Open the parcel information deliberately
Find the property in the geoportal and select the appropriate parcel. The entry «Grundstücksinformationen (Grundbuch & ÖREB)» opens the related information. Access to the public-law restrictions register is integrated into the main portal. Check the parcel first rather than mixing details from different search results. If the property comprises several parcels, list them separately with your enquiry.
Keep an extract that can be reviewed
The dynamic view supports interactive enquiries; the static view supplies a PDF extract. A saved document with its consultation date is useful during a discussion. Read the topics and linked references included in it. A screenshot with hidden layers does not necessarily represent the full information available. Questions about the practical effect of a restriction should be taken to the responsible authority.
Check the information behind the map layer
The information symbol in the topic legend provides details about the data and responsible contacts. Check which topic is displayed and what information is available about its currency. Record unclear entries for follow-up. The map does not calculate an individual market value or replace evidence of the property’s condition and completed works. Keep dated renovation records alongside the parcel documents.
Distinguish an apartment from the whole property
A highlighted parcel may include much more than your apartment. Add the unit’s floor plans, details of cellar and parking spaces, and available condominium records. For a house, include area definitions, renovation documents and current condition. Through its central contact in Steinhausen, Suisse Homes clarifies missing documents, the appropriate service, costs and arrangements for any visit before the work is agreed.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate restrictions portal?
The cantonal instructions describe access within the main geoportal through the parcel-information entry. You can continue checking the relevant parcel there.
Does the map prove my apartment’s floor area?
No. Supply plans and area figures for the individual unit. The land shown on the map does not automatically match only the property you want assessed.
What is enough for an initial conversation?
Provide the address, property type and purpose of the assessment. Attach available records and flag information that still requires verification.
