Practice Area

Land Registry & Title

In Spain, registration in the Land Registry gives purchasers significant protection against undisclosed claims. Understanding what the registry does and does not guarantee is fundamental to every transaction.

Key concepts

  • The public deed (escritura pública) executed before a notary.
  • Registration and the principle of public faith of the registry (fe pública registral).
  • Preventive annotations (anotaciones preventivas) signalling litigation or embargo.
  • Coordination between the Land Registry and the Cadastre.

Rectification and regularisation

Where registered descriptions do not match reality, procedures exist to update area, boundaries or new construction (declaración de obra nueva). These processes can involve notaries, registrars, municipalities and neighbours, and timeframes vary.

This is a planned practice area of CANARIAS.LEGAL. Representation will be available once admitted lawyers join the firm. This page is general information, not legal advice.
