The electronic land register is a one-of-a-kind web application that contains information of all ownership relationship and limited real of real estates and land parcels.
A critical tool for the real-estate market, it provides total transparency, listing the registered owner of each property holding, showing where the property boundaries lie, and proving other information that potential buyers would need to know.
Records information contain:
- Cadastral information - address, area, purpose of land
- Ownership relations
- Encumbrances, restrictions, rights of use, other notations
- Mortgage information
The system has transformed the way property transactions are carried out in Estonia, eliminating the need to visit a public office and spend hours waiting for a civil servant to search records.
Businesses benefit from the security of having instant access to land titles and the ability to confirm ownership with a few clicks of the mouse.
Paired with a geographical information system (GIS), the electronic land register delivers real-time geographical data through the X-road, enabling advanced map-based visualizations that power many of the location-based services in Estonia.
