The Past of Real Estate is the Future of the Investor Buying a house, investing in a plot of land or owning a shop... how nice does it sound, don't it? Dec. Especially if real estate is still considered one of the safest harbors in today's conditions... But I want to remind you that the waters of that harbor are not always stagnant today. Because in real estate, the main issue is not just what you get, but what you have experienced in the past.” If the Immovable Has a Story, Know that There is Also a Reason When we pass by a house, we think, ”What a life has been lived here," you know... there is a similar story on the professional side of the business. Who passed through the hands of a real estate until it reached you, what legal actions it was the subject of, did it see a lawsuit, was it sold with a mortgage, was it annotated, was it declared a risky structure ... If you don't know these, you don't just buy concrete; you get a ledger that you don't know what's in it. Web Title Deed Is One Click Away From You Today we are in the year 2025 and things are no longer done with paper and pencil, but with digital. Thanks to the “Web Land Registry” system of the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre, it is child's play to question the history of a real estate. If you are a property owner, you can enter the E-Government and see the details of all the properties registered to you. If you do not own it, you need to provide owner's approval or legal justification. But know that it is not as difficult to access information as it used to be. Things that Appear and Do Not Appear in the Deed The land registry tells the history. But it is necessary to get lost in the details when telling. If a house has changed hands 3 times, this is normal, but if it has been sold to 6 different people in 5 years, there is a question mark there. If there are obstacles such as foreclosure, mortgage, family housing annotation, the transaction may become impossible. Especially if there is a court order preventing the sale, even the most beautiful apartment can remain on paper. Municipal File: Illegal, Licensed or Inhabited? Ownership is not enough; the legal basis of the structure is also important. Go to the municipality. Look at the zoning situation. Ask for documents such as a building permit, a residence permit, or even whether there have been illegal building records in the past. Because some structures may be without a link, subscription, or even risky under fancy brochures. Do You Take a Risk, Or Is It a Precaution? The bottom line is this: when buying real estate, take a good look not only at what it looked like that day, but also at the past. What happens to a real estate directly affects your future. That's why we at CEESS Global always say that: “The real estate history is the investor's future.” Don't leave your job to chance. Proceed with a real estate consultant, lawyer and appraiser who is an expert in his field. You will not only have made an investment, you will also experience the peace of mind of a correct decision.
