Real Property
Lantmäteriet has the overall national responsibility for the Swedish cadastre and through our local offices we also carry out cadastral surveys such as subdivision of land into new real property units and making changes to existing units. Lantmäteriets Real Property Register contains information about Sweden´s real estate; this information is of fundamental importance for Swedish society and the market economy. Other real property data that can be obtained from Lantmäteriet includes information concerning tax assessment values and registration of ownership. You can also get information concerning ownership of property - who owns a given property - or about the measures that must be taken if you want a property subdivision to be carried out. You can also follow prices for houses and second homes on the real property market in different parts of Sweden.
Cadastral procedures
All changes that are made to a real property unit must be done through a cadastral procedure. New properties can be formed and existing properties reformed; a cadastral procedure can also involve checking boundaries and creating rights so that, for example, several properties can jointly use a road or a broadband cable. Real property owners, purchasers or holders of other rights who want cadastral procedure to be carried out must apply to a Cadastral Authority.
Property information
Information about Sweden´s real properties can be found at Lantmäteriet. Here you can for example find out who owns a specific real property or what its tax assessment value is. There is also information available about price trends on detached houses and secondary homes in different parts of Sweden.
Credit Market Systems
Lantmäteriet has responsibility for supporting the development of a secure and rational national credit market through development of specialised products including the Computerised Mortgage Certificate System, the Enterprise Mortgage Certificate System, the Register of Enterprise Mortgages and the Trade and Industry Register. This is done in close co-operation with banks, credit institutions and the major property companies.
