Seized forest property, Pyhtää

Specific terms of sale

How to submit bids

The property will be sold by ascending bids in an online auction held on the website www.huutokaupat.com during the period 9 February 2026–2 March 2026. Participation in the auction requires registration. The deadline for submitting bids ends on 2 March 2026 at 18:00 or three minutes after the last accepted bid.

The Enforcement Authority is not responsible for the service provider's system functionality. The highest bid is the bid that the service provider's system has accepted as highest. The enforcement officer will separately decide whether to accept or reject the highest bid.

Bids submitted in the online auction are binding. If a bid is accepted, the bidder is obliged to pay the offered purchase price within the agreed payment time. Failure to pay the offered purchase price may lead to the buyer's liability for compensation under Chapter 5, Section 25 of the Enforcement Code.

If it is not possible to submit bids via the Huutokaupat.com service, a prospective buyer may submit a written purchase offer to the enforcement authority, which will be attached to the online auction as a maximum bid according to the automatic bid increment. The written offer must be signed and must state the bidder's contact details, the maximum amount of the offer and the Huutokaupat.com item number that the offer concerns. The written purchase offer is binding and the same terms apply as in the online auction. The offer must be submitted no later than 24 February 2026 at 12:00 to the Enforcement Authority’s Kotka office, address Vuorikatu 5 C, 48100, or by e‑mail to kouvola.realisointi.uo@oikeus.fi.

The enforcement authority reserves the right to end the sale or to extend the sale period.

Payment terms

Deposit

If the highest bid is accepted, the buyer must immediately pay a deposit equal to 20% of the purchase price to the Enforcement Authority's official account. The deposit cannot be paid by credit card. The Enforcement Authority will contact the bidder whose highest bid has been accepted. The highest bidder must state on whose behalf the bid was made; otherwise the highest bidder will be regarded as the purchaser.

Payment period

The remaining purchase price may, if necessary, be given a payment period until 24 March 2026. The payment period must be agreed separately. If a payment period is used, interest on the full purchase price will be charged at the annual rate provided for in Section 3(2) of the Interest Act for the entire agreed payment period from the date of sale until the end of the payment period.

If no payment period is used, the purchase price must be paid immediately after the acceptance of the bid.

If payment is not made within the specified time, the buyer must pay default interest on the full purchase price in accordance with Section 4(1) of the Interest Act until the purchase price has been paid or a new sale has been completed.
