Linking up national L<strong>and</strong><br />
Law systems across the EU<br />
– some practical steps<br />
Some Professional networks<br />
– successes with <strong>European</strong> colleagues<br />
Against the background of a disparate <strong>and</strong> evolving legal picture across member<br />
states, there have been examples of good practice being passed on at a practical<br />
level amongst professionals. <strong>European</strong> networks include, lawyers, notaries,<br />
barristers, property developers, l<strong>and</strong> information services, estate agents <strong>and</strong> surveyors,<br />
<strong>and</strong> credit providers. Some, like RICS 38 , are developing EU wide st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />
with professional registration schemes that will establish a professional st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />
service comparable across borders. A useful source of links to individual organisations<br />
<strong>and</strong> information on current EU legislation affecting the sector can be found<br />
at the <strong>European</strong> <strong>Property</strong> Federation 38 website.<br />
Likewise the existing work of organisations like the Society of Estates Practitioners<br />
(STEP), demonstrates that despite the minefield of conflicts of law regimes it is possible<br />
to offer useful <strong>and</strong> appropriate advice when clients can get access to the right<br />
professionals before embarking on cross-border property adventures.<br />
