Browsing Without Registration Data: Alternatives and Solutions

The absence of registration data can represent a significant challenge in the field of real estate transactions and management. This data is essential to validate legality and facilitate transparency in any real estate-related transaction. But what can you do when this data is elusive or seems inaccessible? Below are several effective strategies to address and overcome this obstacle.

Exploring Name Indexes

An initial strategy consists of exploring indices under known names of current or previous owners. This method can be somewhat laborious and does not always offer guarantees of success, but it is a good starting point. The cost associated with this search will vary depending on the number of records that need to be reviewed. We are available to provide you with an accurate estimate based on your specific needs.

Query by lot or apartment number

When the property is located within an urbanization or is part of a condominium governed by the Horizontal Property Regime, research through property indexes or breakdowns, focusing on the lot or apartment number, emerges as a viable solution. This method can greatly speed up the search for the necessary registration data.

Consultation at the CRIM Using the Cadastre Number

Although less frequently, queries in the CRIM with the property's specific cadastre number can yield the registration data sought. This approach can be the starting point for more detailed investigations at the Land Registry. The Digital Cadastre is a useful tool in this process, especially if you can locate your property through satellite photographs, which could reveal the desired property number.

Request for Direct Certification to the Registry

If the above methods do not produce the expected results, there is the option of requesting a specific certification of the property or the owner directly from the registry, as appropriate to the situation. Although this process may be slower and require additional diligence, it provides a direct route to obtain the necessary information in the most complex cases.

Final reflection

The lack of registration data is a challenge that, although complex, is not insurmountable. With the right strategies and the support of experts in the field, you can find effective solutions that advance your real estate goals. Remember that there are multiple ways to address this problem and that having the right advice can make the difference in achieving your goals.
