I really don't get how people can believe a single second that this kind of projects can make any sense. What is the purpose of a blockchain for this? You cannot get rid of a central authority, because the transmission of land or really anything that exists outside of the blockchain you're planning to use cannot be transferred by simply writing something on the said blockchain. That only works for crypto-tokens because writing a transaction on their blockchain is performative (the transfer happens because it is written, the writing defines the truth, because those only exist has writing). However, writing anything else than a crypto-tokens transaction on a given blockchain can only guarantee that this something else is written on this given blockchain, and that's it. If you don't have any external authority that can make what you've written true (for example, the justice system to which you can go if the person to whom you have paid for a piece of land do not deliver) it has absolutely no value. That means you're not in a decentralized situation where you cannot trust anyone, which in turn means you don't need a blockchain. You just need a database. You might want that database to be publicly available and auditable and immutable, but even then you don't need a blockchain for that (since there is no need for a consensus mechanism), just a merkle tree structure (just use Git, Git works great).
