A warning note is one of the main legal tools in real estate transactions in Israel. When a seller-buyer agreement is signed, it is customary to write a warning note in Israeli Land Registry to inform the whole world that there is a commitment to make a transaction on the property.
The purpose of the comment is to prevent a situation in which the seller will sell the same property to another person, or register additional liens on it after signing the contract.
When a warning note is recorded in Israeli Land Registry, it creates a sort of "warning flag" in the land registry. Anyone who inspects the property can see that there is a commitment to the transaction.
This means that the seller cannot make a conflicting transaction with another buyer, and banks or third parties will see that the rights in the property have already been promised to the buyer.
Despite its importance, a cautionary note does not constitute a full protection against all risks in a real estate transaction.
For example, it does not protect against building irregularities, municipal debts, planning problems or problems with the seller's property rights.
Therefore, it is important to conduct extensive inspections before purchasing a property. You can read more in our guide on the subjectPreliminary Tests in a Real Estate Deal
A warning note is usually written immediately after the signing of the sale agreement, and sometimes even at the signing stage itself. Registering as early as possible is important to avoid unnecessary risks.
In many cases, the note registration is also a condition for receiving bank financing as part of a mortgage.
A cautionary note is a very important tool that protects property buyers and prevents conflicting transactions. However, it does not replace comprehensive legal and planning checks.

It is often said that lawyers are exploitative and unfair people. This office came to erase this stigma. The entire staff there is lovely, and they do their job faithfully. In my case, I dealt with Attorney Hussam Armali, and I must say that I have never met such an honest, decent, and goal-oriented person. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart 🙏
I contacted Karen just to figure out whether it was worth selling a piece of land we inherited or keeping it. She sat down with me and explained the whole picture – rights, taxation, what can be done in the future. She didn’t try to push in a certain direction, and that was the most important thing to me.
Karin Amsalem, a professional and thorough attorney of the highest level! Represented us in the process of selling a plot of land that we won in a tender. This is a complex process that includes registering lease rights in the Land Registry, payments to the Land Registry such as consent fees, refunding subsidies for housing and construction, as well as handling the appreciation tax, which includes many expenses. Karin managed the entire process with professionalism, accuracy and attention to detail, while fully protecting our interests as sellers. Throughout the entire process, we felt that we had someone to trust. Highly recommend her!
