What It Is

KALME is a land and real estate data platform for the Latvian market, positioned around “understanding land value and finding buyers.” Based on the content reviewed, it brings together public data such as VZD records, map layers, transaction filters, and buyer-seller matching in a single interface, with a particular focus on agricultural land, forests, cadastral parcels, and some apartment transaction searches.

Core Features and Data Dimensions

The core of the platform is map-based search. Users can look up transactions by novads, pagasts, PIN point, radius, time period, price in €/ha, area, LIZ-only, forest-only, and other criteria, and view transaction counts as well as average prices for agricultural land and forests. It also provides Pagasta/PIN PDF reports. The apartment module supports filters such as city, year, number of rooms, area, €/㎡, total price, floor, and year of construction. Map layers cover listings for sale/rent, apartments, LAD-declared fields, drainage, groundwater, ownership, and nature protection information, with Premium unlocking certain ownership and nature protection layers.

Deal Matching and Collaboration

KALME is not just a search tool; it also offers a marketplace module. Buyers can define areas of interest for land, forests, houses, premises, and more, and the system displays matching new offers. Sellers can publish sale/rental listings via the map or cadastral number, add images and video/virtual viewing links, and bulk-import listings via CSV/Excel. Once an offer is accepted by the seller, the system sends phone numbers to both parties so they can contact each other directly. The backend also shows workflows such as Admin, pending listing review, and VZD ownership verification, but there is no evidence of mature team role permissions, approval chains, or enterprise-grade audit features.

Pricing and Security

Pricing is clear: a free plan is available; 1 day costs €6 and includes 4 SIA disclosures plus 24-hour access; 1 month costs €40/month, includes 40 SIA disclosures, and renews automatically; Super costs €99/month, includes 120 SIA disclosures, and is aimed at professionals. Payments are handled by Citadele Klix, so card details do not enter KALME servers, and VAT is calculated automatically. On the privacy side, it supports GDPR account deletion and phone verification, while images are compressed and EXIF data is removed.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strengths are its strong vertical focus, tight integration of cadastral and map data, short-term paid access that works well for temporary due diligence, and bulk import that is convenient for professional sellers. Limitations include its Latvia-only data coverage; the platform itself notes that publicly disclosed forest transaction prices may not represent the true total amount. Information on API access, SLA, customer support, and self-hosting is also limited. It is best suited to Latvian land investors, farms, forest-land buyers and sellers, brokers, and due diligence professionals.

Access from China

There is no clear information on access from China, a Chinese-language interface, RMB pricing, or China-local payment methods, so china_access can only be assessed as unknown. For Chinese users researching Latvian assets, it can serve as a professional data entry point. If a local alternative is needed, priority should be given to official cadastral/real estate data sources in the target country and local real estate platforms.
