Transferring of a leasehold

To transfer a leasehold, you need:

• Copy of the deed of sale (sales contract) or a scanned version of the deed.
• If the transaction has been made in the National Land Survey’s Property Transaction Service, please also include an attachment which indicates the date of the transfer of the right of possession, or when the obligation to pay rent on the plot is transferred to the buyer.

Send the deed by email:

• scan the deed
• attach it as an email attachment
• the e-mail’s title should be: “Vuokraoikeuden siirto”
• send the e-mail to kiinteisto.mittaus@porvoo.fi

or as a paper copy:

• copy the deed
• bring the deed to the Porvoo Info in an envelope with ‘Maan hankinta ja luovutus’ written on it; or
• send the envelope by post to:, Porvoon kaupunki, Maan hankinta ja luovutus, PL 23, 06101 Porvoo.

In addition to the city of Porvoo, you must notify the National Land Survey of Finland of the transferring of a leasehold. More on this on the National Land Survey website.
