Days needed to transfer a property to a new owner, for each country (World Bank Doing Business).

Days to complete every procedure needed to transfer a standard commercial property from seller to buyer. The World Bank discontinued the Doing Business report in 2021, so these figures come from its last editions (2019 or 2020 per country) and the year is shown on each card. They describe the largest business city and a standard case study, not every situation.
