Plots in Riihimäki

Where would you like to build your own detached house? Riihimäki is active urban living close to nature, far from the hustle and bustle! Life is smooth in the city, which is located along good transport connections, less than an hour away from Helsinki and Tampere.

The city of Riihimäki sells plots of land by auction. The objects for sale can be plots that are difficult to build on, the construction of which will incur additional costs, or special objects that should be sold through an open tender. The auction gives the market price.

The city's objects to be auctioned can be found From Huutokaupat.com.

The city of Riihimäki has implemented an electronic service, with which it hands over plots electronically. The service enables electronic plot transactions and land lease agreements.

A traditional trade requires time from the seller, the buyer and the confirmation of the transaction. It is often challenging to coordinate times. With the land surveying institution's electronic real estate exchange service, you no longer have to make an appointment for the sale with the city's representative, but you can sign the deed of sale, for example, at home when it suits you. The service is available every day from 00.15:23.15 to XNUMX:XNUMX. Using the service and signing contracts requires strong identification, for example with a mobile certificate or bank credentials.

There is no longer a need for a sales confirmation. The traditional way will also remain in use alongside the new way. The plot customer has the opportunity to choose which method he wants to use. The choice is made after the plot is reserved, when the documents start to be drafted.

The plot is reserved either in the electronic service or with a plot application form available from the office. It is important that you fill in all the sections of the form. You do not need attachments to the plot application. You should check the reservation status of the plots before submitting an application for plot sales.

When new plots come up for application, their application times and procedure will be announced in a newspaper notice and on the city's website. Plots left vacant in the joint application and released from reservations will be transferred to the plot supply to be continuously searched for. The decision to grant a plot or plots is made by a plot expert. Information about the decision is sent by e-mail or post to the plot applicant.

When the plot application has come to the plot sale, the applied plots are locked to the applicant for a period of six weeks, after which the reservation fee must be paid to the city's bank account. The reservation fee is 1 euros/plot if the applicant chooses 000 months as the reservation period and 6 euros/plot if the applicant chooses 2 months as the reservation period. Reservation fees are refunded from the purchase price or the rent of the plot.

However, the reservation fee is not refunded if the plot applicant withdraws his application after paying the reservation fee.

The deed of sale or rental agreement must be signed either 6 or 12 months after the legality of the land transfer decision, depending on the reservation period.

Upon receipt of the application, land sales informs the applicant via a separate e-mail or letter about further measures, such as the due date of the reservation fee, the signing of the deed of sale or the lease agreement. You can choose whether you want to sign the deed of sale or the lease agreement electronically or as a paper version.

Riihimäki city account numbers for reservation payment:

The purchase price or the rent of the plot is invoiced after the sale or the signing of the lease agreement. You can pay the purchase price of the plot all at once, or alternatively, pay half of the purchase price at the time of the transaction and the rest during the next two calendar years. The interest on the unpaid purchase price is 6 percent. The rent for the plot is paid from the date of signing the lease until the end of the year, after which the city invoices the rent annually.

The buyer must apply for a land survey from the National Land Survey within six months from the date of the transaction. If you buy the plot electronically, the application is created automatically after signing, after which you can add the necessary documents as an attachment to the electronic service. The buyer pays the transfer tax (three percent of the purchase price) before applying for a loan offer.

The rental period of the rental plot is 50 years. The basic annual rent is 5 percent of the sale price of the plot. You can redeem the rental plot for the confirmed plot price when the construction obligation has been fulfilled (commissioning inspection done). The rent of the plot to be redeemed is invoiced until the signing date of the deed of sale.

Registering the right to lease and applying for a mortgage in favor of the city

The registration of the right to rent and the application for a mortgage is done in such a way that when signing the lease, the tenant also signs the registration and mortgage applications, which the city sends to the registration authority. Registration and mortgage application are at the tenant's expense. In an electronic land lease agreement, an application for mortgaging the lease right is created automatically when the parties have signed the agreement.

Deeds of sale and land lease agreements include a construction obligation.

Construction work must begin within one year of signing the deed of sale or lease, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the seller. Construction is considered to have begun when the building's footing has been poured or installed.

The right to redeem a leased plot arises when the construction obligation under the lease agreement has been fulfilled.

The building must be completed within three years of signing the deed of sale or lease. The building must cover at least 20% of the building right of the plot according to the local plan. The plot is considered completed when the building's commissioning inspection has been completed.

Upon written application, an extension of time for fulfilling the construction obligation for a maximum of two years may be granted by decision of the office holder. The application must state a justified reason for the delay and submit the necessary explanations (extension of the construction obligation). If the construction does not proceed within this extension, the Vitality Board may, at its discretion, grant a new extension.

1. An extension of the construction obligation period must be applied for with a written, free-form application addressed to the Riihimäki Land Use Area. The application must specify:
a. plot/area for which the construction obligation is being applied for extension;
b. the transfer agreement in which the construction obligation sought to be extended is set;
c. the applicant and the applicant's contact information. If the applicant is not the party to whom the plot was transferred from the city, an explanation must be provided as to how the plot came to be owned by the applicant;
d. how long the applicant believes the extension is necessary and a scheduled estimate or plans to demonstrate how the unrealized construction will be completed within the period of extension requested; and
e. justification for why an extension should be granted.

