Safe property purchase, check the land and mortgage register

Share

Beautiful finishing, a balcony view or a good price can be captivating. However, before signing a preliminary agreement, you must thoroughly check three key elements in the land and mortgage register.

Three key sections and elements of the land and mortgage register

  • Section III - Rights, claims and restrictions: This is the place where personal easements (e.g. lifetime support), warnings about enforcement proceedings or claims from other preliminary agreements may be hidden.
  • Section IV - Mortgage: Check whether the property does not secure debts, which requires obtaining a balance certificate and consent to delete the mortgage.
  • Section I-O and II - Compliance of the actual state: Make sure that the area and appurtenances correspond to reality, and in Section II verify the sole owner or all co-owners.

When reviewing the land and mortgage register number in the electronic system, pay special attention to notes marked with red font or the letter W symbol. They mean that a new application has been submitted to the court that has not yet been entered into the register.
