Escrow Accounts in Czech Republic - How to Use Them for a Property Sale or Purchase
An escrow account managed by an independent trustee is a critical part of buying or selling real estate and property in Czech Republic. This video explains how it functions and who can be the trustee of the escrow account.
Let's look briefly at an escrow account and how it functions in the purchase and sale of real estate in Czech Republic.
The reason it exists is because of the needs of both the buyer and the seller. The seller wants to be sure that he will get the purchase price for his property when he transfers ownership to the buyer. The buyer, on the other hand, wants to be sure that the property will really be transferred to him when he pays the purchase money.
Because of this it is common to use and it's recommended to use an escrow account which is administered by an independent party. A three-part agreement is concluded between the buyer, the seller, and the independent third party.
Let's look at an example of how this works. The buyer and the seller agree on a purchase price for the property. They conclude a three-part agreement with the trustee regarding the escrow account. The buyer sends the purchase price for the property to the escrow account. The escrow account administrator then informs both parties that the agreed amount of money is on his account. They, at this point, conclude a purchase contract and register it to the land registry. After it's evident that the buyer is the new owner of the property, the trustee releases the purchase price to the seller.
This can be done a little bit different order but this is the basics of it.
It's very important in Czech Republic to make sure that the seller pays the 3% transfer tax so this is often withheld by the trustee until there's evidence that the seller pays it because otherwise it becomes the obligation of the buyer to pay this.
Who can work as a trustee?
First of all it can be a public notary, it can be a bank, it can be a solicitor, or really it can be any one who works as an independent third party.
Generally speaking, the notary charges the most but his exact fees are determined by Czech law.
Banks charge less than the notary, their fees are typically around 0.2% of the deposited amount with a minimum fee of $4000 to $9000.
With a solicitor you can usually negotiate the price of the escrow. Sometimes real estate companies offer to act as escrow agent; you'd have to be really careful in this case because they're not governed by law and it would be very hard to recover your money in case it was taken.
So I hope this explains the basic use of an escrow in Czech Republic.

Czech Republic property price forecast for 2017 and 2016 real estate overview
Prague property prices in 2016 continued to soar:
In this video Pavel Pařízek, director of CZECH POINT 101, discusses what has happened in 2016 with regards to Czech real estate and what he expects to happen in 2017.
What effect will the Czech National Bank's tightening of mortgage requirements have? Why are the number of new projects being approved affect forecasts for 2017? Pavel discusses these and other matters affecting the property market.
Here is a transcript of the entire interview:
Czech Republic property price forecast for 2017 and 2016 real estate overview
So, what do you expect in 2017, what will the market look like?
Well, we had really beautiful year in 2016 with regards to value of the properties. We have seen the properties increasing about 8-13% and we also think that it would be coming up next year as well little bit, but it would be influenced by many factors.
So, what are the factors?
Mainly I think it would be the mortgage situation in Czech Republic.
What does it mean?
Basically, up to know or month ago, you could take even 100% LTV mortgage. But since 1 November it is only possible to take 95% LTV mortgage and since April 2017 you would be eligible only for max of 90% LTV mortgage. That is the restriction from the Czech National Bank, so the market is not overheated.
Ok, and I have heard that there is some change in transferred TAX.
Yes, the transferred tax used to be paid primarily by the seller but again since this year the buyer needs to pay the transferred tax which is additional 4% that needs to be covered from his own sources.
And will it be possible to finance it through bank?
Some banks do offer it that you can take this 4% but still it could be up to 90% LTV mortgage. Which would mean that you would be only eligible for 86% LTV mortgage and then additional 4% it would be covered by the bank. And this would leave you with having 14% from your own sources that you would need to invest anyway.
And do you know about any other factors that you expect that will influence the market in 2017?
The big unknown is the Czech National Bank because we know that the Czech National Bank is buying Euros so the currency exchange rate Czech crown into Euro is above 27 Crowns but they announced that they should waive the restrictions in the half of 2017. If they do so, it may also influence the demand and the supply in the Czech Republic and how many foreigners would go and invest into properties which then may also influence the increasing or decreasing value of the properties.
Ok, we will see. And what about the properties that are still available on the market. Is there sufficient supply or not?
Well, there is currently very strong demand for properties and the Czech developers they are not managing to build the new development projects so fast so it is happening that the people are buying even older flats and the sellers that have really hard time two years ago to sell their properties for a decent price, right now are selling it for increase about 8-10%. So, this is one factor that would push the price a bit higher that we do not have so many available flats for sale.
Ok, so when you sum it up. It means that market will be steady or will rise or drop down...?
Well, we expect market definitely to go up. If I would be holding at a bottom then I would see at least about 4% but as we see it may go even around 6-7% next year.
Thank you for your thought.

Product page
Today we start in the Republic’s second city Brno. We approach from the south over the first steam powered railway of the Austro Hungarian Empire. In Brno we look at the extensive tram and trolleybus system, the main station Brno hl, and the suburban network before discussing the prospects, and implications, of a new station on a new site. From hl we move north to Maloměřický yard the largest classification yard in the Czech Republic. Here we watch trains from across Eastern Europe being re-marshalled and trip freights being prepared for local duties. While Maloměřický is a relatively modern facility, it has one or two throwbacks to an earlier age that we think you will enjoy! From Brno we travel to Znojmo a small town on the Czech Austrian border near the Austrian town of Retz. Here the electrification is at 15kv AC and OBB City Shuttle trains now work a regular service to Vienna. There is also considerable cross border freight, some very short runs while some wagons head for Kledering and international connections. We continue further west to the home of beer in the Republic- České Budějovice. The town of 100,000 is also an important rail cross roads Plzeň to Brno and Prague to Linz. We look at both services and the international freight over this important but largely unrecognised TEN freight corridor. Narrated filmed in HD. RT 80 mins. Published March 2013. ©FHP 2013
