Investing in property in Hradec Králové continues to pay off in 2025/2026, albeit with certain specifics. The city retains its position as one of the most expensive and stable locations in the region, making it a safe haven for more conservative investors, while also reducing immediate rental returns.
Rental trends
Average price per m²: In January 2025, the average rental price was around 251 CZK/m². During the year, there was a significant increase and at the turn of 2025/2026 (January 2026), the price reached 307 CZK/m². This represents a substantial year-on-year increase of over 22%, which is above average nationally.
Monthly rent (60 m²): The average rent for a 60 m² flat was around CZK 16,000–17,000 in mid-2025, with prices even higher in some locations and for newer flats. Smaller flats (studio flats and 1+kk), which are in high demand in Hradec due to the university, saw the sharpest price rises: from CZK 8,000–9,000 (in 2020) to the current CZK 12,000–15,000 per month.
