When
When to have a property checked
Ideally between the viewing and the reservation. The reservation fee is often non-refundable - it pays to know more before you pay it.

Too late for that? A Property Check still helps during the reservation, before you sign the purchase contract.
What you learn
What a property check tells you
The Property Check suits houses, flats, plots and cottages - every type of property. It answers the questions almost every buyer asks.
Could it flood here?
Flood zones from the 5-year to the 500-year flood, a terrain profile from the river through the house and flash floods.
Is the house connected to utilities?
We ask the network operators ourselves. You see what the listing says, what the register records and what the operator confirmed, with drawings.
Can I reach the house by a public road?
Who owns the access road and the neighbouring plots, and whether access to a public road is secured.
Is there an easement or restriction?
Easements, protection zones, heritage and nature protection, boundary accuracy and areas against the land register.
What can be built next door?
The full zoning plan including the neighbouring areas, planned construction with dates and distances, and projects nearby.
How much sun and quiet will I get?
Hours of sunlight on the facades in summer and winter, shadows hour by hour, noise and aircraft overflights.
How far are the school, shops and morning bus?
Walking times to shops, school and the doctor, real morning departures from timetables and driving times.
What is in the ground and the air?
Radon, landslides, undermining, air quality and an environmental radar within 3 km, with traffic lights.
For flats also the owners' association and companies registered in the building, for plots soil quality and what the zoning plan allows. All chapters and data sources: location analysis

FAQ
What buyers ask
Will the seller or the agent find out that I am checking the property?
No. Every order is confidential and we tell the other side nothing. We request statements from network operators in the name of nmvt.
Can you make it before I sign the reservation?
You get the Property Check within 48 hours on working days from the address. Network operators usually reply within minutes to hours, by law they have up to 30 days - anything that comes later we add. If you are in a hurry, mention the date in your message.
Do you need the seller's consent or access to the house?
No. An address or a link to the listing is enough. We work with publicly available and official sources and do not visit the house.
Is the Property Check in English?
The Property Check itself is in Czech, like the official documents it is based on. We speak Czech and English and are happy to explain the findings.
The agent says they already have a Property Check. Do I need my own?
The Property Check is the same for everyone, so the agent can show it to you. Your own is useful if you want the whole of it, including the network operators' documents to download.
Does it work for a flat, a plot or a cottage too?
Yes. For a plot, utilities, zoning and access matter most, for a flat the building and surroundings, for a house floods, utilities and radon.
How is it different from a technical inspection or a lawyer?
The Property Check covers the place and public records: risks, utilities, land register, zoning and surroundings. A surveyor assesses the building, a lawyer the purchase contract and escrow. We do not estimate the price.
How do I pay?
The price is CZK 5,900 and it is final. We send the invoice with a QR code together with the finished Property Check.
