Foreword Sound land administration helps people to secure property rights for their homes. An efficient land market encourages investment and economic growth. Just like its houses, its social institutions and its industry, a country’s unique land-administration institutions reflect its history and priorities.

This report by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) was developed by the Working Party on Land Administration. It is part of a series of in-depth studies by the Working Party, which has also produced publications on topics such as informal housing and fraud in electronic land-registration systems.

The study presented here is the result of a survey to gather comprehensive information on countries’ land administration systems. This includes the efficiency of their services, the use of e-technology in their services, the security of their data and their ability to recover data and services in the event of a disaster, to name only a few of the aspects covered. Twenty-five countries from throughout our region participated, allowing us to present information on land administration systems in northern, western, eastern and southern Europe, Mediterranean island countries and Asia, including the Caucasus and Central Asia.

The study has three main objectives:

To provide information for the use of government officials, researchers and other stakeholders.

To allow member States to benchmark their own progress in developing land administration systems by comparing them with those of other countries.

To provide a snapshot of progress in land administration and allow comparison with the information presented in UNECE’s 2005 study, Inventory of Land Administration Systems in Europe and North America.

This study shows the great diversity of land administration systems in the UNECE region. It also shows commonalities. Perhaps most strikingly, since the 2005 study, more map and register data has become available freely and electronically, and more services are processed online. This means that public institutions can provide services more quickly and at less cost. It also stimulates land markets by increasing the information available to buyers and sellers of homes. The digitization of data has also increased the ability of land institutions to recover data in the event of a data loss.

I would like to thank the Working Party, who coordinated this study, as well as the Governments who provided resources for its development, in particular, Ireland, which led the study. I would also like to thank those Governments who have dedicated time and resources to answering our survey and thus contributing to this report.

It is my hope that this study will assist policymakers and authorities to improve security of tenure and the efficiency of land markets. The information in this study will serve as a guide and a reference point for the UNECE as we continue to work to help countries use their most valuable resource, which is land.

Introduction and background

Land registration, administration and mapping form the basis for the management of every country’s most valuable resource – land. These functions straddle the public and private sectors to varying degrees in different jurisdictions. Authorities often operate through partnerships with the private sector, such as through public-private partnerships or outsourcing. Nevertheless, in the 56 countries of the region covered by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the control, regulation and operation of land management is generally a public-sector function.

This publication presents an analysis of land administration, land registration and mapping systems in UNECE member States. In the private sector, competition and the competitive marketplace are the engines for innovation and improvement. By comparing land administration systems worldwide, the publication aims to substitute for these forces by encouraging continued improvements in what are, primarily, public-sector agencies. This can help to stimulate economic performance and innovation, improve registration systems and promote universal standards of good land administration.

Other studies and reports have been undertaken to define and compare various aspects of land registration and administration. These include the Multilingual Thesaurus on Land Tenure, produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO 2003), and the Glossary of Terms for the European Land Information Service (EULIS 2013).

This is the second comprehensive survey of land administration organizations conducted in the last decade by the UNECE Working Party on Land Administration. To prepare the Inventory of Land Administration Systems in Europe and North America (UNECE 2005a), a questionnaire had been sent to member States to gather information in four fields: the organization of institutions and government responsibilities; land and title registration; cadastral and topographical mapping systems; and land use recording systems.

For the present study, a questionnaire was sent to UNECE member States to gather updated and additional information on these topics. This questionnaire emphasized, in particular: data availability to the public; ease of use of land administration systems; the efficiency of land administration organizations; fees and charges; and the security of data. The data collected are for the year 2011.

The remainder of this publication provides an analysis of key data from the questionnaire. The questionnaire itself and the country responses are included in an annex. The data presented are based on the countries’ responses to the questionnaire. Results should be interpreted with the understanding that different countries may have interpreted some questions in different ways. Also, changes may have taken place since 2011.

