Abstract

The article conducts a thorough study of the development of the mechanism of real estate rights in Ukraine. It is stated that, firstly, at the present stage, the mechanism of real estate rights and their encumbrances is a combination of three legal regimes, which the author conventionally designates as “non-registration”, “e-registration” and “e-conveyancing”. The war prompted the legislator to take the unprecedented step of introducing the reserve legal regime of “e-conveyancing” for the lease of certain agricultural land, which came into force on April 7, 2022.

Secondly, the author reveals the content of the “non-registration” regime, which includes both rights and encumbrances that exist outside the registration system due to their occurrence before the introduction of the modern electronic State Register of Real Property Rights and Encumbrances, and those that are directly excluded from registration by the will of the legislator (such as certain types of lease), or are excluded immanently due to the limited effect of the principle of registration (inheritance, encumbrance by virtue of a court decision, etc.).

Thirdly, the author notes that one of the cornerstone principles of the registration system – the principle of entry – is not absolute but limited in Ukrainian law, since there are cases when rights and encumbrances to real estate arise without making an entry in the register.

Fourthly, the author considers the restriction of the entry principle to be a risk factor of potential destabilization of turnover. In order to neutralize the negative effect, it is proposed to introduce automatic
