Property checks before you buy in Latvia

See what the listing doesn't tell you.

Every property in Latvia leaves a trail in the official registers: the cadastre, the Land Register and the municipal plan. We gather what they hold, pick out what matters for your purchase and explain it before you sign.

Try:

Type an address or cadastre number, or paste an ss.com or City24 link. We cover plots now; reports on houses and apartments arrive in November 2026.

Why Site Radar

Register data alone doesn't always tell a buyer what it means. We analyse it together and give the reasons for our conclusions.

A free map or an automated report tells you a protection strip exists. We show where it runs, how much land it takes and what you can still build there.

A typical automated report

Area
1 437 m²
Purpose
single-family housing
Functional zone
Detached housing (DzS)
Cadastral value
€16 935
Encumbrance
water main protection zone, 0.022 ha

All correct, but it doesn't tell you whether you can build.

Aerial photo of Atbrīvotāju iela 2, Sigulda: the water main's protection strip crosses the plot, a 5 m strip lies between the street's red line and the building line, and two parts of about 544 and 466 square metres lie outside these limits.

The same plot in a Site Radar report

A water main crosses the middle of the plot. Its protection strip takes 220 m², 15 % of the land. Outside it and the 5 m strip between the street's red line and the building line, two parts of about 544 m² and 466 m² remain. The zone allows two houses on one property, with up to 431 m² of footprint; where houses can stand is settled with the protection zones, the other building rules and a design. Moving the pipe is agreed with the network's owner or operator, at the plot owner's cost.

  • The water main's protection strip: 3 m each side of the pipe, 220 m² of the plot
  • The 5 m strip between the street's red line and the building line
  • Outside the limits shown: about 544 m² and 466 m²

Six questions to ask before you buy a property

Find the answers before you buy, from the public registers.

What exactly am I buying?

The boundaries, the size, what the land is registered for, and whether anything already stands on it.

What can I build here?

How many houses, how big and how high, and how close to the boundary, under the municipal plan.

Where are the nearest utilities, and what does a connection take?

Where the road, power, water, sewer, gas and fibre are, and how close they come.

Is the ground sound?

Flood risk, soil and geology, protected nature, and what the land was used for before.

What rights and restrictions are registered?

Mortgages, rights of way, protection strips: anything that limits what you can do with it.

How does the asking price compare with sale prices of similar properties?

Where the asking price sits against the registered sale prices of similar properties nearby.

FAQ

Questions people ask us

More on the About page.

Why is this better than an automated report?

An automated report copies what the registers hold, such as a 0.022 ha protection zone or a zone code. It's correct, but it leaves the hard part to you. We read the registers, the municipal plan, the utility survey and the maps together. Then we draw what matters on your plot and back each conclusion with its source.

How is this different from free property maps?

A free map shows the registers one layer at a time. A report reads them all together for one property and tells you what they mean for your purchase.

Is a report a valuation?

No. A report is not a market value assessment. We show where the asking price sits against the registered sale prices of similar plots nearby.

Which properties do you cover?

Plots and land anywhere in Latvia. Houses and apartments arrive in November 2026.

How much does a report cost?

From €49 for a small residential plot. Enter the address and you'll see the exact price before you order.

How long does it take?

Within 24 hours of payment. Our team reviews every report before it reaches you.

What if you miss something?

Missed something? Money back. If the report leaves out anything recorded, on the report date, in the public registers it covers, we refund its price under our terms of service.

Which languages?

Reports come in English or Latvian.