Many of the comments that countries made are reflected in either the text or the appendix. These comments help to illustrate the difficulty in comparing the systems of different countries when definitions, laws and procedures vary. Most comments that appear in this publication have been paraphrased.

Figure 1 shows the 25 countries that participated in this study: Armenia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom (England and Wales). Not all countries responded to all questions.

I. System of registration

Land registration systems operate throughout the world. These systems are the legal basis for recording ownership and other legal rights tied to land. An efficiently functioning land registration system provides the groundwork for secure property transfers, a secure mortgage market and citizen protection and, consequently, promotes social stability. The effective operation of land and title registration systems is therefore fundamental to successful market economies.

Land ownership A total of 10 respondents have land administration systems based on a civil-court registration system (Figure 2). There is no obvious geographical pattern for the use of a civil-court or non-civil-court registration system.


3

Figure 2. Basis for recording ownership of land

Two respondents (Bulgaria and Estonia) have systems of land-recording based upon local or customary rights. In Israel, rights that were acquired before the enactment of the 1969 Land Law (under Ottoman, British mandate or Israeli registration) and were still in force in 1969 were not abolished by the Land Law.

UNECE (2005b) indicated that good practice includes the recognition that customary or local rights may exist outside of the formal legal system of recording. Nonetheless, it also pointed out that, in certain situations, land reforms which extinguished customary and local rights could help streamline the mechanisms of land transfer. While such land reforms are often out of the purview of land administrations, local or customary rights are not always confusing or in need of streamlining by locals or customary practitioners. Reforms that abolish such rights can create more confusion in the transition to new forms and procedures and in the land registries who oversee title transitions. For example, land rights informally passed down within a family or distributed by community leaders may be stable, and the transition to national norms may meet local resistance.

Only a few countries make use of private title insurance. Malta is the only country that affirmed that they have a land administration system supported by private title insurance. In those countries without private title insurance, titles are usually guaranteed by the State. For example, in Belarus, it is possible to ensure against some risks of title transfer, but this is not obligatory. The court can order reimbursement to affected parties due to mistakes made by the property registrars; this reimbursement is paid out of a special fund created for this purpose.

Registry organization Countries vary in their use of Registry of Title (ROT) or Registry of Deeds (ROD) systems (Figure 3).

Figure 3. System of registration

Germany has a system of registration based on two separate public registries: the Grundbuch (Land Registry) and Liegenschaftskataster (Real Estate Cadastre). The Grundbuch is maintained under the authority of civil courts and its legal base is the federal law; the Liegenschaftskataster is maintained under the surveying authorities of the 16 States of Germany.

Israel has had a Torrens-title system of registration, wherein a register of land holdings guaranteed by the State guarantees a title to those included in the register, since 1920. There are still parcels in which title has not been settled, which are registered either under a register of deeds system or not at all. Registration of title is a condition to the proprietary right to land.

In Italy, the main system is a register of deeds, but in some small areas in the northeast, title registration is by parcel identifier.

II. Coverage of registration

Figure 4 show that 17 countries (74 per cent) have registered more than 80 per cent of their land area and, of these, 8 have registered 100 per cent of their land. The countries with the greatest land coverage are in Central Europe and Scandinavia.

Figure 4. Area of land registered


6

Armenia reports that the land registry contains most private titles to lands, and that most unregistered lands are State-owned. Malta reports that private land registration is allowed only in certain registration areas. Registration is, in some cases, more complete in urban than in rural areas. Spain reports that about 2 per cent of all properties are unregistered, most of which are in rural areas.

Eleven respondents have no informal settlements in their jurisdiction and the remaining 11 have less than 20 per cent of their titles held in informal settlement arrangements (Figure 5). There is no discernible geographical pattern with respect to jurisdictions that recorded informal settlements, although they tend to be more prevalent in countries that had centrally planned economies; eight such countries record informal settlements. Nonetheless, countries such as Austria, Belgium and Denmark also record informal settlements.

