Greece to establish land registry by 2025

·

Greece will finally establish a land registry by 2025, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced during the discussion of the Ministry of Digital Governance’s bill, according to amna.gr

“Greece was the only European state without a land registry in the 21st century. A pending issue that this government had to solve, because in 2025 our country will finally have a cadastre, an accurate map of public and private real estate, with forests and beaches now demarcated, where what belongs to the state and what belongs to the citizen is clearly marked and with clear rules that will facilitate collective development as well as individual transactions – and all this without loopholes of arbitrariness and lawlessness,” the prime minister explained.

According to Mitsotakis, the land registry will offer many advantages. “More specifically, in the economy by facilitating new investments, in the real estate market, in the environment – it will stop encroachments – but also in general by transparently regulating a critical sector that affects many aspects of daily life.”

He further added that the cadastre’s data will be displayed on digital maps, alongside those of urban planning, the Greek statistical authority, fiber optic networks, forests, protected areas, monuments, and archaeological sites. “Everyone will be able to know where and what they can build or find the right place to build a factory or a research center,” Mitsotakis emphasized.
