Real estate is a physically separate part of the property, possessing features that make it inextricably linked with the land. In the legal sense, a real estate object is understood as property that is subject to state registration and can be the subject of civil legal relations.

Real estate encompasses various property types including residential (houses, apartments, rooms), non-residential (offices, warehouses, industrial buildings), land plots (agricultural land, building plots), and special objects (engineering structures, hydraulic facilities).
