Seized undeveloped waterfront property on the shore of Ylä-Keitele, Viitasaari

The item will be sold by incremental bids in an online auction held on the website www.huutokaupat.com during the period 9 April – 17 May 2026. Participation in the auction requires registration. The deadline for placing bids ends at 18:00 or three minutes after the last accepted bid.

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

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

Bids placed in the online auction are binding. If a bid is accepted, the bidder is obliged to pay the offered purchase price within the stated payment period. Failure to pay the offered purchase price may lead to the buyer’s liability for compensation under section 25 of Chapter 5 of the Enforcement Code.

Payment terms

The buyer must immediately pay a deposit of 20 per cent of the purchase price into the Enforcement Authority’s official deposit account. The deposit cannot be paid by credit card. The Enforcement Authority will contact the highest bidder whose 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 buyer.

If necessary, up to six weeks’ payment time may be granted for the final purchase price. The payment period will be notified separately. If a payment period is granted, annual interest is payable on the full purchase price in accordance with section 3(2) of the Interest Act for the agreed payment period from the date of sale until the end of the payment period.

If no payment period is granted, the purchase price must be paid immediately after the bid is accepted.

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 is paid or a new sale has been completed.

Obligations and rights transferred to the buyer

The buyer is liable for any fees that may arise from transferring subscription contracts.
