    "Whether the Cadastre publishes an official per-area table of deadlines. Its website (ktimatologio.gr) blocked our requests, so the list in this guide is lex.gr's compilation, not an official one.",
    "The exact cut-off year for older survey areas covered by law 5160/2024. Reports on the bill and on the enacted law differ, and we could not read the Government Gazette text.",
    "What the online correction application, a court action or the mediation session cost. We found no reliable figures.",
    "Whether the non-court route for deeds already recorded in the old mortgage registry stays open after the court deadline has passed. The sources we read do not say.",
    "How a claim for return of the gain under article 7 §2 is valued in practice, and how long it takes. The law gives the right but not the method."
