Hear what some of our recent clients had to say
Very impressed listed with them 2 weeks ago my property has been marketed on over 100 high-ranking property platforms worldwide and translated into 79 languages. Proof of all marketing sent when requested and I have a viewing booked in next month already.

Esales very recently assisted in the marketing and sale of my overseas property. I can wholeheartedly recommend their professional marketing services as from day one they have been thorough. I must extend an extra arm of gratitude to my agent who went over and above to get things done outside working hours. Without his expert knowledge and guidance to set the right price for the market the process would have been harder. I was very pleased at the speed and efficiency of correspondence or calls at the weekend to tell me I had an offer. There was a few hurdles to get things done often but this was no issue for the reputable notary office they put me in touch with. I felt everything was under control at all times. If you are looking for an efficient and professional service to market to global investors look no further. Everything was extremely transparent.
Muhamed Ashid
I highly rate how professionally this company handled the marketing and exposure of my property, also the fact they are contactable by phone or email at any time for updates and help. They are so much more cost-effective than local agents who can easily fob you off and charge extortionate fees. Esales has more coverage in all markets around the world and after many years of trying with local agents, we decided this was the best route to go with. Delighted to have sold inside 8 weeks of listing and we will be listing 4 other overseas properties we own. Very thorough and transparent from start to finish and we sold over asking price for any cynics out there !

Complete Guide to Selling Real Estate in Slovakia
Selling a modern apartment in Bratislava, a historic property in Košice, or a development plot in the countryside requires navigating Slovakia’s highly formal, CAD-based, and digitized real estate framework. Property transactions in Slovakia are generally straightforward but demand strict adherence to documentation, municipal energy certification, and mandatory land registry filing.
1. The Legal Framework: Contracts, Escrow, and Cadastre Registration
Real estate operations in Slovakia are governed by civil law formality. A sale is not legally perfected until it is officially recorded in the national land registry.
The Purchase Contract (Kúpna zmluva): You must prepare a legally sound purchase contract that outlines the price, terms, and identification of both parties. It is standard practice to use a solicitor or real estate agent to ensure all mandatory clauses are included, though private sales are legally permitted.
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): Under Slovak law, property owners are strictly required to provide the buyer with a valid Energy Performance Certificate upon sale. Failure to provide a verified copy of this document can result in significant legal complications.
Signature Certification: To be accepted for registration, the seller’s signature on the purchase contract must be officially certified. This can be done at a notary public or at a local municipal office (obecný úrad).
Real Estate Cadastre (Kataster): The transfer of ownership is only legally binding once it is registered with the Real Estate Cadastre. You must lodge the application for the transfer of ownership at the district office. Standard registration takes up to 30 days, while an accelerated process (15 days) is available for an additional fee.
2. Taxation: Capital Gains, Exemptions, and VAT
Slovakia has moved away from property transfer taxes, focusing instead on income-based taxation and clear exemptions for long-term owners.
[Gross Sale Price] - [Acquisition & Improvement Costs] = Net Taxable Gain
Net Taxable Gain x 19% (or 25%) Flat Personal Income Tax = Tax Liability
Capital Gains Tax (CGT): Gains from the sale of real estate are generally taxed as part of your annual personal income. A flat rate of 19% applies to income up to a certain threshold (approx. €48,441), with 25% applied to any income exceeding that amount.
Key Capital Gains Exemptions: You can legally bypass capital gains tax if:
The 5-Year Rule: The property has been held for at least five consecutive years (and was not used for business purposes).
The Permanent Residence Rule: The property served as the taxpayer’s permanent residence for at least two years prior to the sale.
Value Added Tax (VAT): The transfer of new buildings (within 5 years of their first use approval) is subject to a 23% VAT. Transfers of real estate made more than 5 years after construction are generally exempt from VAT.
Local Property Taxes: There is no transfer tax in Slovakia. However, owners must pay an annual local real estate tax to their municipality, calculated based on the floor area or land value.
3. Strategy: Bidding, Escrow, and Global Reach
Successfully liquidating a Slovak asset requires balancing local procedural norms with the need for competitive market exposure.
Security via Escrow: To protect both parties, funds are almost exclusively held in a notarial custody account or a designated lawyer’s escrow account. The funds are only released to you as the seller once the Land Registry confirms the title transfer, providing a high level of security for the transaction.
The Global Platform Advantage: While private sales are common, most sellers leverage the expertise of professional agents to manage the heavy documentation load and negotiate with international buyers. Listing your property on a global digital marketing platform is highly recommended for high-value assets. It allows you to circumvent localized “silos” and place your property directly in front of international investors, corporate executives, and expats, who are often looking for clear, well-documented title histories and are prepared to pay a premium for a seamless, secure transaction.
