kiinteistökauppa
Kiinteistökauppa refers to the legal transaction of buying and selling real estate in Finland. This process involves the transfer of ownership of land, including any buildings or structures permanently attached to it. The key legal document governing kiinteistökauppa is the Land Code (Maakaari).
A binding real estate transaction requires a written purchase agreement signed by both the buyer and seller.
The transfer of ownership is formally completed through a registration process at the Finnish Land Survey.
A crucial aspect of kiinteistökauppa is the seller's obligation to disclose any known defects or encumbrances
