Property Transactions Requiring State Consent

When you own a property, the general position is that you can do what you want with it. While the right to own land is guaranteed by law, there are exceptions in which State Authority consent is required before transactions or dealings can be carried out. In this article, we explain the situations in which restrictions in interest are endorsed on the title of the property or imposed by law. We also discuss when and how consent can be applied for and obtained.

State Consent

Section 92 of the National Land Code 1965 ("NLC") gives indefeasible rights to the registered owner of a property. These rights include the right to transfer, charge, lease, surrender and other dealings permitted under Division IV of the NLC.
