reaalikauppa

Reaalikauppa is a Finnish term that translates to "real estate transaction" or "property deal." It refers to the process of buying or selling a piece of real estate, such as a house, apartment, or land. This process typically involves several stages, including finding a property, negotiating a price, securing financing, and completing the legal transfer of ownership.

In Finland, reaalikauppa is governed by specific laws and regulations designed to protect both buyers and sellers. A significant part of the reaalikauppa process involves the signing of a preliminary purchase agreement (esopimus) and then the final purchase agreement (kauppakirja). These documents outline the terms and conditions of the sale, including the price, payment schedule, and any specific clauses related to the property.

Real estate agents (kiinteistönvälittäjä) often play a role in facilitating reaalikauppa, assisting clients with property listings, viewings, negotiations, and paperwork. The involvement of legal professionals, such as lawyers or notaries, is also common to ensure the transaction is legally sound and all documentation is correctly handled. The completion of a reaalikauppa results in the transfer of title and ownership of the property from the seller to the buyer.
