Rental Yields and Market
– Rental yields in the area average at 7% and the market is very strong. The majority of local Czech residents rent properties instead of purchasing them and only a very small percentage of Czech nationals actually have a mortgage. Most properties rent within 4 weeks for at least 6 months to a year.
Expected Growth
– Capital growth in the areas is expected to be up to 25% per annum with some parts of Prague and the surrounding areas achieving growth rates of up to 30% per annum. The demand for new build property is pushing prices higher and higher and therefore growth rates are soaring. As the younger generation earn higher salaries and more and more people are purchasing property the prices are rising, and investors getting in on developments in the earlier stages are taking advantage of the high growth rates.
Exit Strategy
– As we currently have an office in London as well as Prague we will be able to sell your property for you on the local market to and end user or to a new investor. If you are looking for a quick return on your money a development like Blue Gardens is perfect with a long completion date there is plenty of time to assign the contract to a new investor before you complete with no property transfer tax, income tax or capital gains tax to pay in the Czech Republic. However, there is also a good reason to hold on to the property for slightly longer. After 5 years of ownership, there is no capital gains tax to pay in the Czech Republic. Whatever way you want to make your money and manage your investment property we will be happy to help.
