Land Registry (grunnboken)

Here you can read about the Land Registry (grunnboken). In Placepoint you have easy access to it and can download it in seconds.

The Land Registry is a public register of registered (tinglyst) rights and encumbrances in real property and housing cooperative shares (borettslagsandeler). By registering (tinglysing) a right in the Land Registry, you make it public that the right to a property exists. In this way, a potential buyer, for example, can check whether others hold rights in the property they are interested in buying.

Each individual property and housing cooperative share has its own folio (grunnboksblad) in the Land Registry. This gives an overview of which documents, encumbrances and obligations have been registered. It also shows the date on which the document was registered and its document number.

The Land Registry printout for your property will show that you hold registered title to the property, and which encumbrances have been registered. To see which rights you or your property have been granted, you need to look in the Land Registry entry for the property that granted you the right.

Every landowner should make sure their Land Registry entry is in order, to avoid encumbrances affecting the purchase price on a sale or otherwise making the sale more difficult.

In Placepoint, the Land Registry entry for each individual property can be retrieved directly.
