Hi Bigyin,

You Wrote: "Hmmm....slightly confused here.  Are you saying that the parecella info shown on the G/E overlay (which is the same as on my escetura) is only for tax (BASE) purposes and it's possible that the property still isn't registered at the registro de propiedad ?  If that were the case, what would be the possible adverse consequences. ?

And that is exactly the case. the Catastro and the Registro de propiedad are two different registrations with its one purpose. Spain did start rather late with  a good registration of property-ownership. So a lot of fincas are not registred at all in the Registro. I think the story of my finca gives an idea of the possible consequences. When I bought it the Catastro had registred two pieces of land and one building. In the Registro there was only one piece of land and no building. To fix this an architect must make a declaretion of the building to exist and has been there for a certain amount of time. For the missing piece of land there must made a public declaration at the town hall to see if someone (other then the seller) would claim rights to the land. You can imagine it did take a while and some money before we could apply for a building permit ;)
