Apartment purchase checklist
A checklist cannot guarantee a flawless purchase. It separates the indicative calculation from tasks that a bank, lawyer, technician, or building documents must confirm.

Before making an offer
Calculate your budget, reserve left, and monthly limit. Verify ownership, unit use, building condition, costs, and likely renovation scope.
Before signing and handover
Have contracts and legal status reviewed, confirm financing, escrow, deadlines, and the handover record. An indicative score does not replace these steps.
Simple example
Example using the same formula as the calculator: cash needed = down payment + renovation + one-time purchase costs + furnishing and moving + desired reserve. With one-time and furnishing costs explicitly entered as zero, 1,798,000 + 300,000 + 0 + 0 + 500,000 = 2,598,000 CZK. The checklist still keeps financing, legal status, and permitted unit use as separate verification tasks.
Frequently asked questions
Is this checklist legal guidance?
No. It is an organisational aid. Discuss specific documents and contracts with qualified professionals.
When should I update the calculation?
After every material change in price, financing, renovation, or monthly costs. Keep the source of each new value.