“Informal settlement” here refers to property used for habitation where the occupier has not established legal title. Some respondents reported different means of differentiating between the concepts of “informal settlements” and “unregistered property”. For example, in Belarus, all titles are invalid if not recorded in the registry, and in Bulgaria, informal settlements represent only a portion of properties not registered. In the Netherlands, all properties are registered; however, as inheritances are not automatically updated in the registers, current land rights could be considered unregistered.


7

Figure 5. Prevalence of informal settlements

Informal settlements may be made up of a society’s most vulnerable populations, whose access to valuable public services is restricted. If land administration agencies participate in the registration or administration of informal settlements, this can help to ensure the protection of informal tenants.

III. Online availability and electronic access

Respondents were asked a series of questions regarding the services that are provided online by land administration agencies.

A total of 17 respondents make all of their maps fully available for inspection on an online basis (Figure 6). This represents significant progress since 2005, when only 30 per cent had their map fully digitized and online (UNECE 2005a).


8

Figure 6. Online availability of maps

Most countries with all maps digitized are located in Central and Western Europe, Scandinavia and the Baltic.

As might be expected, the online availability of maps correlates with the online availability of title inspection. For 7 respondents (Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Lithuania, Netherlands, Serbia and United Kingdom), 100 per cent of title register inspections are done online; for another 7, more than 80 per cent are online (Figure 7).


9

Figure 7. Online inspections of title register

Figure 8 shows the percentage of boundary inspections available online.


10

Figure 8. Boundary inspections online

Six respondents process all applications for title copies online (Figure 9). Four respondents process more than 80 per cent of such applications online. In four countries, applications for title copies cannot be processed online. An “online application” is one for which the application is made, paid for (if a fee is payable) and submitted to the land registry electronically and does not require any paperwork to be filed.


11

Figure 9. Online applications for copies of titles

An extract of the register is “digitally certified” if it is issued by the land registry in electronic format and no supporting paper document is required or issued. Out of 24 respondents, five process all extracts freely and electronically, while three process more than 80 per cent freely and electronically (Figure 10). In seven responding countries, extracts of the register cannot be produced freely and electronically.


12

Figure 10. Digitally certified extracts

“Electronic registration” implies that all registration documents are submitted only electronically and that all registrations are made in an electronic register. Electronically submitted documents can be digitally signed or scanned versions of paper documents.

Countries vary significantly in the degree to which they register property electronically (Figure 11). Of 24 respondents, six jurisdictions process all transactions electronically and seven do not process any applications electronically.


13

Figure 11. Transactions fully processed electronically

Access to online register

In 70 per cent of respondent countries, the register is available for inspection by citizens (Figure 12 and Figure 13). That is a slight improvement from 63 per cent in 2005 (UNECE 2005a). The six jurisdictions that do not afford full access to all citizens were spread across the region, not concentrated in a single geographical area.


Figure 12. Access to land register

Figure 13. Access to land register

Several countries made clarifying comments regarding the availability of data online:

Belarus. Online access is open to citizens in the form of an abstract, whose form is specified by legislation. Information on the property, including titles and liens, is open to all, but information on specific people is restricted and, in some cases, available only to the property owner and the authorities. Online access to the register is available for a fee. Cadastral maps containing data on property units are expected to be made available electronically in 2013.

Bulgaria. All citizens have the right to online inspections for their own property only. Croatia. Cadastral (at www.katastar.hr), land book (at www.pravodudge.hr) and map (at

www.arkod.hr) data are available online. Inspection is possible without extracting certified extracts. Registration online is not possible.

