OWNERSHIP ARRANGEMENT AND LAND

The sale covers the building only. The property or land is not sold. The sale includes a 50‑year right to use the land under a ground lease. The lease area is defined in the map annex and the boundary will be specified if necessary before completion.

The land lease covers costs incurred to the lessor. The buyer should note that this is not ownership of the land, which may affect financing and collateral.

Purchase of the land can be negotiated separately later, but the seller does not commit to a sale.

BUILDING CONDITION AND TECHNICAL RISKS

The building is aged and technically basic. There is significant renovation backlog, and the buyer must prepare for substantial investments in structure, building services and energy solutions.

There are risk structures in the building, particularly in the subfloor, external walls and roof, which involve moisture and indoor air risks. A condition survey will be carried out before sale and provided to prospective buyers no later than during negotiations.

The building is sold as seen.
