Land Registrars must issue simple notes if the applicant provides a cadastral reference or physical location data

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith establishes that a registrar cannot refuse to issue an informative simple note solely on the grounds of missing owner names or property numbers, provided the applicant provides a cadastral reference or location data that allows the property to be identified (legal grounds). The registrar must use technical means and coordinate with the Cadastre to attempt to determine the property's correspondence before refusing publicity.

In 2 key points

  1. Cadastral information and physical location data allow for the presumptive identification of the property for the purpose of a simple note (fundamentos de derecho)
  2. The registrar must employ technical means and access to cadastral information to attempt to determine the property's correspondence (fundamentos de derecho)

How it affects those involved

For individuals and companies requesting registry information, the right to formal publicity is guaranteed as long as location data or a cadastral reference is provided, preventing automatic refusals due to a lack of specific registry data. Land registrars are now obliged to carry out diligent searches via the Cadastre's electronic office web services to attempt to locate the property before issuing a reasoned refusal.
