Bright 40 m² two-room flat – Functional tiled fireplace, storage/garage and garden plot, Varkaus

Shares in Asunto Oy Varkauden Kinnulankatu 7, which entitle the holder to control of a 40 m² two-room flat at Kinnulankatu 7 A 2, 78200 Varkaus, are being sold by auction.

The flat is located in the peaceful Joutenlahti area on the first floor of a two-storey wooden apartment building. The apartment has two rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom/WC, as well as a walk-in wardrobe.

The flat has beautiful wooden floorboards (but in need of surface renovation), a wood-panelled ceiling in one room and the atmosphere of an old wooden house. The bright rooms and clear layout provide a good basis for a home, a holiday base or an investment property. The flat has a functioning tiled stove that has been in continuous use. It adds atmosphere and allows electric heating to be supplemented with wood heating.

The shares also include a private (small) garage and a garden plot allocated to the flat. The apartment also comes with a cellar storage room, attic storage and a wood shed. The housing company has a shared sauna and laundry room.

The flat is in basic condition and ready for immediate use; it has only recently become vacant after rental use. The surfaces, kitchen and washing facilities are partly dated and offer the new owner an opportunity to renovate the flat to their own taste. The condition and fittings of the flat are shown in the listing photos and at the viewing.

Housing company finances

The housing company has no loans. According to the 2025 financial statements, the company recorded an operating surplus and liquidity was satisfactory during the financial period. The 2026 budget shows a surplus.

According to the 2025 annual audit report, the audit could not be completed in full, because some accounting material from the previous property management company was missing for the auditor. For this reason, the auditor did not comment on discharge from liability for the previous property management company. The property management company has since changed. More detailed information is included in the sales documents.

Other notes

No full-building hazardous materials survey has been carried out in the housing company. Before any renovation work, any necessary asbestos and hazardous materials surveys must be carried out in accordance with current regulations.

The property and its fittings are sold in their condition at the time of sale. Buyers are advised to carefully inspect the flat, garage, other spaces, the housing company and the sales documents before placing a bid.
