How to Check the Public Registry Before a Property Deal
A Public Registry check should happen before a buyer commits money, not only when the deal is ready to register. The extract is the starting point for confirming what property is being sold and who has the registered right to sell it.
01 · Start with a fresh extract
Match the registered owner, cadastral code, area, description and registered rights with the property you were shown and the contract you are being asked to sign.
02 · Check registered restrictions
Review mortgages, seizures, public-law restrictions and other registered obligations. If something must be removed before completion, the contract should clearly explain how and when that will happen.
03 · Match the physical property
Confirm that the apartment, layout and area you are buying correspond to the registered object. If there is a difference, understand its cause and how it will be resolved before transferring significant funds.
04 · Know the limits of the Registry
A Registry extract does not replace a physical inspection, permit review, contract analysis, utility or management checks, or verification of facts that were never registered. Treat it as the base of due diligence, not the whole process.
