Surface discrepancy up to 10% avoids need for Article 199 procedure

The resolution states that under Article 201.3 of the Mortgage Law, if surface differences do not exceed 10%, the Article 199 procedure is unnecessary. This simplifies rectification and eliminates the need for an additional procedure to verify surface discrepancies, provided the difference is certified (Art. 201.3).

In 2 key points

  1. Surface differences up to 10% avoid processing under Article 199 (art. 201.3)
  2. Certification is required to verify the surface difference (art. 201.3)

How it affects those involved

Property owners submitting requests for surface correction whose surface difference does not exceed 10% can avoid the processing required under Article 199, thereby saving time and costs. Registry authorities can process more applications without additional workload. Advisors must verify the percentage difference and the certification to ensure the no-processing criterion is met. Applicants must submit the relevant certification to benefit from the simplified regime.
