Frequently asked questions

What is Hogarfax and how can it help me?

When you buy a home, the listing shows photos, square meters and price. What it does not show is everything else: whether the plot sits in a flood zone, whether there are planning restrictions that would prevent what you have in mind, whether the asking price is aligned with what is actually being paid in that area, or whether the surroundings have noise that never appears in the pictures.

That information exists. It is public, it sits in official institutions, and it has been available for years to anyone who knows where to look. Hogarfax automatically cross-checks it against any property in Spain and presents it on a single page, in seconds.

Before visiting, before making an offer, before committing to anything.

Does it replace a valuation?

No. An official valuation is carried out by a certified appraiser and has legal validity for mortgages and sales. Hogarfax gives you context before you get there: it helps you understand which risk or limitation factors a property has before ordering a valuation or making an offer.

Does it replace the Land Registry title report?

No. The title report proves who the registered owner is and whether there are mortgages, liens or charges. Hogarfax covers what the title report does not: physical risks, planning restrictions, surroundings and climate. The two complement each other.

How do I get the cadastral reference?

You can ask the agency or the owner directly: it appears on any property tax bill or in the deed. You can also look it up on the Cadastre website using the address.

Which risks does the report cover?

Fluvial and coastal flooding, radon, water and coastal public domain, high-voltage power lines, nearby industrial land, road and airport noise, urban planning classification and historical climate. Each one has its own explanatory article in the blog.
