This is an absolute necessity in every real estate transaction. Whether you are purchasing an apartment, house, apartment building, commercial property, or development project, without thorough due diligence you expose yourself to significant risks. Do not buy a\u00a0pig in a\u00a0poke - invest in certainty and security for your property, practice shows it really pays off.<\/p>\n
We have a\u00a0team of experts with extensive experience in conducting due diligence for real estate transactions. We do this regularly and know what to focus on. This article reveals what you should verify before purchasing real estate.<\/p>\n
Due diligence (legal audit) is a\u00a0comprehensive process where we thoroughly analyze all legal, technical, and economic aspects of a\u00a0property. The goal is to uncover any defects, risks, or hidden liabilities before signing the purchase agreement.<\/p>\n
Without due diligence, you risk purchasing property with legal defects, hidden debts, or technical problems that will cost you thousands of crowns extra.<\/p>\n
We determine who the actual owner of the property is, whether shares are encumbered by lien rights, preemptive rights, or other transfer restrictions. We also verify the history of transfers and any related litigation.<\/p>\n
We check whether the property is properly registered in the cadastre, whether there are easements, executions, pledges, or other legal defects. We also verify whether there are claims secured by lien rights on the property.<\/p>\n
We verify that the seller does not have any critical liabilities that could jeopardize the transaction. We primarily verify pledge and other property rights, perform a\u00a0mini audit of the seller, and validate existing liabilities such as lease agreements.<\/p>\n
We analyze all contracts related to the property - lease agreements, energy supply contracts, services, and maintenance. We determine whether these contracts can be terminated or assumed and what obligations arise from them.<\/p>\n
We cooperate with technical inspection experts who assess the construction-technical condition of the property. We check load-bearing structures, wiring, insulation, roof, and other critical elements, including the building energy performance certificate.<\/p>\n
We verify whether the property complies with the zoning plan, whether there are planned constructions nearby that could reduce the property value, and whether the property has the necessary permits and occupancy certificates.<\/p>\n
For apartment units, we analyze the condition of the homeowners association (HOA). We check the budget, potential HOA debts, receivables, ownership structure, and inquire about the association ability to effectively manage the building.<\/p>\n

The price of due diligence depends on the scope of the transaction and type of property, usually ranging between CZK 40,000-130,000\u00a0without VAT for apartment buildings and industrial properties. For a\u00a0standard apartment or house, it ranges between CZK 7,000-15,000\u00a0separately, which is often one of the recommended extensions of standard real estate transfer documentation. It includes legal verification, possibly technical inspection (service beyond scope) and other specialized services described in 1\u00a0to 6. However, the investment in due diligence always pays off - whether through savings on repairs, negotiating a\u00a0better price, or avoiding legal problems.<\/p>\n
