Retrocedat claims. Cadastral gaps. Communist-era construction flaws. Bank refusal probability. ICRAL is the only tool that systematically checks all of these — the risks that kill Eastern European deals.
Between 1945 and 1989, communist regimes expropriated millions of properties. After 1990, restitution laws created a 30-year window for original owners to claim them back. Even today, many properties have unresolved legal status — and foreign buyers usually find out too late. ICRAL scans for exactly these risks.
Zillow, Idealista, Imobiliare.ro — they show you the price. Your real estate agent shows you the view. ICRAL is the only tool that shows you the communist-era legal risks that can undo your purchase years later.
ICRAL stands for Independent Communist-era Risk Audit for Land/buildings. It's our proprietary scoring system that checks 6 categories of risk specific to properties in former communist countries.
Romania (full coverage), Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, and the former East Germany. Baltic states coming Q2 2026.
A lawyer costs €500–€2,000 per property and takes 2–3 weeks. ICRAL gives you an automated first-pass in 60 seconds for €19.99. We recommend you still hire a lawyer after ICRAL confirms the property is worth the legal fee.
No. ICRAL is a data-driven risk indicator based on public records. It's designed to flag properties that deserve deeper legal review, not to replace qualified legal counsel. Use it as step one of due diligence, not the only step.
Because volume matters more than margin on unique products. We want ICRAL to become the industry-standard first check for every Eastern European property transaction. €19.99 makes that accessible to every buyer, not just institutional investors.