Denmark. The cadastral register and map data are kept in the same spatial database. All maps are digital and all inspections in the cadastre are carried out online, but for historical information paper records must be used. The title registry is open to inspection by all citizens for a fee, except for the property owner. The cadastral registry is free to access, although the use of map information is restricted. Cadastral archives are not available in digital form. Certified copies of title registers and cadastral maps are not given online, but extracts can be made from the title registry private land surveyors can issue property maps with certified information. All changes in the cadastral registers and maps are based on digital data provided by private land surveyors after inspection by the cadastral authority, and all transactions in the title register, such as a change of ownership or the registration of a mortgage, may be carried out digitally and automatically.

Finland. The land register is open to all citizens but the extracts are not free of charge. Germany. The title register is linked to the real estate book but not the title register. When the

Authoritative Real Estate Cadastre Information System (ALKIS) is implemented, this will also be linked to the title register. This system will incorporate the functionality of the cadastral map and book in one system. Implementation of ALKIS is scheduled for 2014. In addition, under Article 133 of the German Land Registry Act, a web-based procedure is available for accessing information from the land book if permission is given by the Supreme Court. More information is available at http://www.grundbuchportal.de.

Malta. No online facilities yet for customers. A person seeking information on a particular piece of land applies to the registrar. Within eight working days, an official reply is provided stating whether the property is registered or not. If it is, the applicant is provided with a certificate of title. Also, in Malta, the map base for registry records are not based on a cadastre. Records are based on plans prepared by architects and the Government does not check all plans with site inspections.

Netherlands. The information given refers to deeds rather than titles, as Netherlands does not have a title system. About 99 per cent of digitally certified extracts of the register and map are processed electronically. In some specific cases, a paper version of the extract is requested by the court.

Romania. Data on applications submitted and registered in the cadastre and land book registration bureau are available. The country is exploring the possibility of publishing online the inscription-transcription register.

Spain. Information is public for those who express a legal or legitimate interest.

IV. Status and security

State guarantee A “guaranteed title” entitles the citizen to compensation from registration authorities for any losses incurred as a result of errors found on the register. Governments guarantee at least some titles in 79 per cent of respondent countries (Figure 14). This is similar to the level in 2005 (UNECE 2005a).

Figure 14. State guarantees of title

In a few countries, some titles are guaranteed by commercially provided title insurance, although this is not the case for the majority of titles in any respondent country (Figure 15).


17

Figure 15. Titles guaranteed by title insurance


18

Protection against maladministration In 18 countries, systems of land administration are subject to inspection by an independent ombudsman (Figure 16).

Figure 16. Inspection by independent ombudsman


19

Business continuity “Disaster recovery” means the recovery and restoration of computer services (or paper records) in the event of a complete computer system or paper record loss. Figures 17 and 18 show the expected time to restore customer service or recover records in the event of a data loss.

In some cases, the ability to restore data and records varies. For example, countries such as Denmark, with only historical records not being digitized, could restore modern records very quickly, but paper records perhaps not at all.

Figure 17. Time needed to recover title registers in event of data loss


20

Figure 18. Time needed to restore full customer service in the event of a loss of records


21

Customer charter and customer satisfaction ratings The extent to which land registries use customer satisfaction surveys varies widely: 18 per cent of respondents do not ever issue customer satisfaction surveys, while 59 per cent issue surveys yearly or more frequently (Figure 19). Furthermore, 54 per cent of all respondents have their surveys verified by external auditors.

The survey requested the frequency with which evaluations were done by the land registry. Cyprus indicated no answer, because customer satisfaction is evaluated by external inspection authorities. Similarly, Israel noted that surveys were done by a private company.

Malta made the following comments on the questions on “status and security”:

A title becomes guaranteed by the state within 10 years from registration. There are no specific time frames for the loss of titles or maps, but backups exist. Customers are provided with customer care forms to fill out, so that the process of feedback is

continuous. Monthly performance reports are produced, which are reproduced in the annual report submitted to the

Government.

V. Taxes and charges

Fees collected from property registration support the provision of public services to customers. They can be channelled into the Government budget or that of the land registry. The ability of registries to levy charges and taxes has taken on new importance as many jurisdictions face budget cuts following the economic downturn and the slowing of European property markets.

