The tabou, or Land Registration Office, is a central body for property registration in Israel, and obtaining a tabou extract is a crucial step in buying an apartment. This extract provides essential information about the property, including ownership, area, usage rights, building violations, and more. The extract can be obtained online or physically, ensuring that the data matches the purchased property. Registration with the tabou is necessary for a legal transfer of ownership, and therefore it is important to register a warning note after signing the contract to protect the buyer's rights.
The article also explains the different types of extracts, such as concentrated and historical extracts, and their importance. There are additional processes related to registration, such as mortgage registration and rights transfer, which require various documents and fees. It is recommended to consult a lawyer specializing in real estate to ensure that the purchase proceeds smoothly and without future issues.
