Syria has suspended nearly all real estate transactions indefinitely, including sales, donations, and exchanges. This suspension, implemented through two circulars from the General Directorate of Cadastral Affairs and the Ministry of Justice, also halts the registration of litigation notices related to property. While some administrative tasks like issuing property registration statements and land survey reports are still permitted, the core function of transferring or modifying ownership is frozen. The government cites coordination with “relevant authorities” for the suspension, hinting at a potential effort to prevent fraudulent property transactions from the previous regime and protect rightful owners. However, the lack of transparency and a clear timeline raise concerns about the long-term impact on property rights and the Syrian real estate market. While potentially well-intentioned, the indefinite suspension could harm legitimate owners and create further complications in an already unstable environment.