The size of dwellings and the value of property in a given jurisdiction affect the extent to which land registries can raise revenue. Figure 19 shows the area of an average-sized dwelling in an average-priced suburban area of the largest city of the country, and Figure 20 the average price of such a dwelling.


22

Figure 19. Average dwelling size (m2)

Figure 20. Average price of average dwelling (thousands of euros)

There are stark differences between post-socialist and other countries. In post-socialist countries (Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and Serbia), the area of an average dwelling in an average-priced suburban area of the largest city is 66.5 m2 compared to the 92.4


23

m2 average among all responding countries. The average price of such a dwelling is €83,160, or €1,251/m2, in

post-socialist countries and €174,200, or €1,885.3/m2, for all respondents.

The form in which taxes are levied on certain types of properties reflects specific regional or national histories, economic contexts, and legal frameworks in each country. It can also encourage certain types of property transactions compared to others.

Of 22 respondents, 14 do not charge different taxes or fees for existing dwellings and new dwellings, or between existing property owners and first-time purchasers; 3 differentiate only between existing property owners and first-time purchasers; 1 differentiates only between existing dwellings and new dwellings; and 4 differentiate both.

Different countries have different capacities to produce revenue based on the stability and strength of their property markets, suggesting that what might work as a fee system in one jurisdiction might not in another with a different social attitude towards indirect taxes and a different economic climate in the property market.

The average total registration fee (including land registration fees and all professional fees such as legal, notarial and survey fees), paid by both the seller and the purchaser on a transfer of the ownership of an average priced dwelling, is €3,440.7.

VI. Inspection and registration fees

Fees for an inspection of the title register vary across the region. In Armenia, Belgium, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Malta and Serbia, no fee is imposed for the inspection of the title register; England and Wales, Denmark and Belarus charge the highest fee, €20. (

Figure 22).

Figure 22. Fees for an inspection of the title register and map

Fees for the registration of transfer of title vary from €2,100 in Denmark to €7 in Belarus (Figure 23).


25

Figure 23. Fees for the registration of transfer of title (euros)

Since 2005, land registries in Sweden, Ireland and Croatia have turned increasingly to government finance, whereas registries in Cyprus, Finland, Latvia and Serbia have relied more on fees (UNECE 2005a). These changes could be the result of changes in administrative structure, a decrease in government tax revenue or a decrease in property values and transactions from which fees and charges are levied.

In Estonia, most of the fees described in the section were variable.

VII. Speed of registration

It benefits lending institutions and their clients when there is a land administration agency that can quickly extract, register, and process information on titles, parcels and charges. For example, if mortgages, charges or hypothecs are swiftly registered, controversy over the priority of charges can be more easily avoided. Thus, increasing the registration speed can contribute to securing or guaranteeing titles for citizens. Figure 24 shows that, in most countries, some or all title records are instantly accessible. The median time to obtain an officially certified extract of a title register (Figure 25) or map/cadastre is less than five days.

Some member States, such as Georgia and Romania, indicated that expedited processing was also available for these and other services. Germany and Serbia noted that processing times could vary between different offices. In some cases, processing time depends on the private sector and is not always predictable. Serbia noted that, to record a subdivision of a parcel, the processing time depends on surveyors, who are mandated by law to complete the task within 30 days.

The median time to register a mortgage, charge or hypothec (Figure 26) or to change the ownership of a full parcel (Figure 27) is also less than five days. The median time to register a change of ownership over part of a parcel (Figure 28) is between five and ten days. Finally, the median time to process an application for an update of the register is between five and ten days (Figure 29).

The increased digitization of the mapping, cadastral, conveyancing and registration services described in this report has rapidly sped up the processes of land registration. Nonetheless, it is critical to ensure that the digital environment does not create additional security issues.

