What is happening with the Cadastre in Corfu?

A meeting was held between the president of the Lawyers Association and the representative of the contractor consortium 'Geokatagrafi,' Vassilis Tsigas, which has undertaken the land registration project in Corfu and Thesprotia.

The rate of declarations in Corfu remains very low (with that of Thesprotia being only slightly better). Once the consortium processes the declarations and incomplete ones are rejected, the project is estimated to reach 15%.

In response to the president of the Lawyers Association's question on whether anything has been planned for the next steps and the remaining 85%, the answer was negative.

Mr. Tsigas stated that there will be no preliminary posting, but instead, a final posting directly. Therefore, the submission of declarations will cease after 1/12/2024. The processing of the submitted declarations' data will follow, and appeals will be judged, but only for those related to the submitted declarations.

Afterwards, and unless there is a legislative intervention, the final percentage (this minimal amount) will be integrated into the operational Land Registry, and any future land registration will have to be carried out by the Ionian Islans Land Registry Office. However, no one can guarantee that it will be able to do so, given that it struggles to even carry out its routine work.

In cases of ambiguity, the Land Registry Office will request court rulings, which will result in almost all property in Corfu being brought before the courts!
