Why the land-register extract matters before buying in Fribourg

The land-register extract shows who owns a parcel and which easements or mortgages encumber it — information the PLR cadastre does not provide. In the canton of Fribourg, the land register sits under the Finance Directorate.

The Four Honesty States

Every fact in an alpflo report carries exactly one of these states — so you can see at a glance what's documented and what isn't.

On record

Confirmed in an official Swiss register. Direct source.

None recorded

Register queried; nothing on this parcel. The absence is documented.

Modelled

Derived from a model or an API: real, but not directly from the register. Please verify.

Could not resolve

Hit an edge case. Stated honestly at the boundary, never silently discarded.
