Answer 1

The written proof to the extent of the area, value and ownership of a property.

Answer 2

'superficie catastral y documental de la vivienda'

superficie catastral is the measured amount of land of the property, for tax and other purposes.

documental de la vivienda probably refers to the history and the documents of the buildings, such as planning permissions, registration of ownership, taxes paid etc. I had not heard documental used, but I feel fairly confident that it means the records of the propery.

These are readily available at the ayuntamiento, for free, by the way.
