Seized property with a building in need of demolition in Muhniemi, Kouvola

The property is sold by upward bidding in an online auction on the Huutokaupat.com website between 25 May–15 June 2026. Participation in the auction requires registration. The deadline for submitting bids ends on 15 June 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 stated payment period. Failure to pay the offered purchase price may lead to the buyer's liability under Chapter 5, Section 25 of the Enforcement Code. The buyer must compensate the difference if the highest bid in a new sale is lower than the previous highest bid increased by the interest referred to in Chapter 5, Section 24(2) of the Enforcement Code. If a bid exceeds that amount, the buyer has no right to any surplus. The buyer must also reimburse the costs of the subsequent sale, unless they are covered by the surplus. The enforcement officer shall collect the said compensation from the deposit or the buyer's other assets if reasonably possible. Otherwise the compensation will be collected later based on the enforcement officer's decision at the creditor's request.

If it is not possible to submit purchase 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 in accordance with the auction's automatic increment system. The written offer must be signed and must include the bidder's contact details, the maximum offer amount and the Huutokaupat.com item number to which the offer relates. The written purchase offer is binding and is subject to the same conditions as bids submitted in the online auction. The offer must be submitted no later than 12 June 2026 at 10:00 to the Enforcement Authority's Kouvola office, address Vuorikatu 1, 45100 Kouvola, or by e-mail to kouvola.realisointi.uo@oikeus.fi.

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

If the highest bid is accepted, the buyer must immediately pay 20 per cent of the purchase price as a deposit to the Enforcement Authority's official account. The deposit cannot be paid by credit card. The Enforcement Authority will contact the person whose highest bid has been accepted. The highest bidder must indicate on whose behalf the bid was made; otherwise the highest bidder will be considered the buyer. Notification of acceptance or rejection of a bid will always be given separately.

A payment period of up to six weeks may be granted if necessary. Any payment period will be notified separately. If an extension is granted, annual interest will be charged on the entire purchase price in accordance with Section 3(2) of the Interest Act for the agreed payment period from the date of sale until the payment deadline. If no payment period is granted, the purchase price must be paid immediately after acceptance of the bid. If payment is not made by the due date, the buyer must pay default interest on the entire purchase price in accordance with Section 4(1) of the Interest Act until the purchase price is paid or a new sale has been carried out.

The asset has been seized and is sold by the enforcement officer by means of a free sale, observing where applicable the general auction terms laid down in the Enforcement Code.

Buyers are urged to familiarise themselves thoroughly with the sales item, the sales brochure and the attached documents before placing a bid. The buyer must make their own assessment of the condition of the building and the renovations required, taking into account at least their own inspection observations. Therefore, it is advisable to inspect the property. The sales brochure is indicative and is not a comprehensive description of the property. The building is sold in demolition condition; the yard sauna building and the storage building are also in demolition condition.

The State has a pre-emptive right to purchase the property if acquisition is necessary to ensure national defence, border surveillance or border security, or to safeguard regional integrity (Act on the State's pre-emptive right in certain areas 29 March 2019/469).

Persons from outside the EU and EEA may acquire real estate in the territory of the State of Finland only if a permit is granted (Act on the Requirement for a Permit for Certain Acquisitions of Real Estate 29 March 2019/470). The buyer is responsible for obtaining any required permit and for the obligations arising from it. Further information is available on the Ministry of Defence website.
