The real estate market in the Czech Republic is attracting increasing attention from foreign investors. Large-scale investment in manufacturing, encouraged by incentives and the accession of the country to the EU, has led to increased demand for industrial property, while the retail, office, hotel and residential markets have also expanded, particularly in Prague. Some of the entrants to the market are corporate investors such as pension funds and insurance companies, while others are individuals who are looking for a favourable investment opportunity abroad. Taxation is a crucial element in the real estate investment process and KPMG Czech Republic has wide experience in this area.
