The cadastral designation
A parcel has a three-part designation: the cadastral municipality, a section letter and a parcel number, for example ‘Amsterdam G 1313’. The cadastral municipality is an old division and does not always match the present-day municipality.
How accurate is the map?
The cadastral map shows where parcel boundaries lie, but it is not intended for legal surveying. If there is doubt about the exact boundary, the Kadaster can indicate or reconstruct it; there is a charge for this.
Shared parcels
With flats, the whole building is often on a single parcel. The area of that parcel then belongs to all the flats together. In that case, ownership is divided into apartment rights (appartementsrechten), which are managed through the owners’ association (Vereniging van Eigenaren, VvE).
Ownership and mortgage
Who the owner is, and whether there is a mortgage or ground lease (erfpacht) on the property, is recorded in the cadastral register. This information can be requested from the Kadaster, but not free of charge. The property report deliberately does not show ownership details.
