Reserving a single-family home plot
Marketing the new plots will be launched with a tendering process intended for private individuals. It is possible to buy the plots, and often renting is also an option. After the tendering process, the plots that are still free are available for continuous application process. The plot applications for the next reservation process must be delivered to the technical centre by 4 pm on a Monday of the week preceding the technical committee’s meeting at the latest. If there are several applications for one plot, the person reserving the plot will be decided randomly by a draw. After two rounds of offers, the single-family home plots can also be given to companies. In plot reservations, private applicants will be prioritised over business applicants.
Reservation fee
After the committee has made a reservation decision, the applicant must pay a reservation fee (2.5% of the total sale price) within a period of about one month. If the final transaction or rental agreement will be made within the reservation period, this reservation fee will be paid back. For plots where construction can be started right away, the reservation period is about three months. For other plots, the reservation period continues until municipal utilities have been provided. If the reservation does not lead to a final agreement, the reservation fee will not be returned.
Three years of construction time
The terms of the transaction or the rental agreement follow the city’s usual models. The deadline for constructing a habitable house is three years from the moment of transaction, or from the start of the rental agreement, or from the moment construction is possible on the plot.
