Planimetria catastale (planta do imóvel)

How to read a planimetria

It is not the estate agent's sketch: it is a filed technical drawing, to scale, with a title block carrying the cadastral data. And the measurements it gives are not the square metres you read in listings.

1. 1The title block. Municipality, sheet, parcel and unit (subalterno): they say which property the drawing belongs to. If they do not match the visura, the problem is there.
2. 2The walls. A thick line is a load-bearing or perimeter wall, a thin one a partition. They are the filed state, not necessarily today's.
3. 3The room measurements. In metres, taken on the inside face. Adding them up does not give the floor area in the listing: that is measured another way.
4. 4The scale. Normally 1:200, 1:100 for small units. It lets you measure on the drawing what has no dimension written on it.
5. 5Balconies and appurtenances. Drawn but counted separately: an open balcony is not living area.
6. 6North. It says how the house is oriented: which room gets the sun and which does not.
7. 7Date and reference number of the filing. It is the date of the snapshot. If the works date from 2015 and this says 1998, the drawing is two renovations old.

Cadastral conformity and planning conformity

Cadastral conformity means that the filed floor plan matches how the property is built today: the notary checks it at the deed. Planning conformity means that this state was authorised: it is in the building permits held by the municipality. A house can be perfectly in line with the cadastre and still have a building irregularity.
