| Resumo: | This study analyzes the link between the ownership of property deeds (registered) and real estate markets in parts of the city whose origin was either informal or illegal. By doing so, it raises questions about international assumptions and finds paradoxes in the way the popular land market operates. The methodology used is both quantitative and qualitative. The conclusions show that in unconsolidated settlements, ownership of title deeds increases property value. Title deeds do not however, increase the predominance of formal property markets. On the contrary, the tendency to engage in informal transactions regarding rent and buying and selling continues to exist.
