Many are interested in whether it is possible to buy a house without a plot of land. According to the law, when you buy a house, you obtain the right to the land. However, there are nuances according to the Land Code.
'The right to land arises immediately with the object, even if the land registration occurs later'
Judicial practice shows that this principle only applies if the seller has the right to the land. Otherwise, you may only receive the building without the land.
Why the land may remain 'strange' after buying a house
The land may belong to municipal or state ownership, be leased, or the ownership rights may not be formalized. Without registration in the cadastre and a number, land use will not provide legal guarantees.
Recommendations for the buyer
- Check the ownership rights to the land in the cadastre.
- Find out the terms of land use.
- Include data about the land in the purchase agreement.
- Specify the mechanism for transferring the rights to the land.
Even if the seller does not have the right to the land, you can formalize this later, provided you have judicial protection.
The landowner has the right to own and use the land. Non-privatized land under the house may limit your rights and lead to the loss of the land.
The article states that upon purchasing a house, a person obtains the right to a plot of land or the right to use it. However, there are cases where the right to land may not be properly formalized, which requires attentiveness and additional actions from the buyer to ensure their rights to the property. Recommendations for the buyer in such a situation are described in detail.Read also
