1. Cadastre and ownership sheet
- Is the seller registered as the owner? Compare the name on the LV with their ID card.
- Do the area and land type match the contract and the listing?
- Do all parcels belong to the property, including the yard and the access road?
- Does part C list a záložné právo (charge/mortgage), vecné bremeno (easement) or predkupné právo (right of first refusal)?
- Is there a plomba (pending proceedings) on the parcel?
2. Location and building
- Is the plot within the intravilán (built-up area of the municipality)? Outside it, building is restricted.
- What does the municipality’s územný plán (zoning plan) allow? Check the permitted use at the obecný úrad (municipal office).
- Does the plot have access from a public road?
- Is it within a land consolidation area?
3. Local risks

- Natura 2000, national protected areas, protected mineral deposit areas.

Most of the points in sections 1 to 3 are shown on one page in the Kataster24 plot overview. Check owners’ names and part C in an official extract from the LV.
4. Before signing
- An official LV extract with a current date.
- For a flat: floor area and share of the building’s common parts, any arrears with the building manager.
- For a building plot: statements from the utility network operators (water, gas, electricity).
- Have the contract checked by a lawyer.
