Are there restrictions on public access to the register? Can a buyer obtain all the information he might reasonably need regarding encumbrances and other rights affecting real estate?
As explained above all transactions are registered in the Public Registry, and any one can order researches from the Public Registry with regard to any particular person (or body corporate) or property. All entries in the Public Registry are therefore accessible by the public in general and researches are detailed and all registerable actions relating to a particular property shall result in such researches.
