Government decision: Real estate mortgage transactions to be  conducted online and without a notary

ArmInfo.  The Real Estate Cadastre Committee is expanding its verification capabilities for  real estate transactions. During a government session  on July 23,  Committee Chairman Suren Tovmasyan presented the draft  enabling  tripartite agreements to be concluded online for primary market  mortgage financing between a developer, a buyer, and a bank or  mortgage company licensed by the Central Bank.

The implementation of this project will allow parties to execute  contracts remotely and complete the verification procedure, which  will serve as the legal basis for registering property ownership.  Considering that banks verify all necessary client parameters when  providing a mortgage loan, the Real Estate Cadastre Committee is  introducing a new mechanism that allows transactions to be concluded  within the Committee's electronic system without notarization. This  transaction will be submitted by the bank directly to the state  property rights registry, enabling buyers to remotely purchase real  estate in newly constructed buildings.

"We will continue working in this area. We will simplify the  administration of those types of transactions that can be carried out  digitally. We have various projects—some are already in circulation,  while others are still at the concept stage—which we will present  soon," he said.

Regarding security, the head of the Committee noted that significant  work is also underway. In particular, a tender has been announced to  strengthen the server infrastructure and bring it into compliance  with advanced security standards, making the system more modern and  secure.
