• If you want to buy the property, you need the consent of the owner.
• If you are permitted to inspect the land register, you can request a copy of the land register.
• As a private individual, you generally cannot obtain online access to the land register.
• Authorities, notaries, courts or publicly appointed surveyors can, under certain conditions, obtain unrestricted online access to the land register (unrestricted retrieval procedure).
• If you need to access land registers frequently or if the need is particularly urgent, you may be eligible for restricted access. This may be the case if you wish to access land registers as:
