One parcel, one file
Every page starts from the boundary you confirm.
The report is built on the parcel’s cadastral geometry. Every figure states its source, the date it was read and what it cannot establish. If a source does not answer, we query it again: no report goes out with a reading missing.

What is included today
What is in the 100-page sample
The opening, ten chapters and closing follow the report’s contents. Each chapter separates its data from its assessment for the purchase.
Opening
Cover, parcel summary and instructions for reading the maps.
The plot
Cadastral identity, original geometry, buildings and historical aerial photos.
What can be built
SIU land class, municipal context and the SIGPAC agricultural register. Whether and how much you may build is confirmed by the town hall; the chapter says what to ask it.
The ground
Slope, geology, seismicity, tsunamis and radon.
Water and flooding
River flood zones, groundwater and nitrates.
Coast, forests and drove roads
Coastal boundary, public forests and mapped drove roads.
Protected nature
Natura 2000 and protected natural areas near the boundary.
Risks nearby
Recorded burnt areas and what the records leave unresolved.
Access and networks
Roads, railways, high-voltage power lines and municipal internet coverage.
Around the plot
Sun and horizon, aviation easements and changes in land use.
The purchase
Taxes, fees and the purchase process before the sale deed.
Closing
Site visit, gaps, questions for advisers, purchase checks and sources.
What this edition does not cover
The report lists 14 checks still to complete on pages 86–87: marine flooding, active faults, noise, Defence zones, ownership and charges, permitted development, utility connections, ground strength, lawful access, the coastal regime, nature plans and buffer zones, incomplete fire history, internet connection and long-term climate. Ask the Land Registry for the ownership extract and the town hall for the planning certificate. Connections require confirmation from the suppliers; foundation design needs a site-specific geotechnical study.

- The questions for your notary and surveyor
Scope and limits
What TerrenoCheck does, and where it stops.
Is this legal due diligence?
No. It is an automated check of public sources and does not verify ownership, charges, the land-registry position or legal buildability. Take the report to your lawyer, notary or surveyor.
Are the boundaries official?
The outline comes from the Directorate General for Cadastre's mapping and is used for a preliminary check. It does not replace a certified cadastral extract, a land-registry nota simple or a topographic survey.
What language is the report in?
English and Spanish: every order includes both editions. You pick the main one on the order form, and we write to you in that language. Both say the same, with the same sources and measurements. In the English one, official names (public bodies, laws, protected-area types) stay in Spanish with a short explanation, so your notary and the town hall recognise them.
Does it cover all of Spain?
Everywhere the national Cadastre covers. Álava, Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa and Navarre keep their own foral cadastres, which are not connected yet; if you click there, the map tells you so.
Can I order a report now?
Yes. Pick the parcel on the map, confirm the outline and continue to payment; the report appears on the order page within 24 hours.
Considering land or a home in Spain?
Confirm the parcel first and take the questions that matter to the notary.
