Real estate in Marianske Lazne
Low prices in the heart of Europe.
Apartments in the Czech Republic - one of the cheapest in Europe, while demand for them grows year by year.
The Czech Republic is located in the heart of Europe, is a member of the EU and is located in the Schengen area. The most popular are apartments in the capital - Prague and the famous Czech spas - in Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně. A large number of transactions are carried out by investors who buy apartments for the purpose of earning money.
Specialists explain it by the fact that on the rental market in Prague, Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně there is a shortage of supply and all properties are in demand. The rental income is very significant and it covers the loan if the apartment was purchased with a mortgage.
For those who want to buy an apartment in the Czech Republic for living (permanent or for the period of education of their children), popular regions are Prague, its surroundings and mineral water spas of Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně.
Over the last year, the prices of liquid housing in the Czech Republic have not decreased, but it is possible to bargain on purchase. You can now buy an apartment in the Czech Republic on a mortgage with a small interest (2-2.5% per annum).
Today, residential property non-resident in the Czech Republic can be registered not only in a commercial company, but also in private ownership.

Good afternoon, dear friends. Welcome to our channel Pro et contra, Pro and Contra. My name is Larisa. My name is Gennady. Today we wanted to tell you about real estate in Mariánské Lázně. Here, Gennady. Right. What do you know about real estate in Mariánské Lázně? What types of real estate are there in Mariánské Lázně? I'll be honest with you. Everything I know. We lived in Mariánské Lázně for 15 years. All that time we dealt with real estate. We've done a lot of research. I'll share with you the knowledge I have. Real estate in Mariánské Lázně consists of several sections, several sectors. The most interesting sector in our opinion and in the opinion of real estate buyers is new homes. Of course everyone wants a new car, a new boat, and of course a new flat. Unfortunately, as it happens, there are very few building sites in Mariánské Lázně. And to build a new house in the centre is, well, practically unrealistic. In all the time we have lived here, only one new house has been built in the centre. It's the Orsten Residence, next to the post office. Well, there are just a few flats and a small house because there are no places for big houses. Basically all new buildings are being built, but not on the outskirts, not in the centre. Not the centre of Mariánské Lázně, to put it mildly. But, wait here. I'm going to interrupt you. Why are we, now, here in this place. Yes! We are in this place for a reason! The name of this residence is written right here. It's the Pilsen Residency. It consists of two buildings, with a good area for parking. There's a little square with a fountain. It's a good example of new development. The place didn't seem ideal at first, because it was on Pilsenska street, the carriageway. You can probably hear the cars going by. But nevertheless. This residence was built very qualitatively. We followed all the stages of construction and, indeed, there is no compromise. Everything was done perfectly. Insulated facades, perfect layouts, dignified appearance of the houses. And, in general, we were not mistaken. Flats in these residences sold out very quickly, at the stage of, literally, the foundation pit. Secondary appeared a few times, but disappeared at the same rate. Although! Price of secondary in this residence, far exceeded the original purchase price at the trough. People have already tried it. Demand dictates prices. So as soon as a property comes along, it sells out. Okay. [Chuckles] Hold on. Now, I might add, there's not a single offer on this property. I see. Well, tell me what other examples there are of new construction in Mariánské Lázně. Well, there you go. It's a reasonable question. It's not all so rosy. A new house can be built as high quality as the Pilsen one. Well, it was built richly, i.e. of high quality. It is possible to build, taking into account the fact that there is a great demand, by doing something. And there are enough examples of that here. I will not point fingers, there are some objects, even groups of objects, such as neighborhoods of new housing, which were built really badly. I was lucky to be there, too, at these construction sites. To see it all with my own eyes. But, it's just some kind of, well, not cardboard, but some frame boxes, where there is no soundproofing, muddled floors, thin walls. "The walls are thin, the walls are light. Efficient, flawed." Nevertheless, flats in these buildings were selling for serious prices. It is true that secondary houses in these buildings come up often. Secondary prices in these houses are not that high. People have figured out what this construction is all about. And they are not so eager to buy it anymore. There were still two properties on Tepelska Street recently, which we laughed at heartily. How it was built. Anyway, it's a show. What were these houses built of. The impression is that some "sewage" from the construction site was bought. That's what these houses were built out of. Well, still. Well, yeah. And the location. The location, it's a blaze. It's an industrial estate. Practically. On a busy intersection. The corner of Pilsenka and Tepelska. Nothing living nearby. And yet these flats sold out. I don't know how much enthusiasm the inhabitants have for living in these houses. Apart from that, there are several interesting objects, but also not in the centre, from one of the builders. On Zeerova Street and on Dvorzhakov Street. Quite decent houses there. Decently built. But they are not cheap. Good. The approximate price per square meter in these objects. Today, of course, there is no primary housing there. They were built a long time ago. At the moment, depending on the area, 3000, 3200, 3400 euros per meter. That is, well, not budget housing at all. Another object was recently commissioned and practically all sold out. There from the start there were already such prices on the primary market. In the region, 3500 euros per metre. This whole house has sold out. The house is not badly built, but the location is generally such a moot point. There's probably not much else to say about primary housing. There are extremely few properties. The next sector is precisely in the centre of the resort, in houses after reconstruction. Well, we will now move there. We will pause. We will show these properties and tell you about them.

