Do you want to apply for a certificate of innocuousness for real estate property?

  • Basic information

    The certificate of innocuousness replaces the declaration of release from lien of the mortgagee and real creditor(s) in case of cancellation of a right to a part of the real estate to be written off.

    The certificate of non-detriment certifies that the sale, exchange or gratuitous transfer of a part of the land (of small value and size) from the uniformly encumbered real estate will not harm the interested parties. The issuance of a certificate of non-injury is an administrative act, therefore, according to the Administrative Procedure Act, the parties involved must be heard. The hearing shall take place in writing and a deadline shall be set.

    Requirements

    • The address of the land plot or the land parcel number as the cadastral designation must be known.
    • The applicant has a legitimate interest and the parcel is of minor value and extent in relation to the remaining part of the land, the beneficiary is expected to suffer a disadvantage and the rights of the beneficiaries are only slightly affected.
  • Procedure

    • Informal letter or application with details of the purchase agreement and the encumbrance(s) in the land register, written hearing of the parties involved if necessary.

If the outcome of the proceedings is positive, a notarized certificate of no objection is served.
