Property Issues and the Importance of Recognizing Boundaries in Rural Properties.

As a result of the abandonment of the rural world, those who are knowledgeable about the terms of their properties often disappear without transmitting all their knowledge to their heirs and descendants. They are often belittled by arguing the low value of the property and the affordable cost of the IBI. However, new exploitation opportunities (game reserves, new truffle crops, apple trees, rural tourism, sale to investors, inheritances, segregations, etc.) put on the table the importance of having the property well delimited.

For example, that potential buyer who comes from Northern European countries, where the cadastre reflects reality. It is very common that when comparing the registered and cadastral area, discrepancies appear that will need to be corrected in order to proceed with any type of deal. This process is slow and will easily set back the potential investor.

On the other hand, the lack of transfers recorded in the registry means that segregations or purchases made through private contracts induce some clever person to resell the property, recording himself as the last owner.

A SPECIFIC CASE.

We recently worked on one of these cases in the Montseny area, where the new owner of the property discovered that the land registry did not correspond to what he had supposedly purchased. When he wanted to rectify it, he was not listed as the owner in the land registry and therefore had no way of fixing it. Thus, he found that the last registered owner was exploiting the wood of the segregated property, not recognizing in any way the ownership by our client and trying to assert his right of usufruct.

For our part, the property was toured with people from the area, recognizing landmarks and terms, which were contrasted with the purchase and sale plan and the report was written with the corresponding historical route of the property. Fortunately and after years of struggle and perseverance, our client has managed to move forward with a domain file, its ownership being recognized and the possibility, the property being identified unequivocally by Altiplà, ofupdate cadastral data.

This data has been accompanied by the resulting plan with a list of coordinates of the landmarks that were recognized. The implementation of new landmarks on the ground to complement the existing boundaries will facilitate possible exploitation or future inheritances, so that our client will not have any obstacles in the future in the recognition of the property either at an official level or by neighbors and heirs.
