Ruling on the refusal of a filing entry due to lack of territorial jurisdiction of the Land Registry

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against the refusal of a filing entry at the Segovia No. 1 Land Registry. The Registrar refused the application to assign a short-term rental registration number, ruling that the property did not fall within her territorial jurisdiction (Art. 246.3 of the Mortgage Law). The appellant attempted to remedy the lack of identification by providing the cadastral reference.

In 1 key point

  1. Refusal of a filing entry due to lack of territorial jurisdiction of the Land Registry (Art. 246.3 of the Mortgage Law) (art. 246.3 Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For individuals managing short-term rental registrations, this ruling highlights the importance of the Land Registry's territorial jurisdiction when submitting applications (Art. 246.3 of the Mortgage Law). Failure to correctly identify the registered property or its inclusion in a different jurisdiction may result in the refusal of the filing entry, preventing the processing of the requested registration.
