The analysis of the updating time of subject and object data due to the information flow between the systems of the real estate cadastre and the land and mortgage register

This article presents the connections between the real estate cadastre (REC) and land and mortgage register (LMR) in terms of the time of passing geographic and legal information between these systems. The studies were carried out in the units responsible for the Inventory of Land and Buildings (ILB) and courts keeping the land and mortgage register in 2002 and in 2012. The results of the studies on the information flow from LMR to REC in 2002 revealed significant inaccuracies. Many cases of outdated information were found in ILB. After introducing legal changes in LMR and sending the message about this fact to the register, the time of introducing the information into the system, in some cases, exceeded even 1200 days. Based on the same studies, it was also observed that some courts responsible for land and mortgage register did not update the content of the register, despite the fact that ILB informed them on the changes. The studies carried out in 2012 were to define the present situation with the time of the exchange of object and subject data between the mentioned systems. A subsequent analysis of the time of updating information to verify to which extent legal as well as technological and informatics changes of the recent decade improved the co-operation between REC and LMR systems. Based on these studies one can also state that in the offices in Poland the information flow is still irregular. There are still problems with the updating the data revealed in the real estate cadastre and the land and mortgage register. While the recent progress in technology and informatics facilitated the access to information both in the real estate cadastre and in the land and mortgage register, nowadays also in an electronic form, it did not provide automatic integration of data between the systems nor prevented the data redundancy. Only the creation of the Integrated Real Estate Information System (IREIS) would provide the on-line updating of the data change in both systems. The basic goal of IREIS would be providing the access to reliable and up-to-date information on the real estate, collected in public registers.
