Identifying all third-party land parcels affected by utility lines provides a legally robust record of existing land rights
The complete and structured identification of all affected third-party land parcels helps reduce legal risks over the long term.
The centralised, structured recording of easements replaces disparate lists and provides immediate visibility.
Available as individual modules or as a complete package, enabling flexible collaboration without fixed project or resource commitments.
In the context of public utility networks for electricity, sewerage, water and gas, a utility line right is a right in rem held by a utility or waste management company, allowing it to install and operate utility lines on land owned by a third party.
Installing infrastructure such as power cables, pipelines, district heating pipes and sewers often involves crossing third-party land, particularly on the last mile. Companies that do not own the land concerned require the consent of the relevant landowners before they can install and operate utility lines there.
Under German land registration law, this consent is formalised through a utility line right in the form of an easement or a restricted personal easement. The right must be entered in the land register.
Recording and continuously updating all rights registered in the land register for properties not owned by grid operators is a demanding and highly labour-intensive task.
We support municipal utilities and inter-municipal bodies with baseline data collection, statistical analysis and keeping their datasets up to date.
We can provide the work described as a complete package or as individual service modules. Together, we agree how responsibilities should be divided between your organisation and CAIGOS as your service partner.
Identifying all land parcels crossed by utility infrastructure, including sewers and water, gas and electricity lines, that are not owned by the utility operator.
