The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has suspended the registration of a property due to doubts regarding its identity, stemming from discrepancies in descriptions between the previous public title and the registration document. This suspension is based on Article 205 of the Mortgage Law, which allows for the suspension of registration when doubts exist concerning the identity of the property. The case concerns a company incorporated in 1975, whose contribution of properties was registered by a notary in Castalla, and analyses the descriptive differences between the prior title and the current registration application.
Notaries and Land Registrars must exercise greater rigour in cases involving doubts about property identity, particularly when descriptive discrepancies exist. Property owners or their legal representatives face delays in registration, which may affect ownership or mortgage processes. Registry administrations must review public titles more closely to prevent errors during registration. Property law advisors should be aware of this suspension mechanism to provide appropriate advice to their clients.
