Land register

Public register of ownership, encumbrances and rights over real estate in Austria.

In brief

The land register is public under section 7 GBG. Under section 4 GBG, the acquisition, transfer, restriction and cancellation of registered rights are effected by entry in the main register.

Review question: Which entries and annotations appear in the current extract, and does that register status match the auction file and auction conditions? The extract alone does not justify a blanket statement on the survival, extinction or rank of a right.

For creditors, the creditor file matrix separates title, security and enforcement file. Buyers can record the land register, edict and valuation separately in the buyer checklist.

This explanation gives a general overview of Austrian law and does not replace a lawyer’s examination of the individual case.
