Land registry extract

The Land Registry Extract

The Grundbuchauszug (extrait du registre foncier) is the official document issued by the competent cantonal land registry for a property. It contains the property description, registered owners, form of ownership and acquisition date, plus easements, real burdens and notations.

It is the central document for buying, selling, inheriting, financing and any legal review of Swiss real estate.

Background

Understanding the Swiss Land Registry

The Grundbuch (land register) is the official register of properties and property rights in Switzerland. It is kept by the cantons — some centrally, some through regional or municipal land registries — under the Swiss Civil Code (Art. 942 ff.).

Art. 970 of the Civil Code defines what is public: property description, ownership, easements and notations can be requested by anyone for a specific parcel. Mortgage entries and purchase prices are protected by law.

Property Transactions

Verify ownership, easements and encumbrances before you buy, sell or finance.

Legal Proceedings

Certified extracts for courts, notaries, probate and authorities at home and abroad.

Checks & Due Diligence

Clarify a property's owners and legal situation — fast and documented.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to own the property to carry out a search?+

No. Under Art. 970(2) of the Swiss Civil Code, anyone may obtain the public data (owner, description, easements, notations) for a specific named parcel — no justification needed. Non-public data such as mortgage entries requires the owner's authorisation or a legitimate interest.

Is this an official website?+

No. We are an independent private ordering service, not a land registry. The extract we deliver, however, is an official document issued by the competent cantonal land registry. You can also order directly from the registry at the official fee.

What does the extract show — and what doesn't it?+

It shows the public data: property description, owners, form of ownership, acquisition date, easements, real burdens and public notations. It does not show legally protected data such as mortgages and purchase prices — these are released only with the owner's authorisation or a legitimate interest.

I haven't received my emailed documents. What should I do?+

Documents are typically delivered within 1–4 business days depending on the canton. Please check your spam folder first; if they still haven't arrived, contact us at info@grundbuchauszug-online.ch and we'll resend them.

How much does it cost?+

The total price depends on the document and the canton, and is displayed in full during the order process before you pay — including the registry's official fee, which we advance on your behalf.

Do you deliver internationally?+

Yes. The scan is emailed worldwide; the original is posted within Switzerland and internationally. Certified translation (EN/DE/FR) and apostille are available on request.

Digital copies are delivered via email — typically within 1–4 business days.

Original by post on request, worldwide.
