Applicants for property rectification: 30-day period to submit allegations in Article 199.1 Mortgage Law proceedings

The Resolution of 5 February 2026 suspends the registration of rectifications concerning property descriptions and georeferencing when allegations are made by notified adjacent owners, pursuant to Article 199.1 of the Mortgage Law. This mechanism allows applicants a 30-day period to submit allegations, which will be assessed by the registrar prior to registration. This change strengthens the protection of neighbouring owners during property modification processes.

In 2 key points

  1. Applicants must submit allegations within 30 days to avoid suspension of registration (art. 199.1)
  2. Allegations from notified adjacent owners are assessed by the registrar (art. 199.1)

How it affects those involved

Property owners requesting rectifications must submit their allegations within 30 days, otherwise registration will be suspended. Notified adjacent owners may submit allegations that directly affect the validity of the rectification. Land registry administrations must manage the deadlines and the assessment of allegations. Advisors must inform their clients about the deadline and the possibility of submitting allegations to avoid the suspension of the proceedings.
