The General Directorate of Legal Security and Public Faith establishes that it is legally possible to increase the amount of a previously recorded attachment, even if there are other intermediate entries in the Property Registry. The resolution revokes a registrar's denial, clarifying that the increase (for instance, due to the maturity of new terms or insufficient interest and costs) enjoys the same priority as the initial entry against subsequent ones (art. 575.1, 578 and 613 LEC).
For creditors with an existing registered attachment, this ruling ensures they can request an increase in the amount due to new titles or interest without losing their registration priority against third parties who have registered their rights between the original entry and the increase (Art. 578 LEC). For third-party purchasers, their liability is limited to the amounts specified in the original entry at the time of their acquisition, subject to the exception of liability for principal, interest, and legal costs (Art. 613.3 LEC).
