well under 0.5%. The katastr’s entry is the title; the purchase contract needs notarization of signatures only.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposits run one to three months, often two.
  • Leases commonly run 12 months with a 3-month notice period.
  • Fixed-term leases end automatically — a Czech tenancy renews only if both sides agree.

Prague prices off tourism and tech wages; Brno off engineering; the spa towns off German retirees.

Conveyancing completes with registration in the Czech Real Estate Cadastre (Katastr nemovitostí). Following the abolition of the 4% property transfer tax, transaction costs for buyers are among the lowest in Central Europe.

Leases are governed by the Czech Civil Code, allowing standard 1-year renewable fixed terms, security deposits capped at 3 months rent, and transparent annual utility reconciliations (poplatky).
