Comparison of Escrows: Attorney, Notary, Bank, Real Estate Agency

Choose Your Escrow Agent Wisely

The key differences between types of escrow lie in price and the level of security for your money.

  • A bank’s escrow fee is fixed in its price list. Banks provide the escrow itself — but they do not explain contracts, give legal advice, or tailor the escrow agreement to your needs.
  • Notaries must calculate their fee according to the Notary Tariff. For escrow up to CZK 100,000, the fee is 1.2%. A notary provides only limited legal advice due to the nature of their specialisation.
  • The Attorney Tariff does not regulate escrow fees, so an attorney can set them independently. In addition, attorneys can review your entire situation, revise all contracts and agreements, and provide comprehensive legal advice tailored to your case.
  • The rule of no set price applies to real estate agencies as well. Professional requirements for real estate escrows are significantly less strict than those for attorneys or notaries — which is why it’s essential to carefully check the agency’s credibility.

Choosing an attorney as your escrow agent is ideal when you need legal advice regarding your property transfer.
Such advice is practically impossible to obtain from a bank, and only limited from notaries and real estate agencies.
