Registering your property with the Land Registry

Signing the deed is not the last step of a purchase, an inheritance or a gift. For your ownership to be protected against third parties, the transaction must be registered with the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad). It is a procedure that is sometimes delayed or complicated by defects in the documents.
Why registration matters
Registration makes your right public and strengthens your position against third parties. Not registering exposes the owner to third parties acquiring rights over the property and makes selling or mortgaging it harder.
How the registration process works
Paying the taxes
Before registration, the taxes on the transaction must have been filed: ITP or AJD on a purchase, inheritance and gift tax on an inheritance, and notification of municipal capital gains tax.
Submission to the Registry
We submit the deed and supporting documents to the registry that covers the property.
The registrar's assessment
The registrar reviews the document and decides whether it can be registered. The registrar assesses within 15 working days: with no defects, it registers; otherwise it suspends or refuses registration with a reasoned note.
Correcting defects
If the registrar identifies a defect, we analyse the assessment and propose how to correct it. The assessment can be appealed or submitted for a substitute assessment, and the entry of submission keeps its priority for 60 working days.
Registry extracts and certificates
We also request land registry extracts and certificates to establish a property's situation before a purchase, a claim or an inheritance.
Bylaws and community documents
Owners' associations may also need to register their bylaws or changes to the deed of constitution. We coordinate this with our service on owners' meetings, minutes and bylaws.
Documents we will ask for
- The authorised copy of the deed or document to be registered.
- Proof of the ITP or AJD self-assessment and of the municipal capital gains tax notification.
- Any supplementary documents the registrar requests, such as powers of attorney, licences or certificates.
Common mistakes
- Treating the transaction as finished once the deed is signed, without registering it.
- Submitting the deed before the taxes have been paid.
- Not responding in time to an assessment identifying defects.
How we help
We handle the whole procedure: we submit the documents, follow up the application, deal with the registrar's assessments and let you know when registration is complete.
This guide provides general information and is not a substitute for advice on your specific case.
Good to know
Before you take the first step.
Time limits
The registrar assesses within 15 working days, and the entry of submission expires after 60 working days: that is the window to fix defects without losing priority.
Requirements and documents
The authorised copy of the deed, proof of the ITP or AJD self-assessment and of the municipal capital gains tax notification and, if the registrar asks, supplementary documents such as powers of attorney, licences or certificates.
Procedure
We submit, follow the assessment and fix defects. If we disagree with the registrar, we appeal: many negative assessments are overturned on appeal.
