Problem Statement
The blockchain offers many advantages to real estate: To start with, let’s
consider buying an office building, a complex transaction involving banks,
lawyers, insurers, title companies, regulators, tax agencies and inspectors. They
all maintain separate records, and it’s expensive to verify and record each step.
An average closing takes 50–60 days. Blockchain technology offers a solution,
being a trusted, immutable digital ledger, visible to all participants, that shows
every element of the transaction.
What is Blockchain?
For all bitcoin blocks, you can see previous owners. What’s special about the
setup is that everyone on the platform can see previous owners and can validate
transactions. In traditional marketplaces, thieves could steal a title or good and
make up verification that contradicted the owner whom they stole from. In the
Blockchain, all parties would be deceived, an unattainable proof of work.
A public ledger that uses blockchain has a few crucial components, besides
open data. The second element is that, parties need a form of identity. This
identity can be created through the verification of others and through
participating in transactions verified by others. Identified buyers and sellers
transacting in a marketplace with repeating occurrences creates reputation of

This article discusses about how blockchain has brought a change in real estate
sector.It discusses about the six ways in which blockchain can or has changed
real estate. The first way includes the Platform and marketplaces. It basically
tells us how the blockchain platforms such as Atlant are used by sellers who
tokenise assets, essentially handling it like a live stock sale and liquidating that
asset through a token sell using the platform. The second is the Intermediate in
which blockchain could be used to cut intermediaries out of the real estate
transaction process, thereby reducing costs. The third way is Liquidity in which
the introduction of cryptocurrencies and tokens in which trade can take place for
fiat currencies through exchanges. In which it basically states that a seller
doesn’t have to wait for a buyer who can afford the whole property in order to
get some value out of their property. The fourth is the fractional ownership.
Initially a large amount of money is required upfront to acquire a property. But
through blockchain investors would simply have to access a trading app to buy
and sell even fraction of tokens as they see fit. So even if a token represents a
single physical asset like a house through fractional ownership that asset can be
divided into parts and sold to several owners which can also reduce the
maintenance cost and leasing. The fifth way is decentralization through which
E.Case Study
Review
The goal of the study was to examine how blockchain would can increase the
quality of record keeping and increase efficiency and operate adhering to local
laws of brazil. The Ubiquity blockchain platform announced a pilot project with
a local real estate registry office located in the southern State of Rio Grande do
Sul. The goal of the project was to create a pilot program for the regions official
land records in an effort to reduce cost,improve accuracy,security and
transparency of land records.Nathan Wosnact the Ceoof Ubiquity articulated
regarding the project that : “The block chain allows ownership and title disputes
to be handled in fair and transparent fashion and serves as a backup in case the
original is destroyed or misplaced. The study also explains how blockchain
platform is using information and how blockchain runs through Ubiquity
platform blockchain.The key findings from the study emphasized on how
tokenisation can work in blockchain based land transaction recording and for
possible further solution development such as key management,data
architecture, identifying management to establish authenticity of ledger based
transactions and long term preservation.

All of the administrative and legal hurdles associated with trading commercial
real estate assets, transactions are slow and costly.
“Does it make sense for governments to invest in a blockchain based real estate
processes?” While the research described in one of the papers referred is still
ongoing, it is evident now that the Canadian real estate market could benefit
from blockchain technology and the same can be applied slowly and steadily to
markets around the world.
6.Conclusion
There are many application areas of blockchain but one area where blockchain
can make a large difference, is within real estate transactions.
Blockchain technology has the potential to address many challenges within the
real estate industry, including:
Improving trust and transparency: Blockchain technology offers a
verifiable and censorship-resistant option for sharing information (such
as valuation details).
Reducing databases: Real estate processes would benefit from secure and
tamper-resistant shared databases that compile data and documents
from various different stakeholders in one place.
Making transaction processes more efficient: Most real estate transactions
are still conducted through wire transfers and require costly verification
processes that can take days to complete. Blockchain-based transactions
could enable a streamlined process which delivers quickly and reduces
costs.
Limiting the use of intermediaries: Many intermediaries — from brokers
to escrow companies — could be rendered obsolete by blockchain-
based approaches, as records could be stored, verified, and transferred
Hence, blockchain has got a huge potential in the real estate industry and it can
be used to secure and save a lot of information.