Denmark made the following comments related to the speed of registration:

Neither the cadastre nor the land registry provides certified copies of extracts of title registers. The time to register a change of ownership does not include the time taken by a private land surveyor,

who must make sure that the subdivision can be carried out according to physical planning or other restrictions.


32

Germany made the following remarks:

According to the German Federal High Court of Justice’s ruling IIIZR 302/05 of 11 January 2011, the land registry has the obligation to process applications as fast as possible, and the Government can be liable if the procedure takes too long.

The development of e-conveyancing will continue to improve processing times. All paper land books have been scanned and are used in electronic form only.

Latvia made the following remarks:

It is assumed that “land registry” corresponds to the Latvian Zemesgramata, “Title register” to the Kadasra teksta dati and “map authority” to the Kadastra karte.

Relevant laws include the Land Register Law and the National Real Estate Cadastre Law. Finland made the following remarks:

To register the ownership of real estate in Finland, it normally takes less than 20 days, excluding some more complex inheritance cases or cases which involve regarding international companies.

An application for land registration usually takes less than 10 days. Nevertheless, for some more complex cases applications can require specific documents, which may imply more time.

The Netherlands noted that electronic updates of the register take only seconds. When the register must be updated manually, this is done within 24 hours. Spain noted that the time for complete registration was six days, if the title had no problems indicated by the registrars.

VIII. Activity

The features and current trends in individual property markets directly affect the proportions of different types of activities that land administrations must register. Registering mortgages, transfers and transfers of parts of parcels make up the bulk of the land administrations’ work. Activities processed by land administration agencies tend to be (based on median responses): transfers of dwellings, 41-60 per cent; transfers of parts of parcels, less than 20 per cent; registrations of mortgages, charges, or hypothecs, 20-40 per cent; property transfer due to death of the owner, less than 20 per cent. Figure 30, Figure 31, Figure 32 and Figure 33 show in more detail the types of activities processed by land administrations.

As with many aspects of land administration, differences in definitions and procedures can make it difficult to compare results. For example, in Belarus, as subdivisions and property transfers are handled separately, it is difficult to know when a subdivision is caused by a property transfer. Finland noted that in that country, apartments in condominiums are not registered as real estate in the cadastre. They are treated like shares in private companies, which register the shares and their owners.

In Figure 30, Latvia’s answer (8.4 per cent) includes only apartments.

36

Figure 33. Transactions that are transfers due to death of the owner

Most transactions are transfers of property from one owner to another. The total number of mortgages, charges and hypothecs registered was somewhat lower than expected. This could be because of the slowdown in European property markets in 2011 (year for which data were collected). It is likely that there were many more of these transactions in the years before the crash in property prices.


37

IX. Complexity and automation

The relative ease or complexity with which land administration services can be completed affects how the public perceives and uses the land registry. The complexity of registration can also encourage or discourage certain types of users from using land administration services. For example, where more complex manual procedures are required, people without legal training might be discouraged from initiating their own requests for land administration services. On the other hand, the use of manual rather than electronic transactions can result in reduced cases of fraud and identify theft.

Though results varied across countries, the median number of activities was two or three for each type of activity, as shown in Table 1.

X. Elements of register and cadastres

Having a multipurpose property register with a diverse set of capabilities has many advantages. Firstly, most registers are based on a spatial visualization of property in the country. Centralizing the registration of land uses, ownership, environmental status, or ecological conditions could provide a boon for policy and research aimed at better understanding the complex interactions between ecology, regulation and industry.

Furthermore, it is important to give users access to more information as European land registries attempt to increase interoperability. One stumbling block to interoperability is the unique social, cultural and legal frameworks that exist in each country. The ability to access a wider range of information on rights, statuses, improvements and utilities could make working with a land registry easier to a user who is used to a system from another country.

So far, European land registries have focused predominately on ownership, burdens and rights affecting land. But, as digital registry maps become more multi-dimensional, so too does their capacity to expand their links to the wider range of social phenomena related to property. Table 2 shows how common certain features are in land registries.

