Resolution by the Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith regarding a registrar's refusal to issue a certificate

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against the refusal of the Land Registrar of Las Rozas de Madrid No. 1 to issue a negative certificate. The registrar suspended the request because the description of the parent property (3,043) is incomplete following successive subdivisions, which would make it impossible to issue an accurate certificate without causing defects in the accuracy of the land registry (Facts II).

In 2 key points

  1. Technical impossibility of issuing certificates without defects due to the lack of description of the remaining part of a parent property following subdivisions (Hechos II)
  2. Parent property 3,043 has a history of 24 subdivisions without a description of the remaining area (Hechos II)

How it affects those involved

For the individuals and entities (Blenheim, SL and Cadogan 05, SL) requesting the certificate, the resolution addresses the technical impossibility of obtaining a document certifying the non-registration of cadastral plots when the parent property lacks a description of its remaining area following mass subdivisions (Facts II). The conflict lies in the tension between the right to land registry publicity and the requirement for technical accuracy in certificates.
