Plaintiffs with georeferenced graphic representation: 30 days for the Registrar to register rectification due to identity doubts

The ruling establishes that when doubts arise regarding a property's identity and a report has been issued by the City Council, a plaintiff's appeal may request the registration of an alternative georeferenced graphic representation. This procedure is regulated under Article 199.2 of the Mortgage Law. Previously, there was no clear mechanism to resolve identity doubts through alternative graphic representation.

In 2 key points

  1. Registration of alternative georeferenced graphic representation is permitted in cases of identity doubts (art. 199.2 Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. The appeal must be submitted via a private application with a notarised signature (texto del recurso presentado el 28 de marzo de 2025)

How it affects those involved

Plaintiffs with properties in Marbella facing identity doubts can now demand the registration of an alternative georeferenced graphic representation, improving the clarity of the land registry description. Registrars must evaluate and act within a 30-day period. Property advisors should verify whether a City Council report has been issued to enable the filing of an appeal. The process allows for greater precision in the property's representation.
