Answer:
Yes. If the agreement includes all essential details (plot number, location, price, and area), the payment is proven, and the seller has not raised any objections, the court has the authority to deem the contract valid and to oblige the seller to register the land in the buyer’s name — even if the plot is not listed in official records at the time of the hearing.
The absence of the plot in cadastral or municipal databases is considered a technical matter and does not invalidate the agreement.
