Cadastre (katastr nemovitostí)
The public register of real estate that records ownership, boundaries, mortgages and easements. Ownership passes on registration.
The cadastre is the official register of land and buildings in the Czech Republic. It records who owns each parcel, along with mortgages, easements and other rights.
Ownership of real estate transfers when the change is registered in the cadastre, not merely when the contract is signed. Always check a fresh extract before buying.
Reference: Act No. 256/2013 (Cadastre)
