[[[ our note ...... The Czech Cadastre office has a very useful website: http://nahlizenidokn.cuzk.cz - where you can even search out information on ownership of individual buildings in each Czech town.
The downside is that the site is in Czech - but might be useful to go through with your Czech estate agent when starting the buying procedure ]]]
