Danger! Uckermark warns of dubious fees for property statements!

Every now and then, citizens in the Uckermark stumble when it comes to applying for extracts from the property cadastre. Recently, numerous people have complained about unexpected fees when obtaining these statements. As nordkurier.de reports, the authority is turning to the public on this matter in order to clear up misunderstandings.

The head of the office, Dirk Schneider, emphasizes that complaints often end up in the wrong place. Many citizens have used paid online service providers that advertise the processing of applications for property extracts. The problem? These service providers charge advance payment fees, while the official invoice for the move-out comes directly from the land registry office. “Everyone who uses the services of these providers ultimately pays twice,” explains Schneider.

Templates for application forms can be found on the district's official website under "Services". The good news: The fees are only due once the statement has been created.

What is the property cadastre?

service.berlin.de The cadastre includes both land maps, which show the spatial boundaries, and the property register, which contains descriptive information.

A current extract from the cadastre is essential when applying for construction projects, mortgaging land or purchasing properties. The processes are clearly structured here too: applications can be submitted online or in writing. It should be noted that fees for statements can vary. For example, the fee for an extract from the field map is 16 euros per sheet.

There is currently a trend that citizens are increasingly relying on private providers to obtain this information. But as lgl-bw.de explains, this is not necessary and can lead to excessive fees. If you are looking for the necessary information online or need extracts, you should always contact the responsible surveying authority directly to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Conclusion: If you are looking for property statements, you should be well informed and try to avoid unnecessary costs through intermediary service providers. Direct contact with the authority is the key to a smooth process.
