Spanish public administrations are offering more and more facilities for citizens to consult their information or carry out certain procedures using their mobile phone. Applications such as Citizen Folder or Health Card allow you to get the most out of their respective electronic offices, and The Land Registry has also launched its own application.
The Land Registry is the public register which contains the description of rural, urban and special property properties. In addition, their registration is compulsory – and free –, therefore, If you own a property, with this application you can access all its information and even consult its public reference price, updated every year.
It is now available for completely free download on Google Play and can be accessed using the various authentication methods available to access the Internet headquarters. This is the digital certificate, PIN code or permanent PIN code. It is also possible to do this with a cadastral reference. Many of its functions can replace a web consultation or a callso this promises to be of great help.
All information available
This application was created with the aim of providing citizens with easy access to all their data. Right after authentication, the properties you own will appear on the main screen. If you don’t have one, nothing will appear. If so, you will also be able to access many aspects of each of the properties, starting with their location.
In the same way, it is possible to access cadastral information and descriptive and graphic consultation documents of each one. These are official and are also available in the Cadastre’s electronic headquarters. To facilitate the use of the application, it is possible to assign an alias to each property, which only the user will see, to better distinguish them. This will not be public, but will rather replace on a personal level the cadastral reference of each property, which will appear on each file on the main screen.
Cadastre request
Free Android
A most interesting option is that it is possible to start the cartographic cadastre, locating the property on the map, as well as all its boundaries. In fact, even instructions can be obtained to help reach the user in case you don’t know how to do it. If you want to request a change to this information, the procedure is the same as usual, so you will have to exit the application to present the documentation.
If it is a property with unclear boundaries, it will be possible to save notes and photographs in your file allowing you to locate the plot on the territory. After, A report will be generated in PDF format and it will be possible to download and save it on your mobile to have it at hand when needed. You can also draw its boundaries freehand. This is all for personal use, so it will have no effect on the recordings.
Useful for notifications
One of the great advantages of the application is that it allows the user to receive notifications about any of the properties that appear. These can be disabled from the profile page, but it is best to leave them enabled so that you are aware of any events that occur and can view them when you have time.
Whenever a cadastral procedure concerns an owned property, a notice will be received indicating what its destination is. This will indicate if it is necessary to provide any type of documentation or make an allegation, if it is a record. If aid from the Common Agricultural Policy has been requested, the status of the request will appear.
Cadastral value in the application
Free Android
It is important to draw attention to These notices do not count for legal notification purposes.. This is not an electronic notification, as these must be consulted through the electronic headquarters and, when opened from there, any information will be considered notified. That is, until a notification is opened from the electronic headquarters, the time required to respond, plead or take any action will not begin to count.
Another of its options may also interest many people, because it allows you to see land prices. With that, The application will display the modules of the average value of the land on the map in dollars per hectare. These prices are determined by the Directorate General of Cadastre, and are defined in the Annual Report of the Rural Real Estate Market. To do this, certain factors such as its location and urban circumstances are taken into account. This is a reference value, therefore descriptive. In short, if you own real estate, this is a great addition that, although it does not replace the electronic seat, can be used to obtain information.
