Introduction to real estate

Real estate information is used in many different business processes. Information on real estate, buildings, land and ownership is an important source of data for analysis, planning and decision-making in several industries.

In Sweden, information on approximately 3.4 million properties is available in the national Land Registry. The data includes, among other things:

    • property designations
    • addresses
    • property owners
    • buildings
    • assessed values
    • purchase prices
    • mortgages and easements.

When real estate information is combined with geographic data and analytics, organizations can get a more complete picture of how real estate, land and infrastructure are connected.

This guide describes how real estate information is used in several different industries, including

    • banking and finance
    • insurance
    • energy
    • telecoms
    • construction and infrastructure.
