With an amendment incorporated into this law, a three-month extension was given to the exclusive deadline for correcting an inaccurate first entry in the Land Register for the areas that were registered before 2006, and the original fourteen-year deadline expired in 2018. The provision concerns tens of thousands of undeclared properties throughout the country, registered as “unknown owner” for which if the deadline is missed, ownership is also lost.
This regulation is insufficient because this extension intentionally excludes both the 21 regions of the country that the deadline expired from August to December 2017 and the properties of “unknown owner” already started to go to the state, as well as the 14 areas whose deadline for legal claims expired in the two months of October – November 2018. POMIDA has a permanent request for the extension of this deadline until the completion of 20 years, in order to comply with the relevant provisions of the Civil Code regarding use and limitation.
POMIDA publishes for the first time a table in which all the cadastral offices in operation in the country are displayed, the date of the start of operation of each one, and the now valid date of expiry of the exclusive period for claiming the properties registered as ” “unknown owner” by their owners, after which they are transferred to the Greek State.
In the attached table:
The areas where the exclusive deadline has expired and NOT given are marked in red retroactive extension.
Areas highlighted in pink which (after extension granted) expire within 2019.
In other areas the exclusive deadline expires from 2020 onwards.
