About Us

Nova et Vetera

We are NOVA ET VETERA, a startup that transforms old apartments into modern homes. Since 2020, we have renovated and sold over 300 apartments. Our name, which refers to the connection between “new and old,” perfectly reflects what we do – revitalizing older apartments and turning them into more affordable and sustainable alternatives to new developments. Our innovative approach and impact on the Czech real estate market have even been highlighted in media outlets such as Forbes, E15, and CzechCrunch.

The story of NOVA ET VETERA began with two classmates who transformed the renovation of a single apartment into a company that is now one of the largest providers of refurbished apartments in the Czech Republic. Our vision is to deliver high-quality and affordable housing based on a sustainable and fair approach. Thanks to advanced technological processes, we tailor each apartment to modern trends and customer needs, from kitchen design to material selection.

NOVA ET VETERA Team

Our success is backed by strong financial partners. We combine bank financing from UniCredit Bank with venture debt from Orbit CapitalThis financial model allows us to execute projects quickly, typically completing the cycle from purchase to sale in less than four months. Additionally, our operations are insured by Direct Pojišťovna, providing peace of mind and security for each project.

Our success is driven not only by well-thought-out processes and efficient financing but also by people. We collaborate with a team of experienced designers, project managers, and craftsmen who share our standards and passion for quality. Our employees and external partners grow alongside us, and we deeply value their contributions, which enable us to achieve exceptional results. 

Our dream is that every apartment in need of renovation will pass through our hands. We are convinced that quality is the key to long-term success, which is why we personally inspect every apartment we work on. Thanks to our experience, efficiency, and determination, we continue to grow and are ready to bring innovation to the Czech real estate markets.

Social Responsibility

Waste management​

We think about the environment and try to reduce our carbon footprint. We carefully segregate waste from all our construction, renovation and office projects. We work exclusively with collection yards that can guarantee recycling or environmentally friendly disposal of all waste. We place the same high demands for sustainability on our suppliers…
… When choosing building materials, we always prefer natural materials from domestic suppliers.

Support for sport

We support sport, especially pupil and junior teams. In 2021 we supported the running of the children’s teams of the Korfball Club KCC Sokol České Budějovice. Korfball is the only team ball game in which both men and women play together. The main characteristics of the game are versatility, team play, limited physical contact between players and equality between men and women in the game.

Support for education

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our employees were actively involved in the Computers for Kids project, which aims to provide families in need with computer technology to enable their children to study from home and use the technology to increase computer literacy and creative activities.
