Calculate rentConcerns about non-paying tenants are very common among property owners – and rightly so. We therefore recommend screening prospective tenants first. We carry out thorough checks against several debtor registers to minimise the risk of problematic tenants as much as possible. For reference, take a look at the enforcement statistics, which provide clear figures.
Number of enforcement proceedings against individuals: 3 015 548
Average number of enforcement proceedings per individual debtor: 5,1
Average age of an individual debtor subject to enforcement: 47 years

What is driving the Czech property market, where is it worth investing in property, and what affects the rental housing market? We bring you the latest developments from the property world.
Energy efficiency is reflected not only in lower housing costs, but also in the level of rent itself. European studies show that energy-efficient flats can command higher rent than comparable units with a poorer energy rating. New research into the Czech market reaches similar conclusions, finding that tenants are willing to pay more for more energy-efficient homes. For new builds, the average difference between individual energy categories is 6,3%; for refurbished flats or flats in very good condition, it is 7,9%; and for older flats in good condition, it can be as much as 9,7%.
The differences between individual categories can be explained by the fact that newly constructed buildings generally have higher energy efficiency, meaning that differences in energy performance are less pronounced than in older flats. The findings confirm that investment in energy savings not only reduces operating costs, but also increases a property's appeal and its potential to achieve higher rent.

According to the latest data from the Czech Statistical Office, construction started on 5 100 flats in April 2026, representing an 89,7% year-on-year increase. The strong growth was driven by both the construction of family houses and the launch of several large-scale housing projects, particularly in Prague. Building authorities also issued 5 889 building permits in April, a year-on-year increase of 14,7%. This is a positive signal for future market development, as the growing volume of projects under construction will gradually bring more new flats onto the market.
By contrast, the number of completed flats fell. In April, 2 582 flats were completed, 10,7% fewer than in the same period last year. New flats are therefore entering the market more slowly than would correspond to the long-term demand for housing, particularly in major cities. The insufficient supply of new flats continues to put upward pressure on property prices and rents.
