Land Registry Declarations

What is the national land registry?


The National Land Registry is a unified and constantly updated information system that records legal, technical and other additional information on real estate and rights over it, under the responsibility and guarantee of the State.

Its compilation aims to create a modern, fully automated real estate file, all of which are evidence-based, ensuring the greatest possible publicity and security of transactions.

This is a much more modern and complete system than the old system of Mortgages and Transfers supported by the Mortgage Offices.




Specifically, the National Land Registry:


1. Records based on the property all the transactions that create, transfer, alter or abolish rights to real estate. We can therefore be informed immediately, easily and reliably of all the rights that exist in each property. Thus, everything becomes simpler and clearer.


2. It guarantees the legal information that it records, as the registration of each deed is done only after a substantial legality check, ie no deed is registered if the transferor is not the one registered in the land registry as a beneficiary.


3. Records the geographical description (form, location and size) of the property.


4. Reveals and systematically reveals Public real estate, for the first time in modern Greece.


5. Records usufruct rights which, especially in the province, is perhaps the most common way of acquiring ownership due to informal transfers.
