Private individuals cannot submit documents to influence a Land Registrar's assessment

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith confirms that Land Registrars may refuse to record the presentation of documents that do not constitute registrable titles or whose sole purpose is to influence the registration assessment (Art. 420.3 of the Mortgage Regulations). In this instance, an appeal by a private individual was dismissed; the individual had attempted to notify an administrative proceeding before the Tax Administration to prevent seizures, but the document was rejected as it could not trigger any registration operation (Art. 420.3 of the Mortgage Regulations).

In 2 key points

  1. Refusal of the presentation entry if the document cannot trigger any registration operation, Art. 420.3 of the Mortgage Regulations (art. 420.3 Reglamento Hipotecario)
  2. Two-month period to appeal the resolution before the Civil Court of the provincial capital, Arts. 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law (arts. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

Private individuals or interested parties regarding a property cannot use the Land Registry as a channel to notify the Registrar of administrative or judicial matters to 'alert' them to external situations (such as tax file reviews) so they may be taken into account during the assessment process (Art. 420.3 of the Mortgage Regulations). The Registrar must only record the presentation of documents that are registrable titles or that possess registration efficacy by legal provision.
