However that need is largely because there’s bureaucracy in the system and there’s no clear visibility on the documentation existing for the process to go through.
The blockchain allows all transactions to happen without middle men and with all information recorded in a fully transparent manner

Different Ownership models
Blockchain could open up newer models of ownerships. Like shared ownership helping first time buyers to purchase only part of property. Also, proportionately earn rental incomes on the same.
