Preparing agreements and registration applications
For every client transaction, the agent orders a complete transfer service: the reservation agreement, sale, gift, exchange or tenancy agreement, lawyer authorisation, purchase price escrow and Land Register application. The client receives an agreement from a lawyer with insured liability and handles everything in one place. Your agency gains a competitive advantage, while agreement drafting, which is not the agent's role, passes to the lawyer.
- The entire transfer in one place
- Authorisation — no notary visit for the client
- Prices agreed in advance
What we'll do for you
The agent orders agreement services for a specific transaction through a consistent process, with deadlines and prices agreed in advance. We cover the transaction from reservation to registration of the new owner.

-
Property transfer agreements
Sale agreements for flats, houses and land, gift and exchange agreements — tailored to each transaction's terms, including mortgage financing.
-
Reservation and future agreements
The reservation agreement and agreement to enter into a sale agreement are linked so that they follow one another and the reservation deposit is properly addressed.
-
Tenancy and lease agreements
Flats, houses and non-residential premises — when your client is letting rather than transferring property.
-
Lawyer escrow of the purchase price
The price in a separate escrow account, released to the seller only after registration is approved. Security for both parties and a strong benefit for your clients.
-
Agreement authorisation without visiting authorities
We authorise the sale agreement as a Slovak lawyer: verifying the parties' identities, assessing its content and taking responsibility. The Land Register does not require separate certification of the transferor's signature for an authorised property transfer agreement (§ 42(3) of the Cadastral Act), so the client need not visit a registry office or notary and can complete the transaction with us. We prepare the agreement to pass first time: after filing, clerical, calculation and other obvious errors can be corrected only by an addendum (§ 42(4)), meaning both parties and signatures must be obtained again. Where authorisation is not used, we can verify signatures as a Czech lawyer.
-
Registration application and monitoring proceedings
We file electronically at a reduced administrative fee and monitor Land Register proceedings until registration is approved. We respond to notices for you.

How it works
Does this process fit your matter? Describe it to the attorney →
- The agent sends instructionsday 0
Through a consistent process established at the start of cooperation — agents know what to send, so we need not chase basic details.
- We deliver the agreementswithin the agreed deadline
We prepare complete transaction documentation within the deadline agreed when cooperation starts. We incorporate and explain the parties' comments.
- Signing, escrow and registration
The parties sign at our office and we authorise the agreement at the same time. The price goes into lawyer escrow and we file the registration application electronically. We monitor proceedings through registration of the new owner.
The model is simple: you sell, we provide the agreements. For every transaction, the agent orders complete agreement support for their client — from the reservation agreement through the sale, gift or exchange agreement and lawyer escrow to the registration application and monitoring Land Register proceedings.
Your agency gains two things at once. It offers clients a transaction with lawyer-drafted agreements — insured responsibility for their content, purchase price escrow and completed registration — a competitive advantage no downloaded template can replace. At the same time, the contractual legal service is provided by a lawyer with mandatory professional indemnity insurance. This reduces the agency’s risks when preparing agreements; the agency nevertheless remains responsible for its own acts.

Why can an agent not draft a transfer agreement?
Drafting property transfer agreements constitutes legal services, reserved to lawyers and notaries. An agent who drafts or amends agreements themselves exposes both themselves and the agency to risk. A lawyer bears distinct professional responsibility and has mandatory professional indemnity insurance. This does not exclude the agent's and agency's responsibility for their own acts.
How quickly will you deliver? Transactions cannot wait.
We agree deadlines in writing at the start, according to your transaction types. Standard instructions are usually completed within a few working days, with urgent cases prioritised by agreement. We always respond to an agent's instruction within 24 hours, so you know when to expect the agreement.
How does an agent order the service, and what do you need?
At the start, we establish a consistent process: the agent sends property identification, party details and transaction terms, ideally with the reservation agreement. We request anything else together, not piecemeal. Agents therefore know exactly what to prepare, and instructing us takes minutes.
Do you also cover gifts, exchanges and lettings?
Yes. Besides sale agreements, we prepare gift and exchange agreements with registration applications, and tenancy or lease agreements for flats, houses and non-residential premises. One firm handles whatever arises in your clients' transactions.
Who does the lawyer work for in the transaction — the agency or client?
Your agency orders agreement services for the parties to a specific transaction. We prepare balanced agreements so the transfer proceeds safely for both sides. We set scope and billing according to your business model — whether the service is included in your commission or the client pays directly.
What if the Land Register suspends proceedings?
We check both the agreement and registration application before filing specifically to avoid suspension — formal errors are its most common cause. If the Land Register nevertheless issues a notice, we prepare the response for you. Fewer suspended proceedings mean faster completion and earlier commission payment.
Legal Q&A
Common questions on this topic
-
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.

May a real estate agency draft property purchase agreements itself?
Regularly drafting documents recording legal acts for remuneration constitutes legal services reserved to attorneys. A real estate agency regularly drafting purchase agreements in this way would provide legal services without authorisation. Moreover, only an attorney may authorise a property transfer agreement, meaning draft it and confirm its compliance with the law.

We are contributing real estate to an s. r. o. When does the company become its owner?
Only when ownership is registered in the land register, rather than when the company comes into existence. Rights to other contributions in kind pass to the company on incorporation, but the Commercial Code makes an exception for real estate. The document required for the land register is the contributor's written declaration with a certified signature, rather than an agreement. Until registration is approved, the company does not own the property, and the member risks having to pay the contribution's value in cash.
