What a flat costs to buy
For comparison with rent: flats in Plzeň sold in 2025 for an average of CZK 73 399 per m², according to actual purchase contracts, not estate agents' asking prices; compared with the year before that is +15 %. A typical 2+kk of around 55 m² therefore comes to roughly CZK 4.0 million, as much as 24.8 years of rent. That leaves out mortgage interest, the building's repair fund and the fact that prices and rents keep rising.
What to think about besides the rent
- Advance payments for services and energy. Heating, water, the lift and cleaning of the building are paid in advance and settled once a year. In a panel block on an estate with district heating, expect different amounts than in a tenement house with a gas boiler.
- Deposit. A landlord may ask for at most three months' rent and must return it when the tenancy ends. More in the guide tenancy agreement, deposit and notice.
- Agency fee. When you rent through an estate agency, a one-off fee is often added, usually one month's rent.
- Students. Around the University of West Bohemia campus in Bory and in the centre, smaller flats and flatshares are in demand mainly before the semester starts; in September, search well ahead.
- The exact address. Before you sign, check the address: the nearest schools, doctors, park, air quality and whether the building lies in a flood zone.
