Korean Real Estate Register Guide
Korean real estate register guide with risk checklist and 30+ legal terms.
About this tool
Korean Real Estate Register Guide explains the three-part structure of a Korean property register (Pyojebu / Gapgu / Eulgu), then scores each transaction risk β mortgage, provisional attachment, lis pendens, auction commencement, trust registration β into a four-tier grade (safe / caution / risk / danger). It auto-checks the Pyojebu (location, area), the Gapgu (ownership chain, strikethroughs, priority numbers), and the Eulgu (cumulative max-claim mortgage vs. 70% of market price + your deposit). Includes a 10-item pre-contract checklist and a 30+ term glossary. Share results via a base64-encoded URL with family or brokers; all flags live in localStorage only.
Use cases
Scenario 1
Same-day jeonse contract register check
On contract morning, take the iros.go.kr-issued register (β©700) and run it through the checklist to head off "underwater jeonse" risk.
Scenario 2
Pre-purchase mortgage total check
When max-claim mortgages + your deposit exceed 70% of market value, the tool flags "risk" β reconsider before signing.
Scenario 3
Auction / trust registration spotted
If the Gapgu shows an auction-commencement decision or trust registration, the tool flags "danger" and recommends halting the contract.
Scenario 4
Learn via the 30-term glossary
Click any term β priority number, max-claim, lis pendens β to read definition, example, and the related risk.
Scenario 5
Share results with broker / family
Encode the checklist as a base64 URL and send to your broker / family so everyone sees the same view before deciding.

Frequently asked
- Q. Where do I issue a real-estate register?
- A. From the Supreme Court iros.go.kr at β©700/copy. Issue it on the morning of the contract to capture the latest changes.
- Q. How is "underwater jeonse" risk decided?
- A. When max-claim mortgages + your deposit exceed 70% of market value (KB or MOLIT actual transaction price), itβs risky. The tool grades this automatically.
- Q. Is trust registration always risky?
- A. Trust registration places ownership with a trust firm; any contract or lease requires their consent. Uncomsented deals can be void, so the tool grades this "danger."
- Q. Can I ignore strikethrough entries?
- A. Strikethroughs are historical and no longer effective, but they show what debts existed and when. Repeated attachments / mortgages in the last 1β2 years warrant caution.
- Q. Is this legal advice?
- A. No. It is general educational content. For real contracts, disputes, or auction distributions, consult a licensed lawyer / scrivener / broker.
