Seized property with buildings in Miehikkälä, Miehikkälä

Specific terms of sale

How to place bids

The lot is sold by incremental bids in an online auction held on the www.huutokaupat.com website during 9 July–29 July 2026. Participation in the auction requires registration. The deadline for placing bids ends on 29 July 2026 at 15:00 or three minutes after the last accepted bid.

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

The Enforcement Authority reserves the right to end the sale or to extend the sale period.

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 the maximum offer according to the automatic increment. The written offer must be signed and must state the bidder’s contact details, the maximum amount of the offer and the Huutokaupat.com lot number to which the offer relates. The written purchase offer is binding and the same terms as for the online auction apply. The offer must be delivered no later than 28 July 2026 at 12:00 to the mailbox in the lobby of the Enforcement Authority’s Kotka office, address: Vuorikatu 5 C, 48100 Kotka, or by email to kouvola.realisointi.uo@oikeus.fi.

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 for compensation under Chapter 5, section 25 of the Enforcement Code.

Payment terms

Deposit

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

Payment period

If necessary, a payment period may be granted for the balance of the purchase price until 19 August 2026. Any payment period must be agreed separately. If a payment period is used, annual interest will be charged 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 end of the payment period.

If no payment period is granted, the purchase price must be paid immediately after acceptance of the bid.

If payment is not made within the specified time, the buyer must pay late payment 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 been completed.
