Invest with us
Demand for property in the Czech Republic is heavily outstripping supply. It has been estimated that a total of 50,000 properties need to be constructed per annum for 10 years before supply and demand are on a parity. In 2004 only 35,000 dwellings will be built, this leaves a large potential for growth. Only 1.5 per cent of Czech properties were sold to foreign investors in 2003, but this trend is changing.

Key personel
Of the two founding partners, Jakub Kotan and William Guard one half is Czech the other British respectively. This allows for the perfect mix of perspective to create a well-informed understanding before investing. The backgrounds of the partners are very broad both having worked for top companies such as PricewaterhouseCoopers and The Economist. We pride our business on constant client contact and approachability with a minimal amount of impersonal sales-speak that often clouds and deters a successful purchase.
