Property Registry Extract
Description
Official extract from the Portuguese Land Registry (Certidão Predial) showing ownership, encumbrances, and property details.
About This Document
A Portuguese Property Registry Extract (Certidão Predial) is an official document from the Land Registry (Registo Predial) that provides comprehensive information about a specific property in Portugal. This certificate is essential for property transactions, due diligence, mortgage applications, and legal proceedings involving real estate.
The extract contains vital information including the property's description, location, area, ownership history, current owners, any registered mortgages or encumbrances, easements, and other rights affecting the property. It serves as the official proof of property ownership and legal status in Portugal.
Portugal maintains separate registries for urban properties (prédios urbanos) and rural properties (prédios rústicos). Each property has a unique registration number within its respective registry office (Conservatória do Registo Predial). The extract reflects the current state of registration and all historical transactions.
How to Obtain This Document
To obtain a Portuguese property registry extract independently:
Online through the Land Registry Portal
Property extracts can be requested online through the Predial Online portal. You'll need the property's registration details (parish, registry office, and registration number) or the property's matrix number from the tax authority.
In Person at Conservatória do Registo Predial
Visit the Land Registry Office where the property is registered. Bring the property identification details. Certificates are typically issued on the same day.
Required Information
To request an extract, you need either the property registration number (número de descrição predial) or the tax matrix number (artigo matricial). If you only have the address, additional research may be needed.
Types of Extracts
You can request a simple extract (current ownership and encumbrances), a full extract (complete historical record), or specific certificates for particular purposes.
Important Note
Property registration in Portugal is not always up to date. Some properties, especially in rural areas or inherited properties, may have outdated registrations that don't reflect current ownership.
