The item will be sold by increasing bids in an online auction held on the www.huutokaupat.com website from 22 July to 12 August 2026, ending at 11:00. Participation in the auction requires registration. The deadline for submitting bids ends at 11:00 on 12 August 2026 or three minutes after the last accepted bid.

The Enforcement Authority is not responsible for the functionality of the service provider’s system. The highest bid is the one the service provider’s system has accepted as highest. The enforcement officer will decide separately whether to accept or reject the highest bid. 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 the maximum bid in accordance with the automatic increment system.

A written offer must be signed and must state the contact details of the bidder, the maximum amount of the bid and the Huutokaupat.com lot number to which the offer relates. A written purchase offer is binding and is subject to the same conditions as the online auction.

Offers must be submitted no later than 6 August 2026 at 12:00 to the Enforcement Authority’s Kotka office at Vuorikatu 5 C, 48100 Kotka, or by e-mail to kouvola.realisointi.uo@oikeus.fi.

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

Offers submitted in the online auction are binding. If an accepted offer is made, the bidder is obliged to pay the offered purchase price within the stated payment period (immediately). Failure to pay the offered purchase price may result in the buyer’s liability for compensation under Chapter 5, section 25 of the Enforcement Code.

The buyer must immediately, after acceptance of the bid, pay the full purchase price to the Enforcement Authority’s official account. The Enforcement Authority will contact the highest bidder whose bid has been accepted. The highest bidder must state on whose behalf the bid was made. Otherwise the highest bidder will be regarded as the buyer. If payment is not made within the prescribed time, 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 default interest rate is currently 9.50%.

Buyers are advised to thoroughly inspect the sale item, the sales brochure and the attached documents before making a bid.

The property must be collected as soon as possible after payment of the purchase price.
