GEOREFERENCED MAPS AND GML FILES

DO YOU NEED A GEOREFERENCED MAP OR A GML FILE FOR CADASTRAL OR REGISTRY PROCEDURES?

In the studio we prepare georeferenced maps and GML files adjusted to current regulations and validated by the Cadastre. We are specialists in cadastral documentation and graphic representation of properties, and we offer a precise and close service adapted to each case. Our goal is to guarantee that each property is correctly represented, registered and aligned with the physical reality of the land.

We usually work in Girona, Figueres, Alt Empordà and nearby municipalities.

TECHNIQUE AND PRECISION FOR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Georeferenced maps link the representation of a property with exact coordinates from the ETRS89 or UTM system, guaranteeing its real location in the territory. These documents, together with GML files, allow a reliable exchange of geographic information between professionals, notaries and public administrations.

In the study, we work with high-precision topographic technology and approved software to generate complete GML files, validated and ready for presentation to the Cadastre or the Property Registry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a georeferenced map?

It is a map that locates the property within an official coordinate system, such as ETRS89. In this way, its real position on the territory can be precisely identified, guaranteeing that it coincides with the registration and cadastral description.

When is it necessary to make a georeferenced map or a GML file?

They are required in cases of segregation, grouping, rectification of boundaries, regularization or registration in the property registry. They are also common when there are discrepancies between the physical reality of the land and the cadastre.

What is the difference between a georeferenced map and a topographic map?

The topographic map represents the relief and physical characteristics of the land, while the georeferenced map incorporates official coordinates that allow the property to be legally located within the state reference system.
That is, the georeferenced map has legal validity for procedures before the Cadastre or the Property Registry.

What process do I follow to prepare them?

I collect the basic data of the property (cadastral reference, old maps, deed, etc.).
I take topographic data on the ground, with a total station or high-precision GPS.
I georeference the points in the UTM/ETRS89 system.
I prepare the georeferenced map and the validated GML file.
I deliver to the client all the documentation ready to present to the notary or registry.

What documentation do I have to provide as a client?

You must have, at a minimum, the following:

The cadastral reference of the property.
An old deed or plan, if any.
The owner’s details and a brief description of the plot or property.
With this information I can assess the situation and prepare the fieldwork.

In which areas do I usually work?

Although most assignments are in Figueres and Girona, I also carry out projects in Roses, Begur, Castelló d’Empúries, Platja d’Aro and other municipalities in the Empordà.
If you have a property in any of these areas, I can travel there to take data and process your case.

How long and how much does this type of service cost?

It depends on the size and complexity of the property, but usually the work is completed in between 3 and 7 working days from the data collection.
The estimates are personalized and without commitment, always with the desire to offer a fast, precise and adjusted solution.

What guarantee do I offer as a technician?

As a registered technical architect, I assume professional responsibility for the plans and files that I prepare.

This guarantees that they comply with the regulations of the Cadastre and Royal Decree 1071/2007, ensuring their legal and technical validity.
