kiinteistövälityslain

Kiinteistövälityslaki is the Finnish act governing real estate brokerage. This legislation sets out the requirements and responsibilities for individuals and companies operating as real estate agents in Finland. The primary purpose of the law is to ensure fair and transparent dealings in real estate transactions and to protect consumers.

The law mandates that real estate agents must be registered and possess specific qualifications. It outlines the information that must be provided to both buyers and sellers, including details about the property, the transaction process, and the agent's commission. Agents are also required to act with due diligence and in the best interests of their clients.

Key provisions of the kiinteistövälityslaki include rules on advertising, property valuations, and the handling of deposits. It also addresses potential conflicts of interest and establishes a framework for dispute resolution. The law aims to foster trust in the real estate market by setting a professional standard for all parties involved in property sales. Compliance with the kiinteistövälityslaki is overseen by relevant authorities in Finland, and breaches can lead to disciplinary actions.
