Detached house plot in Mellunkylä's Tankomäki, plot 47369/5, Tankomäenkatu 26, area 462 m², building right 180 m², Helsinki

The City of Helsinki leases nine (9) detached house plots in the Tankomäki area of district 47 (Mellunkylä) through an open tender to the bidder offering the highest accepted price. Each plot has its own auction item, where bids are submitted. Bids may be made for each plot.

The bid is made on the total price of the plot. The initial annual rent is 3.5% of the offered plot price. After the initial annual rent, the plot rent is tied to the annual average cost-of-living index of the previous year.

Once the plot has been built to a condition approved for occupancy by building control, the tenant may, within five years from the start of the land lease agreement, if desired, buy the plot for themselves. The plot’s long-term lease agreement is made once a building permit has been granted for the plot. The offered price, and the rent based on it, will be increased if the floor area under the zoning plan on which the offer is based is exceeded. The tenant applies for a building permit with the landlord’s lease decision, which is valid for one year.

The lease includes an index review for the first time after 20 years from the start of the long-term land lease agreement. After that, further index reviews are carried out every 10 or 20 years, according to the tenant’s choice. At the index reviews, the rent is compared with the Helsinki Metropolitan Area housing price index when determining the rent level.

A reservation fee of €5,000 must be paid for the plot. After the reservation fee has been paid, a lease decision is made for the plot, allowing the tenant to apply for a building permit. The reservation fee will be credited against the rents under the long-term land lease if the long-term lease is completed. Otherwise, the reservation fee will not be refunded.

Further instructions can be found in the Price Competition brochure attached.

NOTE! The plots in the price competition are located in a groundwater area, and therefore ground-source heating cannot be built on them.
