An extract starts the review; it is not the whole review.
A Public Registry extract connects a specific cadastral property to its registered right. It shows what is being sold, who owns it and which restrictions appear on the record.
It does not confirm the apartment’s condition, construction quality or whether the contract terms are fair. Read it together with the property, the seller’s documents and the draft contract.
Confirm that the record belongs to this exact unit.
What is checked
- The cadastral code and exact address.
- Area, floor, unit number and legal designation.
- The basis of title: what the ownership registration relies on.
How it is checked
- Request a recent extract and cadastral code before transferring money.
- Compare every field with the unit, plan and contract.
- Clarify separately if the property is sold as residential but recorded with another designation.
Why it matters
A project name, advertising address and the physical unit do not replace a cadastral code. A mismatch in the number, area or designation changes the subject of the transaction.
When it fails
The extract belongs to another cadastral property. The area or floor does not match. A residential scenario is promised for a property with another legal classification.
Check the owner, mortgage, seizure and other entries.
What is checked
- Who is shown as owner and who signs the contract.
- Mortgage, pledge, seizure, servitude or another registered restriction.
- The authority basis if a representative is acting.
How it is checked
- Match the owner’s name with the passport and contract party.
- Request a written payoff and mortgage-release sequence before settlement.
- Check the power of attorney and the representative’s authority scope.
Why it matters
A registered encumbrance does not automatically end a deal. But the mechanism for releasing it must be written down and tied to the payment flow.
When it fails
Payment is requested before release of the encumbrance, but the contract has no bank mechanism. A person absent from the extract signs without a clear power of attorney.
Do not leave discrepancies for later.
What is checked
- The match of code, owner, area, designation and price.
- The extract date: it must be current when the deal closes.
- The payment, registration and key-handover sequence.
How it is checked
- Obtain an updated extract before signing and filing for registration.
- Put every material condition into the contract, not messages.
- Pause payment if the fresh record does not match the contract.
Why it matters
An old extract does not prove that the record has not changed. A document mismatch cannot be closed with a verbal promise.
When it fails
The seller provides only an old extract. The contract carries another cadastral code. Material terms are promised after the first payment.
When an independent specialist is needed
A complex title history, active mortgage, attorney-in-fact or designation mismatch are reasons to involve an independent lawyer before settlement.

Is a NAPR extract enough to buy?
No. It confirms the registered record but does not replace review of the property, permits, contract and payment flow.
What should you check when buying a mortgaged property?
Only where the payoff and release sequence is written down and clear to every party, including the bank.
