Resolution of 18 February 2026, of the Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith, regarding the appeal against the qualification note

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has resolved an appeal against the refusal to register a deed involving new construction, inheritance, and donation. The resolution emphasises that the Registrar must apply a tolerance margin of ±0.5 metres for urban properties and that discrepancies should not exceed 5% of the registered area to prevent unnecessary disruptions to legal transactions. It highlights the lack of absolute precision in cadastral and registry graphic bases.

In 2 key points

  1. Tolerance margin of ±0.5 metres for urban properties and not exceeding 5% of the registered area (texto fuente)
  2. Mandatory requirement to obtain the Cadastre's graphic identity certificate prior to a negative qualification (texto fuente)

How it affects those involved

For individuals and heirs, the resolution aims to prevent delays of 12 to 18 months caused by minimal surface area discrepancies in cadastral mapping. Land Registrars are advised of the requirement to obtain the Cadastre's graphic identity certificate and to apply established tolerance margins before issuing negative qualifications that halt the registration of rights.
