In city centres, a garage or garage parking is becoming a welcome addition to the apartment you buy. However, parking is nowadays paid for almost in gold. Therefore, it is advisable not to underestimate the purchase contract for a garage and to prepare it so that there will actually be somewhere to park in the end.
The transfer of the garage can be part of the purchase contract for the apartment. However, sometimes it is necessary to buy the garage separately. This was also the case for Mr Jiří. He was buying a flat from a man who also arranged a garage which he rented himself. He said it should not be a problem to transfer it.
However, after a detailed check, we found out that our client would pay a lot of money for the garage, which was also located in a different house than the flat. The house in question had high fees. And as if that were not enough, there was also a “war” between the garage owners and the rest of the residents of the building over the aforementioned fees and reconstruction costs. Becoming a part of such a situation could have been a revenge for Mr. Jiří, especially when the garage itself cost as much as an apartment in a smaller town.
Mr. Jiří ended up buying a garage right in the backyard of the house next door. It was seemingly even more expensive, but without the need for additional investment. Everything went smoothly and peacefully. And Mr. Jiří can park whenever he wants without any problems.

Agarage is a space that is used to park a motor vehicle. It differs from a state garage in that it is spatially bounded and firmly separated from its surroundings. It may be a detached building or a unit. Plain and simple, it is one complete and separate space. Imagine it as a garage in the garden, in the cellar of a family house or as a separate cubicle in that strange oblong building often adorning the outskirts of Czech towns.
A garage, on the other hand, is just a dedicated space that is part of a larger non-residential space used for parking motor vehicles. Imagine it as a space underground under a hypermarket. It differs from a garage in that it is not rigidly separated from its surroundings.
The catch is that, legally speaking, the owner of a garage is usually his or her own boss, whereas the owner of a parking space is often just a co-owner of a large garage. He therefore has to make difficult arrangements with the other co-owners for its management and maintenance.
