EULIS-European land information service

Gustafsson, Stefan & Agnieszka Drewniak

The aim of the European Land Information Service (EULIS) is to provide easy worldwide access to European land and property information, to underpin a single European property market. Although it is ultimately the citizens of Europe who have the most to gain from this new service, its target users are the professional intermediaries through which citizens act, such as lawyers, conveyancers and notaries, and service providers such as lenders and real estate agents. By making it easier for professionals to do business in other jurisdictions, EULIS aims to promote the economy of the European Community by: − breaking down barriers to cross-border lending; − enabling more competition in the secured credit and real property markets, bringing more choice for borrowers; − providing links with non-EU countries; and − encouraging the spread of best practice. The EULIS vision is that all of the on-line land and property registration authorities of Europe will one day be linked together through a single portal, enabling customers of any connected service to have ready access to information about individual properties throughout Europe. Customers will also have access to the necessary Reference Informationn about the land and property registration services and the legal environment in each country. This is seen as key factor, because access to registered property information is useless if it cannot be understood.
