Building Load Register: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access the Building Load Register to find public law restrictions affecting property rights and values.
The Building Load Register is an official record used to identify public law restrictions, known locally as Baulasten, that apply to a specific piece of land.
Who it's for
This register is primarily used by property owners and real estate agents who need to verify the legal limitations placed on a property.
What you get
You gain access to essential information regarding any public law restrictions tied to a property. This helps you understand what you can or cannot do with the land due to specific legal requirements or limitations.
What it costs you
There is a processing fee to request information from the register. You should expect to pay between €20 and €50 for this service.
The catch to know
These restrictions are often overlooked during the property valuation process. Failing to check the register could mean you discover significant land-use limitations only after you have committed to a purchase.
How to apply
- Identify the specific property details for the land in question.
- Contact the relevant building inspection authority to request an excerpt.
- Pay the required processing fee.
- Review the official documentation for any restrictions that affect the property's use.
