OWNERSHIP ARRANGEMENT AND LAND

The sale covers the building only. The property or land is not sold. The sale includes a right to use the land for 50 years under a ground lease. The lease area is defined in the map appendix and the boundary will be clarified if necessary before the sale.

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

The 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 substantial deferred maintenance, and the buyer should expect significant investments in structures, building services and energy solutions.

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

The building is sold as seen.

CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE AREA

The site is located in a historic and partly protected area. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate all regulatory requirements related to use and any planned changes.

HEATING SYSTEM (DISTRICT HEATING)

The area has a centralised district heating system, which is in use until 31 May 2027. After this date, each owner will be responsible for their own heating system.

The buyer should be prepared to implement a new system at their own cost and to bear costs after the transition period. During the transition, consumption will be billed based on sub‑metering and the seller is responsible for the system’s operation.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (CENTRALISED ELECTRICITY)

The area has a centralised electricity distribution system, which is in use until 31 May 2027. After that, connections will move to building‑specific supplies.

The buyer is responsible for implementing the electrical system at their own cost and for costs after the transition period. During the transition, consumption will be billed based on sub‑metering.

BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITIES AND OFFER

The property is not suitable for a passive owner; active development, investment and maintenance are required. By submitting an offer, the buyer confirms they have inspected the site and the documents and understand the risks. The buyer cannot later rely on matters that were observable before making the offer.

There is no guarantee or right of return for the property.

MAINTENANCE AND OBLIGATIONS

The buyer is responsible for the maintenance of the building and area. Maintenance must not be neglected so that the area deteriorates or causes harm to others.

If there are uncertainties regarding the plan or its interpretation, the buyer is advised to contact the local building inspector, who can provide further information on planning and permitted uses.
