Kinnistusraamat

Estonian Land Register index (e-kinnistusraamat)

The free layer is an index, not an extract: it resolves an address or cadastral unit to a register part and its basic facts. Owner, mortgages, servitudes and notations are paid and login-only — read ## Limits before promising an encumbrance check.

Vetted module (use this first)

kinnistusraamat.mjs ships in https://kodanikukratt.ee/kratt-agent.tar.gz (plain ESM, Node 22+) and is re-verified against the live source:

import { show } from "./kratt.mjs";
import { landRegisterSearch } from "./kinnistusraamat.mjs";

const r = await landRegisterSearch("Vabriku tn 12, Tallinn");
show({ kokku: r.total, vasteid: r.matched, truncated: r.truncated, page: r.page, note: r.note });
show(r.rows);                       // the rows that really match the query
show(r.nearby.map((n) => n.aadress)); // the street neighbours the fuzzy search also returned

• landRegisterSearch(term) takes an address, a katastritunnus (78401:101:5214) or a registriosa number (2349701). The register's address search is fuzzy at street level — "Vabriku tn 12, Tallinn" returns 15 rows led by Vabriku 31 — so the module splits them: rows match every word of the query, nearby is everything else. A street neighbour presented as the answer looks exactly like a correct answer, so read matched before quoting a number.
• total is the register's own count and rows may be fewer. The result page renders 25 rows and reports its count separately (29 against 25 rendered, for one Vabriku 31 query); truncated says when that happened. State counts from total.
• The register throttles anonymous searches with a CAPTCHA — measured at the fourth search in a row, clearing after about half a minute. The module waits it out and retries, and if it still cannot get through it says so. A captcha page is not "this address does not exist", and nothing may report it as one.
• note carries the boundary this recipe exists for: no owner, no mortgage, no servitude, no notation. The answer has to say that they were not retrieved.
• source and page are the same URL here — the search result opens in a browser without a login — and it is the only link a result entitles you to add.

The endpoints below are the fallback if a module call throws.

Access

Application: https://kinnistusraamat.rik.ee/ (ASP.NET) — the app shell, which opens on a blank search form. Exactly one endpoint answers anonymously, with no payment:

GET https://kinnistusraamat.rik.ee/PealeheOtsinguTulemus.aspx?term={query}&kehtetuOmanik=false&oigustatudIsik=false&otsi=1

Send Accept: text/html only to override a client that asks for JSON by default, as get() does — a fetch sending no Accept at all returned the same page with main-result-table and fields_HiddenResCount present (verified 2026-08-03 on 78401:101:5214), so an agent that cannot set headers can still run this. term accepts an address (Vabriku tn 12, Tallinn), a cadastral unit number (78401:101:5214) or a register part number (2349701). Address matching is fuzzy at street level, so a street query returns the neighbours too — pick the row whose address matches.

Search by cadastral unit whenever you can. address-search turns a free-text address into one, and that number returns a single exact row where the address text returns the street. It also settles which town was meant before this register is asked — the address query cannot, and answers about the wrong Vabriku 12 look identical to right ones.

Everything else on that host requires TARA login (ID-card / Mobiil-ID / Smart-ID). GET .../KRavalikTeated.aspx redirects to Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=…; SearchResultPrint.aspx and the default.aspx?LoadToFile=true… export both need the logged-in session and return an empty page or a redirect without it.

Retrieve

Parse <table id="main-result-table">. Data columns, in order: Kinnistu nr, Kinnistu liik (Kinnisasi, Korteriomand, Hoonestusõigus, …), Katastritunnus, Katastriüksuse aadress, Pindala, Eriomand (count of eriomand units, or *). The row immediately after each result carries Korteriühistu registrikood and Sihtotstarve. The hidden input fields_HiddenResCount holds the match count.

