The Greek Land Registry has now been fully migrated to the G-Cloud, completing one of the largest digital transitions in public administration in recent years.
All of the organization’s applications, information systems, and data have been transferred to the Government Cloud, with the aim of providing more stable and secure services for citizens and professionals.
The change is not immediately visible in citizens’ daily lives, but it substantially affects how the Land Registry operates. From searching for property data to notarial deeds, technical work, and corrections to entries, all digital services will now operate through a unified technological infrastructure.
Until now, a significant portion of the applications operated in different environments, as they had been developed at different times. Consolidating all systems into the G-Cloud enables better management, faster resolution of technical issues, and enhanced service reliability.
For citizens, the upgrade means greater stability in e-services and better responsiveness during periods of increased demand. The goal is to reduce delays and speed up service in procedures related to real estate.
The Minister of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence, Dimitris Papastergiou, stated: “The Land Registry is taking it to the next level,” noting that “the transition to G-Cloud secures a critical national infrastructure and creates the conditions for more reliable services, greater data security, and better service for citizens and professionals.”
At the same time, he added that efforts are continuing “toward the next major milestones: the completion of the land registry, the resolution of outstanding issues, and the country’s full transition to a fully operational digital Land Registry. Because modern public services need not only accurate data, but also robust digital infrastructure.”
What’s changing for professionals
The transition is considered particularly important for notaries, engineers, lawyers and bailiffs, who use the Land Registry’s services daily for contracts, technical deeds, and property inspections.
The new infrastructure is expected to deliver faster response times, fewer service interruptions, and better business continuity. These are factors that can significantly speed up the processing of cases and transactions.
Focus on data security
A key element of the transition is also the strengthening of data protection. The Greek Land Registry manages information regarding millions of properties, real rights, and transactions.
Hosting the data on the Government Cloud increases the systems’ resilience against technical failures and cyberattacks, while also enhancing the secure retention of records.
Referring to the project, the Deputy Minister of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence, Christos Dermentzopoulos, stated that this is an initiative “with a substantial impact on data security, service stability, and the daily support provided to citizens and professionals.”
As he noted, the transition to G-Cloud provides the Land Registry with a stronger technological foundation and greater resilience, enabling the development of more modern services. At the same time, he described the project as another step toward a state that is safer, faster, and more functional for citizens.
Closer to a fully digital Land Registry
The upgrade is directly linked to the completion of the cadastral survey, which is in its final phase. The new infrastructure lays the groundwork for the fully digital operation of the Land Registry in the coming years.
At the same time, transparency in real estate transactions is enhanced and inconsistencies between different information systems are reduced, which affects both property owners and investors in the real estate market.
Beyond the technical aspect, the transition to G-Cloud is considered an investment in the organization’s future operations, upon which the Cadastre’s upcoming digital services will be built.
