What documents do I require to sell land or a property?

Today, selling a plot of land or a property has become an act that deals with many formalities. Starting with the agreement between the parties until the registration in Public Registers, there is a list of documents and procedures for making that can get us in trouble if we don't see it ahead of time, even more so if they are not performed with due care.

So you are a buyer or a seller, you need to know these important steps to not see you in trouble in the last moments of the transfer of your land or property. In the first place, you need to check the legal status of the land or property to sell. For this reason, it is advisable to have a good collection of the following documents:

Certificate or certificate of registration real estate:

The certificate it is known as the certified version of our game registration. This document is necessary to return it along with the minutes. However, another option is to make use of the certificate of registration real estate (CRI). In this document, issued by the Public Records, ensures the safety of your land or property, that it is more didactic than a certificate or an information copy.

It is important to mention that the IRC contains all the information of a certificate, only that this leads to a summary sheet that shows the legal status and up-to-date on your land or property. In other words, it shows in summary form the following data:

  • Data of the current owners
  • Main features of the land or property

Summary sheet (HR), and grounds-urban (PU):

These documents are obtained at the time in which you make the payment of the autoevalúo in the municipality corresponding to the location of the property that is to be transferred.

The summary sheet (HR) indicates the address of the property or land, the use of the property and the statutory value of this according to the National Regulations of Appraisals, which is used by all municipalities. This value will be the lowest that you will find on the market and for any reason, the sale price must be lower than this, since you run the risk of seeming a fraudulent tax.
