In accordance with the Law on Real Rights of FBiH, real rights to immovable property are acquired on the basis of a legal transaction, the law, court or other competent authority decision and inheritance.
Real property rights are entered in the appropriate court registers that provide access to data such as the size of a particular property, holders of property rights and any encumbrances on the property.
Ownership right to the property is acquired at the moment that right is entered in the appropriate court register. Therefore, no registry entry – no ownership right. Also, when buying property, the first step for the buyer is to check the land registry excerpt from the appropriate court register to verify the holders of property rights and any encumbrances on the property.
For our clients, we inspect the relevant court registers to collect information about the property and provide services required to enter or delete any rights from the register, subject to appropriate legal grounds.