Smile! Cheerful! Yes. Cheerful! Yes! Figaro! Good afternoon, dear friends. Welcome to our channel Pro et contra, Pro and Contra. My name is Larisa. My name is Gennady. Today we continue our story about types of real estate in Mariánské Lázně. Now we will start with perhaps the most attractive, the most attractive type of property in town - villas. Yes. What is it, Gennady? Tell us, please, what is attractive about this type of houses? Pro? Pro. And contra? Well, then we'll talk pro and con. Okay. If there are any. The attractive part. Of course, it is every buyer's dream to live in a mineral water resort in your own beautiful mansion, villa, house. The houses in the villa part, as a rule, are very well located. Most of them are situated in the south of Mariánské Lázně, in parkland, next to the Ferdinand Spring, Rudolf Spring or Antoníčky Pramen. I.e. localisation, localisation, localisation. Most of these houses have plots, which is also a big plus. Another plus is that the houses are not old. As a rule, the villas were built up 100 years ago. Many of these houses are in very good technical condition. Perhaps some of the houses have already undergone, even complete, renovation. Somewhere a partial renovation has taken place. I.e. a characteristic feature of these houses is a very good technical condition. They are also very conveniently located in terms of shops, schools, infrastructure, sports facilities. I have already mentioned the mineral springs, parks and squares. This is a very popular part of Mariánské Lázně. It is pleasant and comfortable to live in. Lots of greenery. It is quiet and there are not many cars. However, good transport accessibility. Given the fact that the houses are private, or may be homes with few owners. Three to five to eight owners. Enough parking and enough space for recreation and relaxation. These are the pluses. Well, are there any cons at all? There are minuses. Or one big plus? No. There are minuses, unfortunately. The disadvantages are in houses that have not been renovated and in which, as we talked about the old buildings, for example, the waterproofing is broken and the drainage is not done. This is a very significant disadvantage, because if a large house can collectively raise money for reconstruction, either partial or complete. But in houses with two, three, five, or eight owners, it is quite difficult to collect the money. It doesn't matter what it is. And reconstruction of communications, and reconstruction of drainage, and replacement of the roof. Here, as a rule, the ceilings are wooden. That is a lot of money and it is quite difficult for the owners to find the money. So when buying a house like this you need to pay attention to the technical condition of the property. That is definitely a minus. The second minus. For those who like to live individually, these are houses with more than one owner. If in a large house the presence of neighbours does not affect you so much. You dissolve into a large number of neighbours, and it does not interfere with your life as much. Here you can encounter a situation where you have 2-3 neighbours, but the relationship is not good. You can also move in, buy a flat in a house where there is already tension between neighbours. They don't want to create a community of owners or engage in some kind of joint reconstruction effort. What they call it, relationships don't work out. If another player is added, it could make the situation worse. Of course improvement is possible. We were in such a situation. We bought two flats, just in a villa house, where in total there were three owners apart from us. Eight flats. And the situation there was tense. So we are not just saying that. These are not empty words. We have lived through it all. In our situation, everything ended well. We managed to negotiate with our neighbours. To organise them somehow. And the house is much better now than when we bought it. So it's a solvable issue. But, as we told you in our previous videos, a lot depends on you. If you don't know Czech, if you don't want to learn it, it will be extremely difficult to arrange. Czechs don't know any languages. Most of them do. Especially Czechs of an age. And if you don't speak Czech, in Czech, there is certainly very little chance. Keep that in mind. But that's about it. Well, also don't forget to say from the minuses - the price. Already forgotten. I'd rather forget about it. By far the most expensive property in Mariánské Lázně. Only some luxury flats in renovated houses can compare to it. Partly it can. Although I think the house in the villa part is more expensive. Yeah. I mean, it's a serious investment, but it's worth it. It's like the centre of Paris. There won't be any more houses like that. There's no room to build private houses here at all. Well, I guess that's enough. Let's move on to our next sites. We'll go to the properties - panel houses and co-operative houses. Let's go? Let's go. We have now moved on to the next type of housing in Mariánské Lázně. These are flats in panel houses. That is, they are panel houses. Gennady. Yes. Tell us about it! Pros? Pro. And the disadvantages of these panel houses. This type of housing. I mean, pros and cons? Pro and contra. For. Panel houses in Mariánské Lázně occupy a significant place. They are not few and they are popular among Czechs and we like them. I will explain why. Pro, i.e. "for". They were built not that long ago. It's about 50 years ago. Not old. In good technical condition. The houses are well maintained. Mostly Czechs live here. The houses have functioning homeowners' associations, there's a board. They are insulated. That is most of the houses are insulated. The houses are very warm. And the heating is organised by the city, centralised. It is the cheapest today. Your heating costs will be optimal. In these houses, most of the windows