XI. Efficiency

As the role of the public sector evolves, the resources, organization and goals of public services change. In some countries, these transformations might mean increased workloads in land administration and land registration agencies. However, the implementation of electronic and automated systems, and a slowdown in property markets, has also eased or changed the workloads of many staff. Figure 34 shows the number of property ownerships in each respondent country.

Figure 34. Total number of ownerships on title register

Providing efficient services for the public should not interfere with the assurance of title. As the public sector has faced increased pressure to reform in the last decade, it is important to secure titles efficiently, even in the face of bureaucratic, financial and staff changes. Since 2005, progress has been made to efficiently promote electronic registration and title certification.


41

XII. Gender equality

No responding jurisdictions reported any gender inequality in the access to land registration or land administration services, except Israel, which noted possible exceptions when Sharia law was applied in that country.

Though gender equality is assured before the law related to property, further enquiry might be made into conveyancing rules and norms, and whether these or other regulations might provide de facto asymmetry with regard to land registry access. Future studies should examine the gender of those making applications to determine who uses land registry services. Additionally, studies could look at how land administration agencies can compensate for gender inequalities in other areas.

Key data and conclusions This section summarizes some of the most important data and conclusions from the study. Since the last thorough inventory of UNECE land management systems (UNECE 2005a), land administrations and land registries in the European region have undergone divergent and varied changes. This is due, in part, to the volatility in property markets and world of finances in recent years. Public-sector reforms have affected some administrations more than others.

Nevertheless, we find general trends across the region. For example, in most jurisdictions, online services have become more accessible. This brings both the potential to expand the public function and breadth of the registry and new risks to security and confidentiality in electronic systems. Countries make decisions concerning which processes should remain manual and which should be expedited through online access. There are more and more features which land registries can capture and display in the digital environment.

Electronic information and registration The digitization of land registration information and the provision of online information and registration services have advanced significantly since 2005. In total, 17 out of 23 responding jurisdictions have 100 per cent of their maps in digital form and available online. In 14 jurisdictions, more than 80 per cent of title inspections are carried out online. There is still room for growth — only 20 per cent of jurisdictions process all transactions fully electronically, while 32 per cent do not process any transactions on a fully electronic basis.

Disaster recovery Partly due to the transition from paper-based to digital offices, there has recently been significant progress in implementing disaster recovery plans across the region. In the event of a disaster, 17 out of 22 respondents could restore title registers and maps within 48 hours. For countries where all records are digital, and sufficient backup systems exist, recovery could be much sooner.

Taxes and charges The area of an average-sized dwelling located in an average-priced suburban area of the largest city in the 23 responding jurisdictions is 92.4 m2. The average price for such a dwelling is €174,200 (based on 22 respondents), while the average total registration fee (including land registration fees and all professional fees such as legal, notarial and survey fees) paid by both the seller and the purchaser on a transfer of ownership for an average-priced dwelling is €3,440.7 (based on 21 respondents).


42

Inspection and registration fees The fee for an inspection of the title register ranges from €0 to €20.4 in 23 responding jurisdictions, with an average fee of €5.3. The survey revealed significant variations in fees charged for registration services across the region. For example, only in some jurisdictions were fees charged for the registration of a mortgage or charge based on the value of that mortgage.

Speed of registration Instantaneous access to land title information is now available in 16 jurisdictions, while the average time to obtain an officially certified extract of a title register cadastral map was less than five days for all responding countries.

Annex: Questionnaire Text and Responses This section presents the text of the survey as it was sent, as well as summary information about responses received.

A. General definitions and clarifications

This survey relates to activity during the year 2011 and all statistics should relate to that year.

Where a particular date is required, the date applied should be the position as of 31 December 2011.

“Actual” means that the material is evidential based and is supported by verifiable statistics.

