Purpose Blockchain, which was originally created to enable peer-to-peer digital payment systems (bitcoin), is considered to have several benefits for different sectors, such as the real estate one. In a standard European-wide real estate transaction, several intermediaries are involved. As a consequence, these agreements are usually time-consuming and involve extra difficulties to cross-border operations. As blockchain, combined with smart contracts, may have an important role in these transactions, this paper aims to explore its prospective challenges, limitations and opportunities in the real estate sector and discover how the traditional intermediaries have to face a possible implementation of this technology. Design/methodology/approach This paper analyses the current intermediaries in the real estate sector in European Union (EU), their functions and how can blockchain strengthen the security of these transactions while reducing their time. The author uses a legal methodology to approach it. Findings Blockchain, combined with smart contracts, has both challenges and opportunities for the real estate sector. On the one hand, it may improve procedures, allow EU transactions and the interconnection between public administration. However, to not reduce parties rights, this blockchain should have some special features, such as the possibility of being amended. Originality/value This paper provides a valuable overview of all the intermediaries that could be affected by blockchain protocols. It is of interest of blockchain developers, public administrations and researchers who are working on blockchain and property conveyancing.

Research background: Since the announcement by entrepreneur Elon Musk in the year 2021 about the inclusion of Bitcoin on the balance sheet of his automotive company Tesla, the economic significance of cryptocurrencies for the financial industry is taking on progressive importance. In addition to the financial economic consideration of cryptocurrencies, the underlying blockchain technology is undergoing a disruptive growth across industries – e.g. from automotive to real estate. Accordingly, in the report ‘Deep Shift Technology Tipping Points and Societal Impact’, the World Economic Forum predicted a far-reaching significance of the blockchain technology as early as 2015, and in 2020, the Global Future Council published a finding that the crypto market has reached a point of inevitability. Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to examine the degree of integration of the blockchain technology within the framework of a current market investigation using the real estate industry as an example. The leading application areas of the blockchain technology in the real estate industry will be presented. Methods: The market investigation of this paper is based, among other things, on a cluster analysis that examines a regional differentiation of the application areas on a global level. Findings & Value added: In this context, the market research indicates that the blockchain technology can be applied significantly in the real estate industry and that the Global Future Council finding can be replicated in many areas.

Blockchain has recently driven a financial revolution in the realm of virtual currencies, smart contracts, and escrow services. Over the last year, the technology has also been mentioned as a harbinger of change in real estate transactions and land title research. Speculation about the technology’s likely impact in various industries is more warranted in some instances than others. Goldman Sachs, for its part, has suggested that, like other industries which have benefitted from the transparency and efficiency of blockchain technology, the title insurance industry will experience a dramatic boost in the near future. This suggestion, however, fails to recognize both the efficiency already achieved by industry title plants and the extent of legal problems that arise during title research—very few of which blockchain holds promise of mitigating. Public land titling offices, on the other hand, stand to gain significantly by adopting the technology. Because of blockchain’s decentralized and unalterable structure, the technology is useful for protecting records from natural disasters and government corruption. This Comment charts the real property legal issues that blockchain likely will and will not address. Developers and investors will find that understanding what blockchain can and cannot do for the real estate industry is crucial, because blockchain hype looms large and, as Bitcoin’s recently fluctuating prices prove, the way forward for blockchain investment can be uncertain.

Blockchain (blockchain — chain of blocks) — Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). This is a combination of components that includes: peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, distributed storage, and cryptography (hashing and public-key encryption). Popular implementations of blockchain technology include Bitcoin as the electronic currency, which can be used to make money transfer transactions from one wallet to another. This paper considers Blockchain technology and the possibility of its usage to verify real estate information. There is a high demand today in the Ethereum platform for creating any decentralized online services based on blockchain (Dapps), working on smart contracts basis. Ethereum greatly simplifies and reduces the cost of implementing a blockchain. Representatives from various industries are interested in blockchain technology. These are mainly companies from different sectors of the economy, especially the banking sector, stock exchanges, etc. Also known applications of technology to the land register. It is implemented by both large players (Microsoft, IBM, Acronis, R3 banking consortium), and the new startups. The paper analyzes various types of real estate fraud and their impact. The requirements for building the architecture of the real estate information verification service have been collected. The architecture of the reasonable contract which considers all the requirements is offered. To implement the blockchain-based algorithm, a distributed Ethereum database based on smart contracts has been chosen. The built approach itself is based on the use of Blockchain technology. The architecture of the real estate information verification service has been developed using Blockchain technology, which, in turn, guarantees the successful execution of transactions and stable operation, which guarantees the entering, updating, and storing of real estate information and its verification.

AbstractAccess to housing is a crucial issue worldwide. It is still under discussion whether collaborative economy is enhancing or, on the contrary, constraining access. In this context, the concept of ‘collaborative housing’ (collaborative economy applied to the funding, access and organisation of housing) arises to address a range of situations that might potentially help people to access housing, such as co-housing or the so-called ‘intermediate tenures’. Disintermediation through blockchain technology, and the resultant effect of a reduction in the transaction costs of access to housing, is one of those trends regarding collaborative housing. Accordingly, the adaptation of the disintermediation mechanism to the real estate conveyance and land registry, as in many other sectors of the collaborative economy, is timely. This can be achieved by exploring the potential of this mechanism in enhancing traditional methods of this sector through possible technological solutions. This paper presents a preliminary discussion on the different types of collaborative housing and the potentials of the blockchain technology to facilitate access to housing in relation to real estate conveyancing and registration.

In today’s world global real estate investments have taken over more than twice the size of the stock market. Even after the dominance of the real estate market there are still a less number of investors due to liquidity and global access to sensitive or critical information. Due to various flaws in security in the current system, the tenants and owners are barely satisfied. The main focus of this paper is to incorporate the use of blockchain in the current real estate market and represent the facilities and advantages it can give to the real estate market. Blockchain based real estate is better because each block contains a cryptic hash of the previous record, a timestamp and transaction data which makes it difficult to forge documents and sensitive information of the investor. Another advantage of blockchain is that it is resistant to any type of data modification.  Blockchain technology can sort out the security issues and forgery incidents that are faced by the real estate market. Also blockchain provides much meaningful assets and insights to the real estate market at a reasonable and stable-priced market. The proposed solution for the selected problem statement is Tokenizing real estate assets refers to a process in which a property owner can offer digital tokens that represent a share of their property. Using a blockchain to track these investments, with each transaction being time-stamped and immutable, makes it possible to limit the risk of fraud.