2. The application must be submitted to the City of Riihimäki no later than two months before the expiration of the current construction obligation, so that the city has sufficient time to process the extension application before the contractual obligation period expires and a contractual obligation to process contractual sanctions arises;

3. The City of Riihimäki will endeavour to remind the building contractor of the expiry of the construction obligation period by means of a written message. Nevertheless, the responsibility for monitoring the expiry of the construction obligation period lies with the contractor, and a possible lack of reminder is not a reason to disregard the construction obligation or the related contractual terms;

4. If the requested extension period, together with any previously granted extensions of the construction obligation period related to the same contractual obligation, does not exceed two years, the application will be decided by the land use engineer by official decision, following the principles stated herein. Otherwise, the application will be decided by the urban development board;

5. Granting an extension is not possible in a situation where the extension would only postpone the determination of the non-implementation of the construction by the amount of the extension granted. The applicant must present a scheduled estimate or plan for how the non-implemented construction will be implemented within the granted extension. The plan or estimate must sufficiently demonstrate that the implementation of the construction within the extension is likely;

6. The starting point should be that the contractual obligations must be met. Extending the construction obligation period is a deviation from the terms of the concluded contract and therefore sufficient justification must be provided for the extension. The arguments presented in the justification must be proven to be true – for example, if the applicant refers to a poor financial situation with regard to the commercial plot, the acute deterioration of the company's financial situation must be demonstrated by means of financial statements, sufficient accounting extracts or, for example, based on order books. The mere claim made about the financial effects is not sufficient grounds for granting an extension;

7. If an extension has already been granted to a contractual obligation once, and the transferee applies for a new extension on the grounds that construction is still ongoing, the application must provide justification and evidence that the new delay has occurred during the previously granted extension;

8. An extension may be granted to the construction obligation in the case of a natural person for reasons related to the finances, health or change in the life situation of the transferee or their family member, if it can be considered that adherence to the contractual obligation cannot be reasonably required.

In the case of a legal entity, the extension of the construction obligation may be based on temporary economic circumstances, a reason related to the health or life situation of a key person, or a significant change in the company's operating environment, if adherence to the contractual obligation cannot be reasonably demanded and extending the construction obligation does not endanger the interests of the city; and

9. If there is no basis for granting an extension, negotiations must be initiated between the transferee of the plot and the city, in which alternatives must be examined to avoid sanctions under the transfer agreement, for example in the form of repurchasing the plot or terminating the lease agreement. The goal of the City of Riihimäki is not to seek contractual sanctions – the goal is to implement construction in accordance with the plan. However, in such a situation, it must be noted that the city cannot assume responsibility for the costs that may arise from returning the plot to the city or restoring it to its original condition. In addition, if it is a matter of repurchasing a sold plot, the amount of the imputed rent for the period between the transfer and the repurchasing date must be deducted from the repurchasing price.

• In connection with the signing of the deed of sale, the buyer will have to pay the commission of the transaction confirmer or the fee for the electronic real estate exchange service.
• The city collects from the detached house lots it hands over the subdivision cost in accordance with the valid real estate delivery fee, which is billed separately.
• The recipient of the plot will be charged connection fees for connecting to the public water supply and sewerage network.
• The telephone and cable TV subscription agreement is concluded with Elisa Oyj, the subscription prices are specific to the property and apartment.
• The electricity connection agreement is concluded with Caruna Oy.

When the lease is transferred, the tenant must notify the city in writing of the change of tenant. The terms of the lease agreement generally state that the rent payment obligation does not end until the above notification has reached the city.

1. Written notification to the city
2. information about the transferor of the lease right and the new tenant, including their contact information and personal identification numbers, in the notification
3. Attach a copy of the document by which the transfer of the lease right was carried out
4. If the attachment does not indicate when the lease right is transferred, the city must be notified of the date of transfer. If the attachment does not indicate otherwise regarding the transfer of the lease right, the city will use the date of transfer of the lease right as the date of transfer of the rent payment obligation. If the city does not know the date of transfer of the lease right or any other agreed date of transfer of the rent payment obligation, it will invoice the current year's rent from the old tenant.
5. The city makes an official decision on the transfer of the lease right, which is communicated to both new and old tenants.
6. If the old tenant has already paid the rent for the current year, the city will refund the portion of the rent that, after the transfer of the rent payment obligation, falls within the scope of the new tenant's rent payment obligation. The city will need an account number for the refund.

In principle, the city of Riihimäki is always interested in acquiring land in its area, and the city's obligation is to buy public areas according to the site plan. In addition, we acquire land for, among other things, recreation areas and for the future development of the city. The city acquires areas for its ownership primarily through voluntary transactions.

Land acquisition consists of active and passive land acquisition. The annual active sites are defined in the land use implementation program. The Riihimäki city council decides on the program. Passive sites are recreation areas, general areas according to the site plan or areas that are not actively acquired.

The area of ​​responsibility for land use is responsible for the preparation of land acquisition. If you are selling land in Riihimäki, feel free to contact us.
