ingatlannyilvántartás

Ingatlannyilvántartás refers to the official register of real estate in Hungary. It serves as a public record of all land parcels, buildings, and their ownership status. The primary purpose of the ingatlannyilvántartás is to ensure legal certainty and transparency in property transactions. It contains crucial information such as the cadastral number of the property, its size, type, and location, as well as details about the registered owner or owners.

The ingatlannyilvántartás is maintained by the National Land Registry Office (Földhivatal). Any changes in property ownership, such as sales, inheritance, or mortgages, must be officially registered to be legally valid against third parties. This registration process, known as "bejegyzés," provides protection for buyers and lenders by clearly defining who has rights to a particular property.

Citizens and authorized entities can access the ingatlannyilvántartás to obtain property information. This access is typically through official requests, which may involve fees. The integrity of the ingatlannyilvántartás is vital for the functioning of the Hungarian real estate market, preventing disputes and facilitating secure property dealings. It is a cornerstone of property law in the country, ensuring that all rights and encumbrances related to real estate are publicly documented.
