Thanks to our experience with financing development projects, we can help you set up a mortgage that best suits your needs, as well as your purchase schedule.

With us, the mortgage is part of the whole process – from selecting an investment apartment to renting it out and property management.

 

What we can do for you:
 

  • The most favorable terms on the market thanks to direct cooperation with banks
  • Selection of the most suitable bank and negotiation of individual terms
  • Free property appraisal
  • Preparation of complete documentation for the bank
  • Communication with the developer and bank regarding the drawing of the loan
  • Ensuring the signing of the pledge agreement and its submission to the land register
  • Supervision of the approval process until the mortgage is drawn

A mortgage is not a debt. It is a tool to accelerate the path to wealth.

What does financial leverage look like in practice? A client who invested CZK 770,000 of his own funds in a Waltrovka apartment in 2017 has seen his capital grow by 32.5% per year. See the case study →

10 myths about mortgages

1.

A mortgage = a debt that ties me down.

Reality: A mortgage is not debt, but leverage. It allows you to own more property sooner—and inflation devalues debt, not property.

2.

When I buy an apartment on credit, I hardly own it.

Reality: The apartment is yours from day one. The bank only has a lien – you have the increase in value.

3.

It is better to live without debt.

Reality: Without a mortgage, you deprive yourself of leverage that can increase the value of your capital 2–4 times faster. Smart debt is a tool, not a trap.

4.

Interest is money down the drain.

Reality: Interest is the price for the opportunity to own 100% of the assets with minority capital. In addition, interest can be effectively deducted from taxes.

5.

A mortgage is a risk, because what if I lose my job?

Reality: You can insure against risk. But even if you do, the property remains yours—and its value continues to grow.

6.

When I have cash, it's better to buy one apartment without a loan.

Reality: When you divide the same cash among several apartments and use a mortgage, your assets grow exponentially faster.

7.

Mortgages are not worthwhile due to inflation and high interest rates.

Reality: Inflation increases the value of real estate and reduces the value of debt. High rates are not permanent, but property remains.

8.

A mortgage is complicated and restrictive.

Reality: Today, mortgages can be set up flexibly – with special repayments, fixed-rate periods, and tax benefits. We tailor mortgages to suit your needs.

9.

I can only take out a mortgage when I earn a lot.

Reality: How you work with money is more important. Those who know how to use leverage will earn more even with a smaller income.

10.

I will pay off my mortgage as quickly as possible so I can have peace of mind.

Reality: This means you lose leverage. The capital you put into repayments is more effectively reinvested—and thus earns more than interest.

Frequently asked questions about a mortgage for an investment apartment

We most often invest in 1+kk (studio) apartments priced from CZK 6 500 000 to 8 000 000, or 2+kk (one-bedroom) apartments priced from CZK 8 000 000 to 11 000 000. When investing through our company, which also handles the search and the preparation of the property, you should budget for the following costs:

  • Your own share of the purchase price is 10 – 20 % of the purchase price.
  • A search fee of 3 % + VAT of the purchase price.
  • The cost of preparing a newly built developer apartment – most often CZK 200,000–400,000 for a complete new kitchen including appliances, a washing machine, blinds and lights. For older new builds it is roughly CZK 50 000 (deep cleaning, painting, minor repairs).

A simple rule says that as an individual you always get a better loan and lower taxation than when buying apartments through a company set up for that purpose. Each option has its merits.

Individual: The interest rate is roughly 1.5% lower and the loan is usually 10 – 15 years longer, so the instalment is much lower overall. On top of that, income tax is usually zero for the first 12 years. Rental income keeps improving your creditworthiness and helps you obtain further loans you may want to use for additional purchases.

Company: The main advantage is asset protection – if another company or trade of yours runs into trouble, the assets held here are protected. The main disadvantage is the double taxation of income: first 21% corporate income tax, and then another 15% when the money is transferred to you.

Approximately 1 month; most loans are signed directly in our office.

Yes, gladly.

We can work with more complex situations too (self-employed applicants, several sources of income, foreign clients).

Nothing; all services including the administration and advice are provided free of charge.
