What information can be requested from the Property Registry?
In the Property Registry you can request various types of information, which are the following:
Simple informative note
It contains the identification of the property and its owner, as well as the real rights registered over it such as full ownership, usufruct and mortgage. Characteristics of the property such as its surface area, nature and limitations are also described. If requested, the English translation of the simple note can be obtained, but it will have an additional cost of about 30 euros.
Registration certification
It is a document that is signed by the Property Registrar and reliably accredits the registered rights over a property or whether it has liens or not. It has the same evidentiary value as a public document, that is, it can be used in a judicial procedure as evidence.
There are various types of certification which are the following:
- Domain and charges certification. It is the most common and contains the complete vision of the owner’s property, the rights that exist over the property (lease, usufruct) and the charges that the property has such as mortgages, easements, embargoes or tax conditions. If it has no charges, it will appear that it is free of charges.
- Literal certification. In this case, the Property Registrar literally transcribes one or more entries or inscriptions from the history of a certain registered property. We must know that this type of certification does not include the personal data of the owners due to Data Protection regulations and nor is information provided about the purchase price of the property.
- In some cases A certification can be requested to know if a document has been presented or not in the registry and to know if a registration has been made and what its content is.
- Finally , a certification by judicial or administrative order can be requested when it comes to an execution procedure for non-payment of debts that may have relevant legal effects, for example, the property may be seized and subject to a judicial auction.
