Registration information and real estate transactions
The Registration Information department provides legally binding information, in accordance with the relevant legislation on unresolved property issues, on whether applications have been made for the return of properties in the federal states that were formerly part of East Germany and in former East Berlin.
Under the Real Estate Transactions Act (Grundstücksverkehrsordnung), the BADV is, together with local authorities, responsible for issuing permits for the sale of properties and buildings and also deals with the transfer of inheritable building rights.
