Through our online service Metria FastighetSök, you have access to property information directly from the Land Registry and from several other sources. Information about property owners, forest area and tax value are some examples of information often used in the forest industry.
Metria Property extraction is suitable when you need information about the forest properties that exist in a certain area - the complete data need with the property in focus. Property extraction can be used for targeted mailings or when updating customer or member registers. The service is also suitable when you need to inform the property owners concerned, for example in the case of forestry measures.
The forest owner map provides an overview of Sweden's largest forest owners
The forest owner map lists Sweden's large forest owners at a national level and gives you a quick overview of their holdings. The map is suitable for general planning and is useful for those who:
- want an overview of the holdings of the large forest owners (often the Swedish state or forestry companies)
- want to know which large forest owners are in your area of interest
- are timber buyers towards the private market - already at an early stage you see which areas the large forest owners own
The forest owner map is the result of a careful analysis of property boundaries and owner information from the property register, based on properties owned by legal entities with a holding of at least 1000 ha of forest. The map is updated once a year and can be delivered both as a map service and file delivery. For thorough search of affected landowners on individual properties for, for example, mailings or other contact, we recommend Metria FastighetSök or Metria Fastighetsuttag for the highest timeliness and reliability.
