The National Land Survey of Finland provides public services and information related to real estate, apartments, maps and spatial data. Its apartment services support owners, housing companies and professionals with matters recorded in Finland’s Apartment Information System, which contains information about apartment ownership, pledges and restrictions.

Apartment owners can apply to register ownership, clarify ownership records, register rights of use, update contact details and purchase official apartment documents used, for example, in property transactions. The agency also offers guidance for buyers and sellers, including checklists and an online assistant that explains how to register ownership in different situations. Lenders can apply to register a pledge when an apartment share is used as loan security.

For housing companies and property professionals, services include transferring share registers to the Apartment Information System, maintaining company administration details, reporting renovations, company loans and charges, and accessing apartment data through professional services. The National Land Survey also publishes guidance on redemption procedures and changes to housing-company rules, as well as information about application processing times and the contents of official records.
