Methodological note

Methodological aspects

The aim of the Property Register, which depends on the Ministry of Justice, is to register or record legal or administrative acts, contracts or resolutions that affect property and other rights to immovable assets, whether privately or publicly owned, as well as certain legal resolutions that affect people's capacity.

The Property Register publishes the registered facts, acts and rights for those with a legitimate interest in knowing them. Also, provides legal security for the registered rights, safeguarding the security and agility of legal traffic and saving on transaction costs.