import { get, show } from "./kratt.mjs";
const cell = (h) => h.replace(/<[^>]+>/g, " ").replace(/&nbsp;/g, " ").replace(/\s+/g, " ").trim();

const term = "Vabriku tn 12, Tallinn";
const url = "https://kinnistusraamat.rik.ee/PealeheOtsinguTulemus.aspx?term=" +
  encodeURIComponent(term) + "&kehtetuOmanik=false&oigustatudIsik=false&otsi=1";
const p = await get(url, { headers: { Accept: "text/html" } });
const tbl = p.match(/<table id="main-result-table"[\s\S]*?<\/table>/)?.[0] ?? "";
const rows = [...tbl.matchAll(/<tr[\s\S]*?<\/tr>/g)]
  .map((m) => [...m[0].matchAll(/<td[\s\S]*?<\/td>/g)].map((c) => cell(c[0])))
  .filter((r) => /^\d+$/.test(r[1] ?? ""))          // data rows start with the register part number
  .map((r) => ({ kinnistuNr: r[1], liik: r[2], katastritunnus: r[3], aadress: r[4], pindala: r[5] }));
show({ source: url, kokku: p.match(/HiddenResCount" value="(\d+)"/)?.[1], rows }, 3000);

Zero results render "Otsingutulemused puuduvad.", no main-result-table, and HiddenResCount = 0.

Return

Preserve Kinnistu nr, Kinnistu liik, Katastritunnus, the full Katastriüksuse aadress, Pindala, eriomand count, Korteriühistu registrikood, Sihtotstarve, the query term, the match count and the URL fetched. State explicitly that ownership and encumbrances were not retrieved.

The PealeheOtsinguTulemus.aspx?term=… URL you fetched IS the citation. It needs no login and renders the same result table in a browser (verified anonymously 2026-07-28), so it is both the source and the page the citizen can open. The application root above is a pointer, not a source: citing it in place of the URL that carries the row tells the reader the answer came from a blank form.

Where the rest of a property check comes from

These are recipe names, not links. To point the citizen at one, query it and cite what came back; a register this run did not open may be NAMED in the answer but never linked — a domain built from a register's name is a guess that looks like a source.

• Cadastral geometry, restrictions and map layers: geospatial-open-data. The result page also builds a Maa-amet link: https://xgis.maaamet.ee/xgis2/page/app/maainfo?showsearchlayer=1&hide=true&searchid=FADS0703&ORIG_TUNNUS={katastritunnus}.
• Buildings, building permits and kasutusluba on the plot: construction-register.
• The korteriühistu behind a Korteriühistu registrikood: business-register-open-data.
• Detail plans and public-display windows affecting the plot: planning-decisions.
• If the object is on a forced-sale auction, its III and IV jagu encumbrances are published in full for free in the auction notice — see bailiff-proceedings.
• Kinnistusraamatu teated in Ametlikud Teadaanded: main type kinnisturaamat, subtypes kinnistusraamatu-registriosa-avamine, kinnistusraamatust-eelmarke-kustutamise-noue, kohtu-kinnistusosakonna-maaruse-kattetoimetamine — via official-notices.
• Paid-layer prices, if the citizen asks what a full check costs: https://www.rik.ee/et/e-kinnistusraamat/e-kinnistusraamatu-portaal/teenuste-hinnad (fetch it; do not quote from memory).

Limits

• The free layer answers "which register part and cadastral unit is this address, how big is it, what is it for" — it contains no owner, mortgage, servitude, notation or document data, so it cannot complete an encumbrance or ownership check on its own.
• The paid sections (I jagu, II jagu owner, III+IV jagu encumbrances, whole register part) need a login or a card payment. Do not buy data; tell the citizen the price and the route.
• Searching by a private person's name or isikukood is refused by the register itself ("Eraisiku nime või isikukoodi järgi kinnistuid otsida ei saa"), so "what property does X own" is not answerable here.
• Viewing personal data in the paid layer is logged to the subject's eesti.ee andmejälgija for a year — worth telling a citizen who is about to look someone up.

Verify

• A retrieval counts only when <table id="main-result-table"> is present and at least one row begins with a numeric Kinnistu nr, and fields_HiddenResCount parsed as an integer. The Avaleht.aspx shell, a Login.aspx redirect, and a table with only its header row are all NOT data.
• Use a row only if Kinnistu nr and Katastritunnus are both present.
• Never report an owner, hüpoteek, servituut or keelumärge from this endpoint: it does not return them.
