Kiinteistötietojärjestelmien

Kiinteistötietojärjestelmä is a Finnish term referring to real estate information systems. These systems are databases and related software that store and manage comprehensive information about properties. The primary purpose of these systems is to provide a centralized and organized repository of data essential for property ownership, transfer, and management.

In Finland, the most prominent kiinteistötietojärjestelmä is maintained by the National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos). This system contains detailed information about land parcels, buildings, ownership rights, mortgages, easements, and other legal encumbrances. It plays a crucial role in legal transactions involving real estate, ensuring transparency and security for buyers, sellers, and lenders.

The information within the kiinteistötietojärjestelmä is vital for various stakeholders, including property owners, real estate agents, notaries, banks, and government authorities. For instance, when a property is bought or sold, the system is used to verify ownership, process the transfer of title, and register any new mortgages. It also supports urban planning, taxation, and environmental management by providing accurate data on land use and property characteristics. Access to the system is regulated, with different levels of access granted to various users depending on their needs and legal authorization. The accuracy and reliability of the data are paramount, and continuous updates and maintenance are performed to reflect changes in property status.
