Sold to the highest bidder: a stylish, relatively new studio apartment in a lift-equipped building completed in 2021, in central Tikkurila.

The apartment

Apartment G8 is for sale at Unikkotie 5 G, 01300 Vantaa, in Asunto Oy Vantaan Tikkurilan Viides. The apartment is a 25.5 m² studio with a kitchenette, located on the 3rd floor of a lift-equipped building. The apartment is stylish and relatively new.

The housing company

Asunto Oy Vantaan Tikkurilan Viides is an impressive eight-storey apartment building completed in 2021, and one of the most stylish buildings in Tikkurila’s new centre. The building is recognisable by its green roof, while its modern architecture stands out in the streetscape. The building has 40 apartments, 2 commercial premises and a lift. The company owns its 560 m² plot. The plot was fully redeemed by the company in 2022, so no ground rent is payable and there is no risk of rent increases. The redemption was financed with a plot loan, which is included in the apartment’s loan share.

• Heating: district heating

• Ventilation: mechanical supply and extract ventilation with heat recovery

• Energy rating: B2018

• Roof: green roof

• TV and internet: cable TV (DVB-C) and Telia Ethernet data connection. The cable TV and broadband charge is €2.40/month.

Through the block’s shared arrangements, residents also have access to a laundry room and drying room, a club room, civil defence shelters and bicycle spaces on the courtyard deck.

The housing company’s finances are in good condition and the service charge level is predictable. The maintenance charge has remained unchanged at €6.00/m²/month in both 2025 and 2026, while the finance charges have fallen significantly: the building loan charge from €3.20 to €2.30 and the plot loan charge from €10.00 to €6.20 (from 1 July 2026). The maintenance finances showed a surplus in 2025, and the 2026 budget is also in surplus. The company had €68,810 in cash at the end of 2025. The loans have long repayment periods (2046 and 2047), keeping the finance charge moderate. The apartment’s loan share, €121,087.73 (30 September 2026), can be repaid in full if desired.

The city

Vantaa is Finland’s fourth-largest city, with nearly 250,000 residents. Tikkurila is the city’s administrative centre, home to most of the city’s services, and its station is served by both long-distance and commuter trains. Thanks to the area’s strong concentration of jobs and transport links, demand for small rental apartments is steady.

Micro-location

The location is one of the best in Tikkurila: all everyday services and excellent transport connections are right on the doorstep. The bus stop is just 30 m away, Tikkuri shopping centre 100 m away and Tikkurila station approximately 400 m away. Dixi shopping centre is also just a few minutes’ walk away. By train, central Helsinki is 10–20 minutes away and the airport approximately 15 minutes away. Tikkurila health centre is located on the same street, and the nearest gym is approximately 400 m away. The riverside, around 500 m away, is ideal for outdoor activities. The Vantaa light rail line, which will run along Kielotie, is also planned for the area, further improving connections.

Tenancy

The apartment is let under a fixed-term tenancy agreement starting on 1 December 2026 and running until 30 November 2027, after which it will continue until further notice. Rental income is therefore secured for at least one year ahead. The rent is €690/month plus usage charges. The tenancy is secured by a €690 cash deposit and a personal guarantee, which will be transferred to the buyer upon completion.

Rental yield and price

The apartment’s maintenance charge is €155.40/month, leaving €534.60/month or €6,415.20/year in rental income after the maintenance charge! The finance charge is €758.17/month, and it is recognised as income in the accounts, allowing the investor to deduct it for tax purposes.

The apartment is subject to a housing company loan of €121,087.73 (30 September 2026). The €24,000 starting price offers an investor the opportunity to buy a relatively new, already-let apartment in the heart of Tikkurila with a small amount of own capital.

The rent is in line with the local market: studios completed in 2021 at the same address are rented for €730–739/month, making €690/month competitive and potentially leaving room for an increase.
