Do the documents match
the home you have seen?
A pool, an extension or a different recorded area can raise questions. Comparing the sources helps you see what needs an explanation.
What Catastro records
Bring in the cadastral document or request public data. Compare references, areas and recorded buildings with the information in your file.
What you can see on site
Mark the house, pool, extensions and other structures you have seen. Add your observations and images to help identify differences.
A difference is a reason to investigate, not proof of an infringement. Your observations and documents remain identified as sources; the tool does not certify ownership, planning legality or the physical condition of the property.

The report brings the information together in descriptive text. It can identify documents to request, matters to clarify with the seller and steps to discuss with your lawyer. Orthophotos, images and cadastral documents can accompany the file when you add them.
For a more connected reading of the file, you can request an AI analysis after reviewing the information to be sent and giving your consent. It works from the supplied text and data; it does not certify facts or replace a lawyer’s review. Read the scope
