Land plots

Specifics of land transactions

Details

  • Designated use

    Private farming, construction, commercial — check the SLC extract; changing use is a separate process.

  • Moratorium

    Agricultural land is under a sale moratorium until liberalization; exceptions — inheritance, lease.

  • Boundaries & cadastre

    Cadastral number, on-site boundaries, neighbors — geodetic survey before the deal.

  • Encumbrances

    Lease, mortgage, servitude, protection zones (power lines, water) — extract from the real-property register.

Buying land without an SLC extract and boundary check is the most common scam: the 'plot' turns out to be someone else's, leased, or unbuildable.
