Registry sources and analyzed documents
Our legal review is characterized by the exhaustiveness and depth of documentary analysis. We consult
multiple official sources to build a complete picture of the legal situation of each property:
- Real Estate Rights (Derechos Reales): Verification of the real folio and updated
registration, reviewing ownership history, transfers, approved plans, and registered encumbrances.
- Municipal Cadaster Registry: Checking registration in cataster, cadastral code, tax
payments and current rates, and compatibility with permitted uses.
- Notarial Documentation: Analysis of transfer deeds, powers of attorney, minutes of
assemblies (in case of properties in horizontal property regime) and any other document affecting
ownership.
- Encumbrances and Charges Registers: Detailed investigation of mortgages, garnishments,
prohibitions to alienate, preventive annotations, easements, and other limited real rights.
- Tax Situation: Verification of pending debts for property taxes, municipal rates,
public services, and special contributions.
- Collective Titles: In rural or peri-urban areas, we investigate the existence of
community titles, original rights, or collective easements that could affect the property.
For horizontal property regime properties, we extend our analysis to:
- Horizontal division document and community bylaws
- Minutes of the owners' community from the last five years
- Status of debts with the community and approved projects pending execution
- Licenses and permits for common areas
How we interpret findings and the legal recommendation process
Beyond simple data collection, our added value lies in the specialized legal interpretation of findings and
the development of practical recommendations that protect our clients' interests:
- Legal Risk Analysis: We classify each finding according to its risk level (high,
medium, low) considering its potential impact on property ownership, value, and use.
- Contingency Assessment: We evaluate the approximate economic impact of detected
contingencies, allowing the client to adequately dimension each situation.
- Remediability Evaluation: We determine if detected problems are fixable, the estimated
time, and the complexity of the regularization process.
- Mitigation Strategy: We propose concrete alternatives to manage or eliminate identified
risks, from contractual guarantees to regularization processes.
When risks are detected, our legal recommendation process follows these steps:
- Precise problem identification: We clearly define the nature and scope of each
contingency.
- Applicable regulatory analysis: We determine which laws, regulations, and jurisprudence
affect the specific case.
- Staged solution proposal: We present action options ordered by efficiency, cost, and
implementation time.
- Critical path for regularization: We establish a clear sequence of actions, estimated
deadlines, and recommended responsible parties for each task.
- Future prevention: We include recommendations to avoid the repetition of similar
situations in the future.
In complex cases, we can complement our report with specialized consultations with notaries, registrars, or
municipal officials to confirm the feasibility of proposed solutions.
Our legal report not only identifies problems but offers a clear path to resolve them, allowing our clients
to make informed decisions with full knowledge of the legal implications associated with each property.
