نقل ملكية العقار في النظام السعودي - دراسة مقارنة بين القانون المدني المصري والنظام السعودي

In most countries, real estate is the core of the national economy. It is the most important basis of credit in economic life. Various legislations are concerned with the way of transferring ownership of property. Due to the large number of regulations dealing with the various aspects of real estate issues in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi regulator established the Saudi General Real Estate Authority by a decision number (239) dated 25/4/1438 H. It was established for facilitating the in-kind registration of real estate, planning and approvals, beside other purposes. It is considered a fledgling body that needs to be compared with the relevant institutions in other legislations. This study attempts to illustrate the similarities and differences between the Saudi regime and the Egyptian civil law. This study concluded that the current Saudi regulation of transferring ownership of real estate is deficient. It recommended that the Saudi regulator to re-adjust the legal provisions, and avoid deficiencies. It also suggested that the Saudi regulator to unify the system of registration or real estate in one administrative or judicial authority, and amend the system of in-kind registration. Therefore, the right in-kind of the property is not transferred unless the disposal issued in the record in-kind.
