kiinteistörekisterissä

Kiinteistörekisterissä refers to the Finnish official real property register. The kiinteistörekisteri is maintained by the Finnish National Land Survey (Maanmittauslaitos) and contains records about real property units (kiinteistöt) and cadastral parcels. The register includes identifiers such as kiinteistötunnus, information on the property’s boundaries and location, and links to ownership and to any rights and obligations attached to the property. It also records encumbrances such as mortgages (panttikirjat), easements and servitudes (rasitukset), restrictions, and other legal arrangements affecting the property.

The information in the kiinteistörekisteri is used to support real estate transactions, taxation, planning and land-use management, and various public administration tasks. It provides a basis for determining property boundaries, verifying ownership, and assessing rights or restrictions connected to a property. Much of the data is available to the public, although some details may require a legitimate interest or specific authorization, and certain extracts may be accessed through official online services or by request through the authorities.

Data in the kiinteistörekisteri is updated as changes occur, such as transfers of ownership, subdivision or consolidation of parcels, alterations to boundaries, or the creation or removal of encumbrances and servitudes. Updates arise from cadastral surveys, property transactions, or administrative decisions, and are governed by the applicable laws and procedures for real estate registration. In practice, kiinteistörekisterissä signifies that a given property, or a particular right or restriction concerning it, is formally recorded in the national real property registry.
