How to Safely Sell an Inherited Property in Prague

Everything you need to know before you start

Have you inherited a property in Prague and don’t know where to start? It might be a valuable asset – but also a legal and emotional challenge. This article will walk you through the full process, show you what to watch out for, and explain why you don't need a certified court appraiser.

Property Valuation for the Probate Process – Free if we work together

During probate (inheritance) proceedings, the notary will ask for a market valuation of the property. Many people believe they need to hire a court-appointed expert, but that’s not true.

✅ A market-based valuation prepared by a certified real estate agent is fully sufficient and commonly accepted by notaries throughout the Czech Republic.

💰 Valuation pricing:

• Standalone valuation only (no sale): CZK 2,000 – 5,000

• Valuation as part of selling the property with me: FREE

I believe in transparency. If you plan to sell, the valuation is free. If you only need a standalone estimate for the notary and don't plan to sell, I’ll prepare it for a reasonable fee.

When can you legally sell an inherited property?

You can only sell the property after:

• The inheritance process is complete

• The property is officially registered in your name in the Land Registry

If there are multiple heirs, I recommend reaching an agreement early to avoid future legal complications.

Why online listings won't tell you the real price

Listings on property portals show asking prices, not actual selling prices. As a REMAX-certified agent with ISO certification, I have access to real transaction data in your local market. This allows me to estimate the true market value based on location, condition, demand, and recent sales – not assumptions.

Legal and tax implications of selling inherited property

In many cases, the sale of an inherited property is tax-exempt. Rules are specific, and it’s important to evaluate your situation carefully.

I cooperate with legal experts and provide:

• A legally sound purchase contract

• Land Registry filings

• Secure escrow for purchase funds
