Today a great lot of people have the desire to buy real estate in Finland. No doubt, such intentions can be put to the low level of delinquency, high living standards, developed economy and other positive factors, to say nothing about the prices for the real estate. The prices for real estate are quite democratic especially in the East and South of Finland. If to compare the cost of sq.m in Finland to the one in any other country of the European Union, the comparison is sure to be in favor of Finland.
If you decide to buy real estate in Finland, you will be offered both small cottages and luxurious flats. The choice is sure to be really big. Moreover, any compartment together with the Finnish lakes and nature becomes a dream made true.
To encourage foreigners to buy real estate in Finland, the government of the country tries to make the procedure as easy as possible. So there are no any restrictions that prevent a foreigner from buying real estate in Finland. A foreigner is equal in rights for buying a flat, house or any other real estate with a citizen of Finland.
Nevertheless, after buying the real estate one should keep in mind a number of nuances. If you bought a cottage you are going to have rest in, you will have to get a permit from the Environmental centre. If you decided to buy an undeveloped land, you will have to get a permit from the local authorities.
Non-residents, who want to buy real estate in Finland for the full-time residence, won’t have to get any permits. They are also government tax (4% from the price of the real estate) exempt.
