Interoperability Model for Land Registers (IMOLA)

  • IMOLA is a project of the European Land Registry Association.

  • "There is a need for a standard means of accessing basic land registry information within the EU. Yet, the cross-border exchange of information between European land registries is complicated.

  • Differences in national legislation and divergences inherent to the practice of land registration are the main causes of this complexity. Therefore, a need for a standard means of accessing basic land registry information within the EU, paired with the availability of explanatory material and the training of practitioners to improve the understanding of foreign legal systems, is evident.

  • Common points do exist and offer the possibility of defining a structure of key information shared by the majority of land registry systems. The IMOLA project, subsididised by the EC Civil Justice Programme, has performed in-depth research on these common key points, developing interoperability solutions that have made the differences understandable to the professionals participating in real estate transactions, and facilitate cooperation with other networks in order to contribute to the development of a European real estate and mortgage market.

  • The European Land Registry Association initiated the IMOLA-project with EULIS, the Colegio de Registradores de la Propiedad, Mercantiles y Bienes Muebles de España and the Dutch Kadaster."
