Buying Property in Slovakia: List Vlastníctva, CICA and ESKN

Match the ownership sheet to the offer

Slovakia’s official guidance describes a list vlastníctva, or ownership sheet, as part of the cadastral records. Ask for the cadastral area, sheet number and the parcel, building or apartment references relevant to the property. An address and an ownership name are useful cross-checks but do not identify all included interests.

For land or an apartment with accessories, keep each component on its own worksheet line. A single ownership sheet can concern several properties or shares. Ask the adviser to explain which of those entries belong to the proposed purchase and which do not.

Read Parts A, B and C

The official terminology describes Part A as the property information, Part B as owners and other entitled persons, and Part C as charges. Read the relevant information together. Check ownership shares and relevant burdens rather than concluding from a familiar owner name alone.

Ask for explanations of any mortgage, easement or other restriction affecting the proposed interest. Keep the entry reference and supporting document where needed. A short entry can identify a matter that requires investigation without describing every consequence for your planned use.

• Keep the cadastral area and sheet number together.
• Connect each marketed component with the relevant entry.
• Read ownership shares and charges as well as property description.

Use the current service links

VÚGK’s service-status page directs cadastral viewing to CICA and electronic cadastral services to ESKN. It also identifies services that are unavailable. Use the current official guidance to choose an available route rather than assuming every old bookmarked function still works.

Decide with your adviser what kind of extract is needed and whether the result is suitable for the intended purpose. The government guidance distinguishes information access from copies used for legal purposes. Keep a service failure or incomplete result recorded as unresolved, not as an empty property record.

Fictional example: the partial copy

This original scenario illustrates scope and does not evaluate a Slovak title.

Finish the physical and permission enquiries

Arrange suitable building-condition and boundary checks and ask the relevant authority about intended use or works. The ownership sheet is not a structural survey or a universal planning approval. Ask which records need refreshing before signing and how any unresolved matter will be handled.
