Zápis věcného břemene: Co to je a jak ovlivňuje nemovitost
When you buy a property, you think you’re getting full ownership. But what if someone else has a legal claim on it? That’s where a zápis věcného břemene, právní zápis, který omezuje vlastnická práva k nemovitosti, i když vlastník změní. Also known as břemeno na nemovitosti, it’s not a mortgage or lien—it’s a permanent restriction tied to the land itself, not the owner. Many people don’t realize it exists until they try to sell—and then the buyer’s lawyer finds it in the land registry. And suddenly, your sale is stuck.
This isn’t just about banks or loans. A zápis věcného břemene, právní zápis, který omezuje vlastnická práva k nemovitosti, i když vlastník změní. Also known as břemeno na nemovitosti, it’s not a mortgage or lien—it’s a permanent restriction tied to the land itself, not the owner. This isn’t just about banks or loans. A zástavní právo, právo, které zajišťuje splacení dluhu z nemovitosti is something you agree to when you take a mortgage. But a předkupní právo, právo někoho jiného koupit nemovitost dříve než vy? That’s a hidden bomb. Maybe your neighbor has it. Or the state. Or a former co-owner. If it’s registered in the land registry, they can legally block your sale—even if you’ve already signed the contract and received the deposit.
And it’s not always obvious. You won’t see it on the surface. No signs, no fences. You have to check the land registry. And most buyers don’t. They trust the seller. Or the agent. Or the notary who didn’t dig deep enough. But a single unreported břemeno can cost you tens of thousands. Or worse—it can kill the deal entirely. We’ve seen it happen. A family in Brno sold their house, moved out, rented a flat—and then the buyer found a 30-year-old right of way registered by the previous owner’s uncle. The buyer refused to close. The seller lost the deposit. And the new owners? They got stuck with a legal mess they never asked for.
