The land register shows who owns the property and which encumbrances rest on it. The encumbrances section (section C) contains liens, easements, real burdens, pre-emption rights as well as prohibitions on encumbrance and sale. These entries often also have effect against you as the new owner.

Mark below what applies to your property and which safeguards are still missing. The check compiles a prioritised task list from this and states an overall priority. The result is non-binding guidance and does not replace a review of the land register status in the individual case.
