Registered assets

The ownership of certain types of properties is registered with the relevant authorities, but this information – although publicly available – can only be accessed in certain circumstances. Information on land parcels and buildings/houses (including the name of the owner), for example, is registered with the real property registry at the Legal Affairs Bureau and any person can access it by obtaining a copy of the registration.
