Seized forest, 16.9 ha in Leppälahti, Jyväskylä

Method of submitting bids

The lot will be sold by upward bidding in an online auction on the website www.huutokaupat.com between 12 June 2026 and 28 June 2026. Participation in the auction requires registration. The deadline for submitting bids ends at 18:00 or three minutes after the last accepted bid.

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

If it is not possible to submit purchase bids through the Huutokaupat.com service, a prospective buyer may submit a written purchase bid to the enforcement authority, which will be attached to the online auction as a maximum bid according to the automatic increase feature. The written bid must be signed and must state the bidder’s contact details, the maximum amount of the bid and the Huutokaupat.com item number the bid concerns. A written purchase bid is binding and the same terms apply as in the online auction. The bid must be submitted no later than 25 June 2026 at 12:00 to the Enforcement Authority’s Jyväskylä office, address Vapaudenkatu 54, Jyväskylä, or by email to realisointi.jyvaskyla.uo@oikeus.fi.

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

Buyer’s liability to compensate

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 to compensate under Section 25, Chapter 5 of the Enforcement Code.

Payment terms

Deposit

The buyer must immediately pay a deposit of 20 per cent of the purchase price into the Enforcement Authority’s official fund account. The deposit cannot be paid by credit card. The Enforcement Authority will contact the bidder whose bid has been accepted as the highest. The highest bidder must state on whose behalf the bid was made. Otherwise the highest bidder will be considered the buyer.

Payment period

If necessary, up to six weeks’ payment period may be granted for the remaining purchase price. The payment period will be notified separately. If a payment period is granted, annual interest shall be payable on the whole purchase price in accordance with Section 3(2) of the Interest Act for the entire agreed payment period from the date of sale until the payment period ends.

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 prescribed time, the buyer must pay late interest on the whole purchase price in accordance with Section 4(1) of the Interest Act until the purchase price is paid or a new sale has taken place.
