Neighbouring parties can oppose graphical representation registration with supporting documents

The resolution states that a neighbour may oppose the registration of a graphical representation of a property, providing documents proving their ownership. This right is governed by Article 199 of the Mortgage Law and allows neighbours to exercise their right of opposition through documented arguments. Previously, the types of documents accepted were not clearly defined.

In 2 key points

  1. Adjacent landowners can object with documents proving their ownership (art. 199 Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. The objection must be based on claims supported by justifying documentation (texto del recurso interpuesto)

How it affects those involved

Property owners of adjacent land can now lodge objections supported by documentation proving their ownership, increasing transparency and the right to defence in these procedures. Land registration authorities must review and assess the claims supported by documentary evidence. Property advisors must inform their clients of the right to object and the need to submit documentary proof.
