Understand a property and its context
A property lands on your desk. It could be a prospectus, a credit application, an enquiry from a client, a zoning notice or an internal portfolio review. The question is the same: what am I looking at, and is it interesting enough to spend more time on?
Placepoint Fusion gathers the answer in the Property panel: 17 tabs covering matrikkel, buildings, owners, tenants, transactions, zoning, risk and ESG from one workspace. The search field at the top finds the property; the rest is one click away.
Who this is for
Commercial agents, credit analysts, property lawyers, asset managers and developers who need a complete picture of a single property quickly: enough to decide whether it is worth more time, or enough to move on to a formal process.
How to do it in Placepoint Fusion
1. Find the property
The search field at the top left accepts an address, gnr/bnr, matrikkel, owner name, tenant name or organisation number. Type what you have and click a result. The map zooms to the property; click the polygon to open the Property panel.
2. Read the Overview tab
The Property panel opens with Overview as the first tab. It gathers:
- Registered owner, matrikkel identifier and plot area.
- Number of buildings and total UFA.
- The current zoning plan with land use purpose and plot ratio.
- The most recent sale with date and consideration.
- Energy Rating where it is registered.
For most lookups, Overview is enough to decide whether the property is interesting.
3. Go deeper through the tabs
The Property panel has 17 tabs. Choose the ones that answer the question you have:
| Tab | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Empty | Exact plot area from the matrikkel, neighbouring properties, plan boundaries. |
| Plot Valuation | Calculated development potential and zoning parameters. |
| Building | All buildings with UFA, year of construction and usage units. Click a building for the Building panel. |
| Units | Usage units, area per floor and section details. |
| Tenants | Who is based at the address, linked to organisation number, employees and turnover from Brønnøysundregistrene. |
| Owners | Registered owner and the ownership chain up to the parent company and any fund levels. |
| Transactions | Complete sales history and share transactions. |
| Zoning | Current plan, plan history and a link to the plan document. |
| Risk | Flood zones, landslides, quick clay, ground contamination and radon in one overview. |
| ESG | Energy Label and climate indicators per building. |
| Case Access | Building cases, dispensations and orders from the municipality's archive. Unresolved cases appear here, not in Grunnboken. |
| Documents | Registered documents and a Grunnboken extract. |
The Listing, Valuation, Rental Valuation and Public Journal tabs add further depth for pricing and market positioning.
4. Add map layer context
The Property panel answers what the property is. Map layers answer what is around it. Switch on layers for demographics, business activity, transport or risk depending on what the lookup requires.
For a credit analyst, that is typically risk and tenant stability. For an agent, it is demographics and recent sales in the neighbourhood. For a developer, it is zoning and transformation plans.
5. Click a building for the Building panel
Click a building in the Building tab or directly on the map to open the Building panel. Here you find details per building across five tabs: Building (key figures and Energy Label), Contacts, Floors, Units and Tenants (construction history and application history).
6. Tag for follow-up
Promising properties are tagged in Tags straight from the Property panel. Tags are your private working list and follow you across projects.
A concrete example
A commercial agent is preparing for a client meeting about an office property. In five minutes she takes from the Overview tab: the registered owner and most recent sale, the zoned land use purpose with maximum BYA and number of floors, and the two largest tenants with contract expiry dates. In the Building tab she finds total UFA per building. With the Risk map layer active, she confirms that the property is not in a flood zone. She walks into the meeting with figures that speak for themselves.
