Used where decisions really matter

The questions that need answers

Before you buy: where to find the answers

Each question has one place in Placepoint where you find the answer, with the source shown.

Who owns the property, and through what structure?

The owner tab in the property panel

The registered owner from Grunnboken (the Land Registry), the company behind it with its conglomerate and ownership shares, and what else the owner owns. Private owners are named only when you have a legitimate purpose for the lookup.

Source: Grunnboken (Kartverket) and the shareholder register, updated continuously

The Owner tab with registered owner and ownership structure

What does Grunnboken say about encumbrances, mortgages and easements?

The Documents tab

Encumbrances, mortgages and easements per matrikkelenhet (cadastral unit), with the land register extract ready to download when you need it for the contract.

Source: Grunnboken (Kartverket)

The Documents tab with land register extract

What has sold in the area, and at what price?

The Transactions tab and Market Activity

Registered ownership changes with price and date, on the property and in the area, on a map and in a list, so your price expectations are based on evidence.

Source: Kartverket, around 240,000 registered ownership changes a year

Which tenants are in the building, and for how long?

The Tenants tab

The companies at the address, with employees, industry and how long they have been registered there. The seller has the contracts. You have the rest here.

Source: Enhetsregisteret linked to the property, 5.3 million links

The Tenants tab with the companies in the building

What does the zoning say about future development?

The Zoning tab

The current plan with its purpose and provisions, and the cases under consideration on and around the property.

What customers say

How they use it in this phase

“We see a clear efficiency gain with Placepoint, as much of the information we need on ownership, ownership structures, zoning purposes and encumbrances is gathered in one place. Several of us in the organisation use the tool daily and get a lot out of it.”
