It often happens that a landowner can use the land for years and not suspect that the plot does not have a cadastral number. However, when it comes to selling such land, this is where the problems begin.
Is it possible to sell land without a cadastral number?
It is impossible to sell land without a cadastral number in Ukraine, reports the Land Fund of Ukraine. According to the current legislation of Ukraine, a cadastral number is a unique identifier of a land plot.
This number confirms the existence of a plot in the State Land Cadastre. Without it, the plot is not considered fully registered, and therefore is not subject to any transactions, including purchase and sale, donation, or inheritance.
What is prohibited for the owner:
- A notary will not execute a purchase and sale agreement, even if you have a state deed or other documents.
- You will not be able to register ownership in the State Register.
- The plot cannot be officially donated, exchanged, or contributed to the authorized capital.
