What is shaping the Czech property market, and where is it worth investing in property? We bring you the latest developments from the property world. 

The number of unoccupied flats in the Czech Republic is rising – there are 860,000  

While demand for affordable housing is growing rapidly, more than 860,000 flats in the Czech Republic remain unoccupied. This is shown by a new study from the Ministry for Regional Development, based on data from the 2021 Census and expert analyses. Around 577,000 of these flats have been unused long term, including approximately 200,000 in apartment buildings. These are not only old and dilapidated flats – they often include newly built properties held as investments that remain vacant. The largest numbers of unused flats are in major cities such as Prague, Brno, Ostrava and Pilsen. The state therefore plans to bring at least 2,000 of these vacant flats onto the market each year through incentive schemes for owners; for example, CZK 8 billion has been earmarked for renovations. Is this a solution to the housing crisis? Rather, it is a partial step – without new construction, the situation will not improve substantially.

Rental housing as the future: Česká spořitelna invests in affordable housing  

In recent years, the Czech housing market has begun to change significantly – developers and property funds are increasingly turning their attention to the construction of rental housing. They have recognised that, due to rising property prices, an ever-growing share of people will choose renting instead of home ownership. This trend, common for years in countries to the west of us, is also gaining momentum in the Czech Republic – and Česká spořitelna has seized the opportunity by launching an ambitious rental housing project in Prague through its subsidiary Dostupné bydlení ČS. It has secured financing of EUR 60 million from the European Investment Bank for its implementation. This will create more than 700 new flats intended for long-term rental. Rents will be 20 % lower than market rents, with priority given in particular to employees in healthcare, education and public administration.
