Czech law does not require legal professionals (lawyers and notaries) to participate in contracting or in the process of registering a title in the property register in order for conveyancing to be valid.
However, in practice it is common for their services to be used for conveyancing. In particular, it is typical to make use of escrow services, i.e. the safekeeping of funds at a notary or lawyer as a neutral third party, who may release these funds only when conditions specified in advance by the escrow agreement have been met (e.g. after the buyer’s title has been registered in the property register). In this respect, escrow protects the interests of both the buyer and the seller in the due process of the purchase.
