Home search services
Locating the right property for you at the right budget can be a lengthy process; especially if you are neither in Czech nor fluent in Czech. This is where A Simpler Life comes in.
With the help of a detailed questionnaire and personal contact we determine together exactly what you are looking for, not only in terms of the property itself but in terms of financing, return on your investment and timing. We then contact estate agencies and private property owners in search of your new home.
We will explain the entire process to you and keep you apprised of your progress on a regular basis. We narrow down the selection by pre-visiting the properties and sending you photographs along with accurate details of each selection by email. You only visit the properties that meet your criteria.
When you do come over to Czech, the appointments will have been made for you and you will be accompanied to each visit if you wish. We serve as both translator and guide and can even arrange your travel plans.
Once you have found the property that best suits you, we negotiate the purchase price on your behalf. Should you need financing for your purchase, a mortgage broker and etc.
Once your property purchased, we can place you in the caring hands of our architectural and design teams to renovate and decorate your home. Whilst you may choose to reside permanently in your home we are available to manage your property as a holiday rental.
Fee structure
To assist you throughout the entire purchase process we charge a percentage fee based on the purchase price of the property. The fee is agreed on in writing prior to commencing any research.
