Ownership, Land & Lease
Buying, selling, gifts, ownership, land and leases
This practice area is for people who already own property and need to decide what to do with it. Land has its own pitfalls: subdivision and consolidation, duplicate title involving C and E register parcels, and transfers of agricultural land.
We settle co-ownership, establish or extinguish easements and seek determination of ownership where it is disputed. We prepare leases for landlords and, where necessary, recover rent and pursue eviction.

The most common questions in this area
-
Part of our land is being expropriated for a road. What happens to compensation and encumbrances?
On the date the decision becomes final, ownership passes to the expropriating party and security rights, including enforcement and tax security rights, easements other than statutory easements, rights of pre-emption with proprietary effect and the land tenancy end. The Land Register deletes these rights. If you disagree with the compensation amount, you must bring a claim within 30 days of finality, and a missed deadline cannot be excused.

Our company is buying agricultural land. What restrictions apply today?
The familiar restrictions, mandatory publication of an offer, three years of farming in the municipality and priority for local buyers, no longer apply. In judgment PL. ÚS 20/2014 of 14 November 2018, the Constitutional Court declared them unconstitutional, and the Act no longer contains them. Obstacles remain, however: pre-emption rights, common-property rules and whether the plot qualifies as agricultural land under the Act.

We are selling a share in an urbarial land community. Must we offer it to the other shareholders first?
Yes, when transferring to a third party. The Land Communities Act requires the owner of a share to offer it to the other owners of shares in the common property; the offer may be made through the committee. Only if they express no interest may the share be transferred to a third party. The general right of pre-emption does not apply to transfers between co-owners. Transferring a share in only some of the plots forming common property is prohibited altogether.
