Interim Regulation on Real Estate Registration · Yalla China

不动产登记暂行条例 / Interim Regulation on Real Estate Registration

📝 Overview

A regulation (effective 1 March 2015) unifying registration of real estate and land-use rights in a single register. It makes official registration the decisive proof of ownership and real rights.

📜 The law text / key provisions

Key practical points:
• A real right in property (such as ownership or mortgage) generally arises or transfers on registration, not by contract alone.
• The unified real-estate certificate is the official proof of who holds the right.
• Before buying or renting, check the register to confirm the owner's identity and that the property is free of mortgages or disputes.
• The register covers land, buildings, mortgages, easements and more.
• Interested parties may inspect registration data within legal limits.
• Registration protects you against fraud such as double-selling or hidden mortgages.
