Frequently asked questions
Is the certificate valid at a notary?
Yes. It is the standard document to declare an "obra nueva antigua" at a notary. We recommend confirming the specific requirements with your notary in advance.
What if aerial imagery is not clear for the year?
We combine orthophotos with cadastral records, registry information and constructive analysis. Where evidence is inconclusive, the most likely date range is stated.
Is it valid for cadastre updates?
The certificate can be filed as technical documentation to update cadastral records or amend the recorded date, following the applicable procedure.
How long does issuance take?
Usually between 2 and 4 weeks after we have access to the property and official records. Urgent cases can be expedited.
