Are you thinking about buying a new home, or have you already made up your mind? Today we’ll walk you through one of the important steps you need to take: changing the ownership in the property registry. Although this process may seem complicated, it’s essential to ensure that the property is properly registered in your name.

In this step-by-step guide, we at Culmia will explain how to carry out this process simply and effectively.

How to Change the Ownership in the Land Registry for Your New Home

Step 1: Gather the necessary documents

The first thing you need to do is gather the required documentation to transfer ownership in the land registry. This may include, among other documents, the purchase agreement, the deed to the property, your ID, and any other documents proving your right to the property.

Step 2: Access the Land Registry portal

Once you have all the documentation ready, go to the land registry portal on the government’s electronic portal: sedecatastro.gob.es. There you’ll find the digital platform that will allow you to complete property-related procedures quickly and securely.

Step 3: Log in and fill out the form

Once you’re logged in, log in using your personal information. Then, look for the option that allows you to change the account holder and fill out the corresponding form. Be sure to provide all the requested information accurately and truthfully.

Step 4: Attach the required documentation

During the application process, you will likely be asked to upload the documents you gathered in Step 1. Scan these documents and upload them following the system’s instructions.

Step 5: Review and submit the application

After you have filled out the form and attached the necessary documentation, review all the information you provided to make sure it is correct. Once you are sure everything is in order, submit the application.

Step 6: Pay any fees, if necessary

Depending on local regulations, you may be required to pay a fee for the change of ownership in the land registry. If this is the case, please make the appropriate payment by following the instructions provided.

Step 7: Wait for confirmation

After submitting your application, wait for confirmation from the land registry. This process may take a few business days, so please be patient. Once you receive confirmation, you will have successfully completed the change of ownership in the land registry for your new home.
