CIEN Notary website

CIEN Notary website

The Consejo General del Notariado (General Council of Notaries) has recently presented the Statistical Information Center of Notaries (CIEN) website with statistics on the real estate market. This open access website offers more than a million statistical series with anonymous data from deeds and other notarized documents from January 2007 to March 2012, including statistics on property sales, leases, mortgages, etc.

The data provided through this site come from Índice Único Informatizado (Unique Computerized Index), a database developed by the General Council of Notaries that collects statistical data extracted from each notarial act that takes place in Spain, but in a totally anonymous way.

From the second half of September the data will be updated in a monthly basis with a lag of less than one month from the deed signature. Along with the statistics, the information will be complemented with the publication of the conclusions drawn from the analysis of the monthly records.
