FAQ
Is property tax in Czech Republic recharged to warehouse tenants?
Yes, under standard NNN leases — which are the norm for Grade A industrial space in Czech Republic — property tax is passed through to the tenant. Always request the current tax assessment before signing.
How much should I budget for a full warehouse reinstatement in Czech Republic?
A full reinstatement — removing fit-out, racking anchor points, mezzanine floors and restoring floors to original condition — typically costs €15–€35/sq m in Czech Republic. For a 10,000 sq m warehouse, budget €150,000–€350,000 and set aside provisions throughout the lease term.
Are energy costs rising in Czech Republic?
