Use GEO.UR to understand the site
Find the property in GEO.UR and compare its location, address and buildings with your records. The cantonal service brings together maps and geodata from several public bodies. Identify the buildings and plots included in your enquiry. Note if an apparent access route crosses another parcel, without immediately drawing a conclusion about the rights associated with that route.
Check the same parcel in ÖREB.UR
Open ÖREB.UR and search by address or parcel. Match the parcel number against your location map. The register provides access to public-law restrictions and their associated provisions. Read the references affecting the property concerned. This answers different questions from a simple site plan; private rights and specific contractual arrangements need to be examined through the appropriate supporting records.
Distinguish visible access from documented use rights
A path visible in an aerial image does not by itself prove a right of access or its extent. Add available records about access rights, shared infrastructure or maintenance, and mark unresolved points. Prepare practical questions for a visit: where vehicles can stand, how the entrance and ancillary spaces are reached, and which access arrangements actually belong to the property. Refer legal uncertainties to the responsible professional or authority.
Document the building for the decision ahead
Collect floor plans, clearly defined area figures, renovation records and a description of current use. Building footprint, land area and living area are different measurements. Where several buildings are involved, describe their condition and use separately. Suisse Homes coordinates the enquiry through its central Steinhausen contact. The initial discussion establishes the purpose, service, costs and possible visit arrangements; maps and records prepare the ground for the individual assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Why use both GEO.UR and ÖREB.UR?
GEO.UR helps establish the location and setting. ÖREB.UR provides public-law restrictions and their documents. Check that both enquiries concern the correct parcel.
Does a visible path prove my right of access?
No. Gather the supporting records you hold and clarify any uncertainty. A map depiction cannot settle that question on its own.
Can I use the building footprint as its living area?
No. Use clearly defined figures from the building records and flag missing or conflicting measurements for further examination.
