Methodological note
Today the National Statistics Institute publishes, for the first time, Statistics on
Transfer of Property Rights.
In order to compile these statistics, which are censal in nature, data sent monthly by the
Property, Mercantile and Real Estate Registers College of Spain (CORPME) is collected.
The main objective of the statistics is to ascertain the number of transfers of property rights
on properties by acquisition title on a national level, by Autonomous Community and by
province.
The statistics take as the reference month the date of recording in the Land Register, since
this is the moment of recording the transfer operation. This date does not necessarily have to
coincide with formalisation of the transfer.
Ownership of a transferred property is classified in these statistics under five headings.
1. Merchanting. Through the merchanting contract, one of the parties undertakes to hand
over something which is specified and the other party undertakes to pay a specified price for
it, in money or as a token thereof.
2. Donation. Is the exercising of
available free of charge to another
property to be valid, a public deed
property are expressed individually,
recipient.
one's free will whereby a person makes something
person who accepts it. In order for the donation of
has to be drawn up, in which the donated items of
as is the value of the charges to be covered by the
3. Exchanges. An exchange is a contract whereby one of the parties undertakes to give
something to receive something else.
4. Inheritance. When a property belonging to a deceased person is acquired through a will
or legally. Those who are not invalidated under the law may be sucessors by will or minutes
regarding the declaration of Intestate heirs.
5. Others. All those not covered in the preceding list. On occasions, it may reflect
contrntrations of plots or horizontal divisions. In other cases it may involve a joint operation,
combining several acquisition titled, or transfers with an unspecified acquisition title.
