What clients ask
Didn’t find your question? Ask us directly →
Is cooperation on a retainer or per instruction?
Both are possible. For regular transaction volumes, a monthly retainer is often more cost-effective and also guarantees capacity and deadlines. Lower volumes suit recurring instructions with an agreed price list. We tailor the terms to your figures and agree them in advance.
What are your agreement delivery times?
Deadlines form part of the written cooperation agreement and reflect the transaction types you handle. Standard transactions are usually handled within a few working days, with urgent cases prioritised by agreement.
Our client is buying in Czechia — can you cover that too?
Yes. We are registered with both the Czech and Slovak Bar Associations, so a Czech element is no reason to find another firm. We also prepare documents in Czech and explain differences between the two legal systems to clients.
Will a lawyer slow down our transactions?
Quite the opposite — that is precisely why deadlines are agreed in advance. Agents have direct contact, templates are ready, and we check agreements and filings so that the Land Register does not return them. Fewer suspended proceedings mean faster transaction completion and commission payment.
We have our own templates — must we discard them?
No. We review them, correct risky provisions and continue keeping them current. We change only what is actually needed.
Why offer clients authorisation and lawyer escrow?
With authorisation, the lawyer takes responsibility for the agreement's content and that liability is insured. Escrow protects both parties' purchase funds. For the agency, this is a competitive advantage: you can offer clients a secure transfer as part of your service.
Legal Q&A
Common questions on this topic
-
What must an estate agency agreement contain?
Under an estate agency agreement, the agency undertakes activities aimed at concluding a property agreement, and the client undertakes to pay commission. The agreement should clearly define its scope, commission amount and payment date, duration, any exclusivity, and the agent’s duties. Where the client is a consumer, additional protection applies, including a ban on unfair terms.

When does a real estate agency become entitled to commission?
It depends on the brokerage agreement. Under the Commercial Code, commission generally becomes due as an entitlement when the brokered agreement is concluded. If commission is tied only to securing an opportunity to enter into an agreement, entitlement arises once that opportunity is secured. For a consumer client, remuneration is payable only if the result was achieved through the broker’s efforts.

How does a reservation agreement work, and what happens to the reservation fee?
A reservation agreement is an unnamed contract: the law does not regulate it specifically, but it is valid if it does not conflict with the law’s content or purpose. Its wording is decisive, particularly the parties’ commitments and what happens to the reservation fee if no purchase agreement is concluded. An agreement with a consumer must not contain unfair terms.

Land consolidation: what owners can influence and why silence means consent
Land consolidation reorganises ownership across an area: original plots disappear and owners receive new ones. Several procedural windows allow influence over the outcome. Missing them means silence counts as consent in both Slovakia and Czechia, and decisions proceed without you.
