the seller shows you a copy of the Escritura (Title
Deeds). This Notarised document will describe the land and
its boundaries. Be aware as this is most important simply because
if the owner's name is on the Escritura it does not necessarily
mean that they own the land. Every time a property is bought
and sold a new Escritura is created and it is very important before
entering into any agreement to purchase land, to ensure it is free
from fines, charges or other encumbrances.
For
a very small fee you can obtain on-line details of any embargo's
mortgages etc, listed against the land in question.
