Adjacent owners: 30-day deadline to object to property description rectification

The resolution denies the registration of an alternative georeferenced graphic representation of a property due to objections from adjacent owners, in accordance with Article 199 of the Mortgage Law. This procedure requires neighbouring owners to submit their objection within 30 days of being notified of the application. The change implies that the opposition of neighbours must now be considered a prerequisite for the rectification of a property's description.

In 2 key points

  1. Adjacent owners must object within 30 days to prevent rectification (art. 199 Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. Objections from adjacent owners prevent the registration of an alternative graphic representation (resolución de 4 de marzo de 2026)

How it affects those involved

Adjacent owners must act within 30 days to object; otherwise, the rectification will be deemed valid. Registry administrations must notify neighbouring owners and verify compliance with the deadline. Property advisors should inform clients of the deadline and the obligation to object if they have interests in the property. Owners who fail to act may lose rights regarding the property's description.
