Apart from property owners and those involved in the real estate market, public authorities and local government offices will also benefit from the new PLR cadastre.
The new PLR cadastre provides authorities with an excellent instrument to help them fulfil their duty to provide information efficiently. This is fully in keeping with the Confederation’s e-Government strategy, which requires that administrative procedures be made more efficient and more accessible to the public.
The private sector can save time and money because the relevant information on real estate will become very easily available with the introduction of the new cadastre. In addition, the PLR cadastre will increase legal certainty. Real estate in Switzerland is mortgaged to the tune of CHF 700 billion – equally valuable is the importance of quick access to authoritative information in this field.
