It doesn't help you at all in the event of a breakup to be listed as the owner of the property in the land register.
What do you want to do after the breakup besides being with your ex’s parents? Live there?
Have the value of the property recorded at the notary’s office with your girlfriend, and then your contributed equity. In case of a breakup, that will be offset. The house will probably have to be sold afterwards anyway, as neither will likely be able to pay out the other. Just because you are listed in the land register doesn’t mean you have more rights to the house. Treat the property as cash... this way your girlfriend brings 15,000€.
Or are you expecting a massive increase in the value of the property?
As the girlfriend’s parents, I wouldn’t be inclined to gift you anything.
