Note: Tables A13 and A14 relate to sales of 5 hectares or more. The table is based on the date of sale defined as the date of completion of the deed transferring the property. There are substantial time lags between this and the date when complete information on the sale becomes available. The results for the latest year are, therefore, incomplete and those for the previous years may be subject to revision.
