kinnistusandmed

Kinnistusandmed refers to real estate records or property data in Estonia. This information is crucial for understanding ownership, rights, and encumbrances associated with a piece of land or a building. The primary source for kinnistusandmed is the Estonian Land Register, known as the Kinnistusraamat.

The Kinnistusraamat is a public and official registry that contains comprehensive details about immovables (kinnisasjad). Each entry in the register typically includes information such as the cadastral number of the property, its location, area, and intended use. More importantly, it details the ownership of the property, including the names of the registered owners and the nature of their ownership (e.g., sole owner, co-owners).

Furthermore, kinnistusandmed document any legal rights or encumbrances that affect the property. This can include mortgages (hüpotek), easements (servituut), rights of pre-emption (enoligus), and other limitations on the owner's rights. These entries are vital for potential buyers, lenders, and other parties to assess the true legal status of a property before entering into any transactions.

Access to kinnistusandmed is generally public, though specific details might require registration or a fee. This transparency ensures that real estate transactions are conducted with full knowledge of all relevant legal aspects, promoting security and trust in the property market. The system is designed to protect the rights of property owners and third parties by providing a reliable record of all significant matters pertaining to immovables.
