Cadastre & INE: Key differences for Real Estate agents

If you're a real estate agent aiming to offer a more professional and comprehensive service, understanding the difference between the Cadastre and the INE can make a real difference. Both are official sources of information, but they serve very different purposes.

And the best part? With iRealty, you can access both easily from a single platform.

‍What is the Property Cadastre?

The Property Cadastre is an administrative register that describes every property or piece of land in Spain. Its data is essential for evaluating a property, checking surface areas, and calculating taxes.

The Cadastre includes:

The Cadastre includes detailed information such as the exact location of the property, the built surface area, the type of property usage (whether residential, commercial, land, etc.), the cadastral reference (a unique identifier), and the cadastral value, which is used to calculate property taxes like the IBI. In summary, the Cadastre tells you what a property is — physically and legally.

What is the INE, and what Is It For?

The INE (National Institute of Statistics) doesn’t register individual properties, but it provides valuable data about the surrounding area: population, income levels, market trends, and more.

INE data valuable for real estate agents:

INE data provides valuable insights for real estate agents, including population statistics by neighborhood or municipality, average income levels by area, average sale or rental prices, as well as information on educational levels, age demographics, and overall socio-economic profiles. In summary, the INE helps you understand the neighborhood and its socioeconomic context.

Which one should you use as a Real Estate agent?

Both are essential. As a real estate agent, you can use:

• The Cadastre to evaluate properties, verify dimensions, and prepare documentation
  
  
• The INE to analyze the area, justify pricing, and better understand your target audience
