Property
Notarised transfers registered at the Centre of Registers
Real-estate sales under the 2001 Civil Code are notarised and registered in the Real Property Register kept by the Centre of Registers. Registration gives the transfer effect against third parties.
Key rules
- A notary authenticates the sale contract.
- Ownership is effective against third parties on registration in the Real Property Register.
- Foreign ownership of agricultural land is subject to restrictions.
Governing law
- Civil Code (2001), book on property
In practice
Acquisition of agricultural land faces area limits and priority rights, so rural purchases need extra checks beyond an ordinary home.
