The Spanish Land Registry Extract
What is a land registry extract, and why is it needed?
A Spanish land registry extract (in Spanish: nota simple, nota registral, or nota informativa) is a legally relevant document that contains important information about a property. It includes details about the owner, plot size, location, encumbrances (e.g. mortgages), and previous transactions.
This document is essential for both buyers and sellers of real estate, as well as for legal or financial matters. It confirms ownership status and reveals any potential charges or restrictions.

What Information Does the Spanish Land Registry Extract Contain?
Spanish terms: nota simple / información registral
A Spanish land registry extract is divided into three main sections:
1. Type and Description of the Property
Includes property type (house, flat, garage, land, etc.), size, spatial location, neighbouring properties, and possibly the cadastral reference number.
Note: This section may not always reflect the actual condition of the property, e.g. if extensions haven’t been recorded.
2. Owner(s)
Lists individuals or companies, including name and ID (DNI / NIE) or company number. Also shows how the property was acquired (e.g. purchase, inheritance), the notarisation date, and the notary’s name.
3. Encumbrances
Lists any burdens on the property, such as mortgages, rights of way, rights of residence, seizures, or ongoing legal proceedings.

The Spanish Cadastral Plan (and Information Extract)
What is a cadastral plan, and how does it differ from a land registry extract?
A cadastral plan is a graphical representation of a property, showing boundary lines, size, and location. Unlike the legally binding land registry extract, the cadastral plan has no legal status and is used for tax and informational purposes.
It also includes the cadastral reference number, parcel description, detailed surface data, and the year of construction.
Who Needs a Spanish Cadastral Plan?
For Property Owners
Check the visual layout of the property, including boundaries and total area
Confirm that cadastral data matches the actual situation
Use as a supplement to the land registry extract for planning or legal clarification
Support renovation or extension plans with location and size data
For Property Buyers
Understand the exact location and size of the property
Compare cadastral details with land registry records (discrepancies are common in Spain)
Support planning for construction or renovation projects
For Tax Purposes
Confirm the cadastral reference number (important for Spanish taxation)
Provide data for property valuation or sale-related tax matters

Surface area of shared/common spaces
