M161/Seized property with buildings, Karstula

How to submit bids

The lot is sold by incremental bids in an online auction held on www.huutokaupat.com between 6 July and 26 July 2026. Participation 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 functionality. The highest bid is the one the service provider’s system has accepted as highest. The enforcement officer will separately decide 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 offer to the enforcement authority, which will be attached to the online auction as a maximum bid in accordance with the automatic increment. The written offer must be signed and must include the bidder’s contact details, the maximum bid amount and the Huutokaupat.com lot number to which the offer relates. A written purchase offer is binding and is subject to the same terms as the online auction. The offer must be submitted no later than 23 July 2026 at 12:00 to the Enforcement Authority’s Jyväskylä office, address Vapaudenkatu 54, 40100 Jyväskylä, or by e-mail to jyvaskyla.realisointi.uo@oikeus.fi.

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

Buyer’s liability

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 result in the buyer’s liability to compensate under Section 25, Chapter 5 of the Enforcement Code.

Payment terms

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

If necessary, up to six weeks’ payment extension may be granted for the balance of the purchase price. The payment period will be notified separately. If a payment extension is granted, annual interest pursuant to Section 3(2) of the Interest Act is payable on the whole purchase price for the agreed payment period from the date of sale until the end of the payment period.

If no payment extension is granted, the purchase price must be paid immediately after the bid is accepted.

If payment is not made within the specified time, the buyer must pay default interest on the whole purchase price in accordance with Section 4(1) of the Interest Act until the price is paid or the property is re‑sold.

Obligations and rights transferred to the buyer

The buyer is responsible for any fees arising from the transfer of connection contracts.
