How to Check a Land Plot Before Purchase: Official Tools and Tips.

One of the main procedures for property owners and buyers is checking the information about a land plot in state registers. It is important to ensure there are no risks associated with document forgery, double selling, or legal disputes.

The resource Novyny.LIVE has information on the official tools that can be used for quick and safe verification of the presence of a land plot in state databases.

Land Cadastre and Register of Property Rights

The first step is to use the State Land Cadastre, where information about all registered land plots is stored. To find the necessary information, you need to know the cadastral number, which can be found in the documents or asked from the owner. On the official website of the Public Cadastral Map of Ukraine, you can enter this number in the search window.

It is also important to check the information in the State Register of Property Rights to Real Estate, where you can learn about the owner, the presence of encumbrances, arrests, or mortgages. To do this, you need to submit a request through the online service of the Ministry of Justice, using an electronic signature or BankID.

The Necessity of Verification and Lawyers' Recommendations

These tools will help avoid risks and unpleasant situations related to real estate. Lawyers advise checking the plot in both registers, ensuring data accuracy and avoiding discrepancies in information.

'Before signing any documents, it is advisable to ensure that the plot exists in the register and that its owner has full rights to sell it,' notes lawyer Dmytro Vasyuta.

Contacting a notary or a state registrar is also good practice for obtaining reliable information. If the plot turns out to be absent in the register, it is better to contact a land surveying organization for clarification and further registration.
