Venice: the Land Registry Compliance

The success of a deed of sale also depends on the presence of Land Registry Compliance. Let's see what it is and how it is obtained


Cadastral compliance is part of the mandatory documentation during a real estate sale. This is not a purely bureaucratic requirement, but a fundamental guarantee for the buyer.


What is the meaning of Land Registry Compliance



It is an obligation according to the art. 29 paragraph 1bis Law 52/85 amended by Legislative Decree 78/10 converted into Law n122 / 10 and establishes that the deed of sale contains the reference to the cadastral plans and the declaration made by the holders of compliance with the state of affairs of cadastral data and plans. A declaration that can be replaced by the certificate issued by a qualified technician. The Land Registry Compliance therefore serves to guarantee the buyer that the reality of the facts and records in the cadastre coincide.

Difference between Land Registry Compliance and planning compliance





Land Registry Compliance verifies the correspondence of the property with what is reported in the cadastre. The planning compliance, on the other hand, verifies the correspondence between the state of the property and the regularity of the residential building titles. Therefore the same property can have Land Registry Compliance but not urban planning. Even in this case, however, further checks will be necessary.



Who creates the certificate of Land Registry Compliance



Given the complexity of a deed of sale, Land Registry Compliance is increasingly accompanied by the integrated technical report drawn up by an authorized person who, with low costs, protects the seller from any disputes that may also lead to the cancellation of the deed and heavy penalties.
