kiinteistöomistusta

Kiinteistöomistus refers to the legal right of an individual or entity to own, possess, use, and dispose of real property. This encompasses land and any permanent structures attached to it, such as buildings. In Finland, kiinteistöomistus is primarily governed by property law, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of property owners.

There are different forms of kiinteistöomistus. The most common is full ownership, where an individual or company owns the property outright. Another form is joint ownership, where two or more parties share ownership rights. For apartment buildings, ownership is typically divided into apartment ownership (asunto-osake) and real estate ownership (kiinteistöosake). Apartment ownership means owning shares in a housing company that owns the building and land, while real estate ownership involves owning a specific apartment unit within a larger property, including a share of the land.

The acquisition of kiinteistöomistus usually involves a purchase agreement, which must be registered with the relevant authorities to ensure legal validity. Property taxes are levied on kiinteistöomistus, and owners are responsible for maintaining their property in good condition. Disposal of property, such as through sale or inheritance, also follows specific legal procedures. Understanding the nuances of kiinteistöomistus is crucial for anyone involved in the Finnish real estate market.
