Ruling on identity discrepancies between registered property and georeferenced graphic representation

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against a decision by the Land Registrar of Luarca. The dispute arises from doubts regarding the identity of the registered property and the georeferenced graphic representation submitted for registration (Art. 199.2 of the Mortgage Law). The case examines the discrepancy between the description of boundaries and area following a partition operation, and the validation of the graphic representation against the cadastral map.

In 2 key points

  1. Suspension of the registration of the georeferenced graphic base due to identity doubts between the property and its graphic representation (art. 199.2 Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. Land registry assessment based on discrepancies in boundaries and area following technical measurement (art. 18 y 19 bis Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For individuals involved in inheritance partition processes, this ruling highlights the risk of registration suspension when georeferencing does not fully align with the registered or cadastral description (Art. 19 bis of the Mortgage Law). Owners must ensure technical consistency between physical reality, cadastral data, and the land registry to avoid negative registrar decisions.
