Facilitating cross-border real estate transactions in Europe: An exploration
The aim of this research is to explore how cross-border real estate transactions in Europe can be facilitated.
To determine how the high complexity that underlies such transactions can be reduced, the study offers an in-depth comparative study into the land registration systems of the Netherlands, Germany, and England & Wales, an analysis of the obstacles to cross-border real estate transactions, as well as a discussion of relevant initiatives in the field. Based on this research, different strategies for the facilitation of such transactions were formulated.
