As of 23 October 2026, the National Land Registry (Hellenic Cadastre) has officially entered into operation in Skopelos, marking the completion of the cadastral registration process on the island. Many years ago the first registration was done by many home owners through an office that was set up in Skopelos and others did it via an engineer.
The opening of the Hellenic Cadastre affects all property owners in Skopelos, including foreign nationals, as the first cadastral registrations now form the official record of property ownership and related rights.
However, even properties with valid title deeds or previously submitted declarations may contain registration errors.
Property owners are therefore strongly advised to verify their records to ensure that their ownership rights are correctly registered and legally protected.
What Are the First Cadastral Registrations?
With the launch of the National Land Registry in Skopelos, the traditional paper-based Mortgage Registry system is replaced by a modern digital Land Registry system. Under the new system, each property is identified by a unique cadastral number (KAEK), and ownership rights and related legal information are recorded electronically.
The first cadastral registrations provide an official record of each property, including:
Property identification: Its unique cadastral number (KAEK), location, boundaries and surface area.
Ownership details: The registered owner or co-owners, the type and percentage of their ownership rights.
Legal information: The relevant title deeds, the legal basis of ownership and any registered mortgages, claims or other encumbrances.