“Estimated” is to be used where verifiable statistics are not available but a reliable estimate can be provided.

Please note the following:

“Applications applied for on-line” at 3.4 means that the application must be made electronically, paid for electronically (if a fee is payable), submitted to the land registry electronically and not require any paper application in support.

“Associated support work” means staff involved in the delivery of information services, support of ICT, data cleansing, map update work and all other such support work required to maintain the registers and maps together with the support staff in administration in the organisation such as Human resources, Finance and Corporate Services.

“Boundary or boundaries” means the legal boundary to property as defined by vector information on a map.

“Days” mean working days.

“Digital map” means a map held in electronic format recording boundary information at accuracy levels that are suitable to support land administration requirements for recording title boundaries with precision. Such maps would have underlying topographic details of relevant physical features and be linked to the geodetic framework.

“Digitally certified extracts of the register” at 3.5 means that the certified copy is issued by the land registry in electronic format and no supporting paper document is required or issued.

“Disaster recovery” means having a capacity to implement a plan to recover and restore computer services (or paper records) in the event of a complete computer system or paper record loss.

“Fully electronically processed” at 3.6 means that the application for registration is made on-line, the fees are paid on-line and all of the processing is automated or automatic with no paper required at any stage of the process.

“Informal Settlement” means property used for habitation where the occupier has not established legal title.

“Land administration agencies” means all agencies/persons of the State or on behalf of the State (including but not exclusively the land registry) that are typically required to provide


45

information, certification, permission, surveying or registration services in relation to a purchase/sale of property.

“Land Registry” means the agency/agencies with responsibility for the registration/recording of title, ownership, mortgages/charges/hypothecs, surveys (if appropriate) and boundary mapping and includes Registry of Deeds or the national cadastral agency, where appropriate.

“Manual interactions” at 9.4 excludes processes or interactions that are fully automatic or automated. This would exclude any processes where applicants have immediate electronic access to all of the records or facilities required to perform the procedure.

“Map” means a map with a scale that is suitable to support land administration requirements for recording title boundaries with precision. Such maps would have underlying topographic details of relevant physical features and be linked to the national geodetic framework.

“Non-registered” means a title that may be legal but is not recorded in the office of the land registry. This includes cases where documentation has not been submitted for registration or where documentation has been submitted but registration is delayed in the land registry.

“Ownership” means the ownership of a single title. A single ownership may comprise a number of owners or a number of parcels or both.

“Overall agency costs and fees” at 11.4 means the fees relating to the agency/agencies involved in the registration/recording of title, ownership, mortgages/charges/hypothecs, surveys (if appropriate) and boundary mapping and associated information services and includes any costs for PPP arrangements.

“Parcel” means “a single area of land or more particularly a volume of space, under homogenous real property rights and unique ownership”.

“Surveys” at 6.7 only relates to statutory surveys conducted by or directed by State authorities in connection with the sale and purchase of a premises.

“Title(s)” means the legal title to land. Land also includes a volume of space. A single title relates to the ownership of a particular property. A single title may be composed of one or more ownerships and may be formed by one or more parcels. There may be different layers of title to one parcel, in which case each title layer registered in the land registry should be counted as a separate title.

“Title registers” relates to the legal title which may, but does not necessarily, include the map. “Title registers” includes the registers of land, ownership and interests against land and the boundaries map and also includes cases where these are not all held on a single integrated register.

“Total operating costs” includes direct and indirect costs, such as charges for PPP arrangements, notional costs for rent to the State for premises and liability to the State for pensions of retired staff.

“Transaction” means all actions of the processing and registrations effecting a change in the register in the land registry/cadastral agency in respect of a single application such as a transfer of ownership and recording of any associated rights contained in the transfer deed. Each transaction such as a transfer of ownership, or a mortgage/charge/hypothec, or a cancellation of a mortgage/charge/hypothec should count as a single transaction, irrespective of the number of actual registration changes required.
