Real Estate Registration and Cadastre
Core concepts
This domain links the Property Register Act with the cadastre. Understand the register's function: publicity, protection of good-faith third parties, and the principle that registered rights are presumed valid. Know the objects of registration, the procedure for initial registration, the documents required, and the effect of registration on acquisition, transfer, mortgage and deletion. Master cadastral identification, the relation between the cadastral map and the register, and the correction of errors.
Traps
Questions test the moment rights arise (registration, not the contract), the effect of a refused application, and the remedies against an unlawful refusal. Watch the rules on good-faith acquisition from a non-owner and the limits of that protection. Another trap is the difference between a cadastral error and a register error, and which procedure corrects each.
Rule of thumb
Ask: is the right registrable, is the application in order, and what is the publicity effect? Example: A buyer registers a purchase; a later creditor of the seller cannot seize the flat, because registration transferred the right and publicity protects the buyer.
