Check these yourself
Registers have gaps, and some layers are approximate.
- Each layer page lists what we do not show: Transactions, Parcels and owners, Forest, Agriculture, Risks and restrictions, Nature and heritage, Terrain.
- Power lines, pipelines and roads from OpenStreetMap are approximate.
- Registers have gaps; we do not fill them with estimates.
- We never publish the names of private persons.
How we process the data
We load each source as published and join it to parcels by location or cadastre number. We count every deal once. We do not change what a register says.
Personal data
We never publish the names of private persons.
