At first, it seems simple.
You open a few websites, scroll through listings, send a couple of messages. The apartments look great. The prices seem reasonable. You expect replies within a day or two.
But nothing happens.
No response.
No call back.
Sometimes not even a rejection.
If you are a foreigner looking for a flat in the Czech Republic, this experience is more common than you might expect.
Why expats are at a disadvantage when renting in Czechia
For you, it means something else entirely.
You are not sure if you fully understand the contract.
You are not sure what your rights are.
You are not sure if someone could take advantage of the situation.
Even when everything looks fine, there is always a small doubt in the back of your mind.
And then there is the language barrier. The moment communication becomes complicated, many agencies simply stop responding.
What expats told us in our survey
We asked our clients about their experience when searching for housing in Czechia. Their answers were surprisingly consistent.
Many said they were ignored by real estate agencies.
Others were rejected without explanation.
The most common reason was simple. Language.
For many agencies, it is easier to work with Czech-speaking clients. For expats, this creates an invisible barrier right at the beginning.
At the same time, something else became clear.
75% of surveyed expats say they know and trust Foreigners.
This is exactly why they turn to us.
Why expats choose Foreigners
For most expats, choosing Foreigners is not just about finding an apartment, but about feeling understood from the very first message, with clear communication in English, real support, and answers instead of silence. Even after the contract is signed, questions naturally come up about responsibilities, utilities, or what happens next, because renting a flat is only the beginning. That is why every English-speaking client who rents through Foreigners receives the VIP Service Package for one year, ensuring ongoing support throughout their stay.