have been changed. That is plastic windows. Plastic front doors. New roofs. Often, new lifts. Entrances are in very good condition. Large adjacent territory. No problem with parking. In my opinion, this is one of the best deals in the Czech Republic, and in Mariánské Lázně. It is a flat in a panel building. Another plus is the price. Panel houses prices are not high. A flat of 60 metres in very good condition, after renovation, can be bought for 2,000 euros per metre. What are the cons? Cons. There are disadvantages too. The main disadvantage is in the very name of the panel. It is a reinforced concrete construction and the soundproofing in these houses is not ideal, to put it mildly. Well, it is a peculiarity of a building method. There is another weighty but avoidable disadvantage - these are the bathrooms and toilets. Here they are built in all panel houses, without exception. You can visit one flat in a panel building in Mariánské Lázně and you will have a complete picture of the entire panel building stock, not only in Mariánské Lázně, but also in the Czech Republic. This is Umakartové jádro, in Czech. It is a plastic construction, which includes a bathroom, usually with a bathtub, and a toilet. It is installed in the flat as a separate unit. It is a very uncomfortable construction for many reasons. It is plastic, with little insulation inside. You can't hang anything on it, you can't lean on it, you can't glue tiles to it, etc. So it's generally a big problem, but fortunately it's solvable. Given that it's Jadro, it's easy to erect, it's also easy to remove. That is, it can be dismantled. Build, as many people do, on a renovation plan, reconstructing this bathroom. The walls can be built with the same YTONG. Walls can be rebuilt using the same YTONG wall. Civilised. Inside, tiles will be tiled and a modern shower cubicle will be installed. And, it has to be said, many flats in panel buildings have already been reconstructed. And that leaves one disadvantage. That is, this minus with the core can be solved. With soundproofing, I also think it is possible to solve the issue. We have solved this issue in one of our flats. There is a construction solution. It is true that it takes up some space. It is not very significant, but it does. We built a second wall to improve soundproofing. It is about 20 cm square per wall length. After that, the soundproofing became so good that we, on purpose, worked with a perforator, and in the other room Lara was listening to see if she could hear me working with a perforator. No, she didn't. So it's a solvable issue, too. Apart from that, I forgot to mention an important plus - it is an investment opportunity in panel houses. I.e. this investment, in my opinion, is very profitable. Considering that the cost is reasonable. Well, not just in my opinion, but based on experience. Yes. We're actively renting these flats out long-term. It's profitable. It's a stable, conservative income. Panel houses never go down in value. They only go up. Maybe they're not going up that much, but it's a trend. They're going up. Rents are going up. It's a very good investment. I encourage you to think about it. Well, that's probably enough for the review. Yes. It's time to move on to the last one for today. That's co-operative houses, co-operative flats in co-operative houses. Let's go! Let's go! And the last item on our programme today, our video today, is houses with co-operative flats. Gennady! What can you tell us about the flats in these houses? I'll gladly share the information I have. We're on Franz Kafka Street. There are mostly houses with cooperative ownership. In Czech, Družstevní byty. What makes them interesting? Apart from the bright colouring, you could say that they are similar in some respects to panel houses. The façades are insulated, the yard, the roofs, and the plastic windows are in good condition. These are all pluses. It is all for the pros. What are the cons? The uninformed viewer cannot understand. And the biggest negative of these flats and these houses is ownership. Cooperative ownership in the Czech Republic has its own nuances. If you are a happy owner of such a flat you have certain legal consequences. For example if you want to sell the flat. You won't be able to do it easily. But, according to our laws, you must first offer your flat to the residents of your building. Because you don't have title to the flat. You only have title to a share, i.e. to a share. Which is unspecified. Purely technically, you live in a particular flat. It may be written in Stanovách that you are assigned to it. What is Stanovy? Stanovy is a landlord's charter. It is an internal document which is sometimes registered at the Land Registry Office. Nevertheless, it is a formal attachment of a flat. If the owners refuse to buy your flat voluntarily, you need their consent to sell it. They may not give this consent. I.e. they do not want to have other neighbours. This is a legal problem which is quite difficult to deal with. Also, if you want to rent out the apartment for a long or short term, you will face the same problem. And in this case, you have very little chance. There is no way you can get the owners of the house to agree to that. And in that way you will not have the right to rent out the flat. The most amazing thing is that in spite of all the wonders, the flats in the buildings are being sold without any discounts. I.e. the regular price without any discount. For this level of housing. And these houses on Franz Kafka are on the outskirts of our city. Of the pluses, I also forgot to say parking. There's plenty of parking, but that's not uncommon on the outskirts of the city. Well, that's probably enough about this type of housing. In principle, we probably end this video with an overview of housing types in Mariánské Lázně. This is where we say goodbye. Goodbye.
