As a rule, only the person who has placed the highest accepted bid in the online auction will become the buyer of the property. The Municipality of Myrskylä is not responsible for the functionality of the service provider’s system.

By submitting a bid, the bidder accepts the condition of the property as is.

The descriptions in the sales notice are only the seller’s estimates of the property for sale.

The competent authority of the Municipality of Myrskylä reserves the right to accept or reject the highest bid. The final highest bid requires a sales decision, which will be made in accordance with the municipality’s administrative rules as quickly as possible, but in line with any meeting procedures that may be required.

If the sales decision is negative, the bidder is not entitled to any compensation for the cancellation of the property transaction. Buyers from outside the EU and EEA require a separate permit for real estate transactions.

The final property transaction will be concluded in the form prescribed by the Finnish Land Code, in accordance with the deed prepared by the seller and the terms stated by the seller.

The purchase price must be paid to the seller before signing the deed.

The seller will hand over documents related to the property no earlier than at the deed-signing session.

Withdrawing from the sale

The seller has the right to withdraw from completing the final property transaction at any time if the property has not been sold in the manner prescribed by the Land Code.

If the buyer announces that they are withdrawing from the property transaction after the seller or the seller’s representative has confirmed acceptance of the bid, the seller will charge the buyer for the presentation of the property and preparation of the sale.

Viewing the property

Before submitting a bid, the bidder is obliged to inspect the property, documents and papers in question. The buyer may not later invoke any matter that could have been detected during the preliminary inspection.
