Why the land register extract matters when checking a property in canton Solothurn
The land register extract shows you who owns a property and what easements, mortgages, or annotations burden it — information the PLR cadastre does not provide. In canton Solothurn, the responsible regional registry also acts as the land registry office.

Easements and other entries in the extract
Besides ownership, the extract lists easements such as rights of way or building rights, land charges, and mortgages. An easement survives a change of owner and can restrict how the property may be used.
