THE CADASTRAL MAP IS OFFICIAL PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE AND LOCATION OF A PLOT
The cadastral map is of great importance when selling a property. It is one of the documents that the buyer and the financing bank want to see.
THE CADASTRAL MAP SHOWS PARCELS AND BUILDINGS TO SCALE
The cadastral map is also known as the land registry map or property map. It is mainly used when buying or selling a property. It plays a major role because it shows parcels and buildings to scale. This is particularly important when buying a property. A property should not be bought without looking at the cadastral map.

IS A CADASTRAL MAP EXPENSIVE?
The prices depend on the competent cadastral or surveying office. As a rule it costs up to 60 euros.
ARE THERE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A CADASTRAL MAP AND A DEVELOPMENT PLAN?
Yes, there are. While the cadastral map shows boundaries and buildings, a development plan contains the areas that may be built on and those that must be kept free. The basis for drawing up a development plan is in turn the cadastral map, so that the plan area can be shown completely.
WHY IS THE CADASTRAL MAP SO IMPORTANT WHEN SELLING A PROPERTY?
It is so important because it is also used to value the property. Anyone who wants to sell their property must know its value. This depends not only on the condition of the property and its features; the location also determines the selling price. A property in a good location can achieve a higher selling price than one in a less attractive place.
If the location is sought after, the selling price can be many times higher. But often even the street is enough to raise or lower the selling price. On the cadastral map, prospective buyers can see whether the area is close to an access road. If this is not the case, the purchase price is reduced considerably.
BASIC FACTS ABOUT THE CADASTRAL MAP
Valuing a plot or property is not easy and requires experience and expertise. Not only the valuation of the house but also that of the plot is important. This valuation is part of the overall valuation and ultimately determines the selling price of the property including the plot. Anyone who wants to see the cadastral map must contact the competent cadastral or land office. It is not advisable to acquire a property without having looked at the cadastral map first. It is produced at scales of 1:500 or 1:1000.
