Cadastral information updates
Requests to change property data: areas, buildings, owners and purpose.
Cadastral & Property Consulting
What is cadastral and property consulting?
A property has three “faces” that must match: the physical (what is on the ground), the cadastral (what the cadastral authority records) and the legal or registry one (what the deed and registry folio say). When one drifts from the others, problems arise to sell, finance, inherit or build.
Cadastral and property consulting consists of diagnosing that situation, explaining what is happening and designing the route of procedures to fix it: cadastral mutations and updates, registry clarifications, deeds and consultation of zoning rules and the Land-Use Plan (POT) (Law 388 of 1997).
We work with individual owners and also with companies and institutions that manage property portfolios, need to clean up property data or require technical support for projects.

We answer your questions
Frequently asked questions: Cadastral & Property Consulting
What is the difference between cadastre and registry?
The cadastre (cadastral manager) describes the property physically, legally and economically and serves fiscal and planning purposes. The registry (Public Instruments Registry Office) gives publicity to ownership and rights in rem through the registry folio. They are different systems that must be coordinated.
Can you handle the procedures for me?
We prepare the support and follow up with the entities within the agreed scope. Some acts require your signature or an attorney's, and we define them in the roadmap.
Do you serve companies and public entities?
Yes. We have worked with public and private entities, as our clients section shows, and can handle portfolio cleanup and projects.
Can you review my POT or my property's regulations?
Yes. We consult land uses, encumbrances and indexes applicable to the property and explain them in plain language. For permit decisions, the official determination is made by the competent authority.
Is it legal advice?
Our consulting is technical and property-management advice. When the case requires an attorney (for example, a lawsuit), we tell you and can work alongside your counsel.
How much does it cost?
It depends on scope. First guidance on WhatsApp (+57 300 222 0669) or email (info@lonjaagroambiental.com) is free; then we quote the services you decide to hire.
