Buying and Selling: Ruling on Annulling a Sale Due to Non-Registration by Authorities

English:

Question #1540:

Should the authorities refrain from registering some property in the name of the buyer, does this entail the right to annul the agreement?

Answer #1540:

If, after the transaction has been made, it is discovered that the property was officially not transferable which is deemed as a defect in the common view, it should automatically give the right of revocation to the buyer.
