On these pages you can find information, for example, about the annual detached house plot application for self-build projects, buying a rental plot, and expiring and renewable contract of lease.
The new tenant must notify the City of Espoo without delay of the transfer (sale, gift, inheritance, etc.) once the leasehold rights to the plot have been assigned to them. The notification may be informal, but it should preferably include the date on which the liability for rent payments transfers, which is recommended to be agreed upon in connection with the transaction. The notification, together with the deed of transfer (sale, gift, inheritance, etc.), must be sent by email to tonttiyksikko@espoo.fi
If the parties are preparing a new joint ownership agreement for a leased plot, they will need the consent of the pledge holder (the City) in order to register the joint ownership agreement and to divide the City’s mortgage. Please contact the Plot Unit well in advance before the new joint ownership agreement is signed. More information on joint ownership agreements is available on the website of the National Land Survey of Finland: Registering a joint ownership agreement | National Land Survey of Finland(external link, opens in a new window)
