Confirm the property identity
Check the block (gush), parcel (helka) and, for a registered condominium, sub-parcel (tat-helka). A street address alone may not reliably identify the legal registration unit.
Read the rights section
Identify the registered right, the rights holder and the share or part recorded. Names, identification details and the nature of the right should be compared with the seller and transaction documents.
Review registered burdens and entries
The extract may include mortgages, cautionary notes, attachments, easements and other entries. Their wording, priority and practical effect must be analysed; merely seeing an entry does not determine how it will be handled.
Look beyond the extract
The document generally does not answer every planning, building, physical, tax, municipal or contractual question. Attachments such as the condominium order, plan and bylaws may also be relevant. A fresh extract should be obtained at the appropriate stages because the registry can change.
The second use of Tabu
After contractual and government requirements are satisfied, the Land Registry is used again to register the buyer's rights. The early extract is therefore part of due diligence; the final extract is evidence of the completed registration.
