From the listing, not a register. The price check compares to the area index and ignores condition, floor or view. Estimate ≠ a deal.

Energy certificate

For apartment buildings the certificate usually covers the whole building (housing company). Check the official energy class for this address in the Varke register.

A specific apartment's price isn't available in open data — that needs a listing or appraisal. These are the micro-factors around the address by which the real price differs from the area average.

Renovations & risks
Plumbing renovation (putkiremontti)

Likely done or overdue · Typical window 1968–1988

Wet rooms (waterproofing)

Past typical service life

Built before 1994 — an asbestos survey is mandatory before renovation (≈ €30–80/m²)

Rough pipe-renovation estimate

≈ €1,000–1,700 / m²Open-data estimate, not a quote

Country rules

Legal requirements

  • Important — Sale and taking into use of asbestos-containing building materials was prohibited in Finland from 1 January 1994 (manufacture and import already from 1993). Buildings completed before 1994 may contain asbestos.

    The regulator warns that asbestos-containing material may still have been sold after the 1994 ban, so a hard cutoff carries residual risk on both sides.

    Valtioneuvoston päätös asbestin ja asbestipitoisen tuotteen valmistuksen, maahantuonnin, myymisen ja käyttöön ottamisen kieltämisestä annetun valtioneuvoston päätöksen muuttamisesta (1133/1993) Asbesti — Rakennusala

  • Check — STUK maintains a register of radon concentrations in dwellings, based on measurements by its radon laboratory. The radon concentration of an unmeasured dwelling cannot be inferred from statistics: measurement is the only way to establish it. Any area figure we show is context, not a property of this dwelling.

Our estimates

  • Check — Verify whether the plot is owned or leased, and if leased, the remaining term and rent.

  • Check — Request the housing company's financial statements.

  • Check — Request the building manager's certificate (isännöitsijäntodistus).

  • Check — Request the long-term maintenance plan (PTS).

  • Check — Request the minutes of the latest general meeting.

  • Check — Internal calibration: wet-room waterproofing is treated as reaching end of life at 20–25 years. The canonical Rakennustieto table is licensed and paywalled; the closest free figure is a secondary 'about 25 years', and the underlying table bands by construction type (12/15/20/30 years), not by a single range.

  • Check — Ask whether an asbestos survey exists and what it found.

  • Check — Ask for the apartment's share of the housing company's debt.

  • Check — Ask for the energy performance certificate: no class reached us from open data.

  • Check — Ask whether the pipe renovation has been done and what the plan is: our status is inferred from the year of construction, not from a record.

  • Check — Ask for the exact maintenance charge for this apartment.

  • Check — Ask when the wet rooms were last renovated: their age is not in open data, we infer it from the year of construction.

  • For reference — Internal policy: an upper noise band at or above 65 dB Lden is flagged.

  • For reference — Internal policy: annual price change between -2% and +2% is treated as stable.

  • For reference — Internal policy: gross rental yield between 3% and 4% is treated as acceptable.

  • For reference — Internal calibration: 30–80 EUR/m2 added to a renovation budget for asbestos survey and removal. Finnish safety law sets no tariff, and the Finnish market quotes surveys per property or per sample, not per square metre.

  • For reference — The pipe replacement window has passed: the work was either done or is overdue.

  • For reference — Internal calibration: for buildings of this era we quote 1000–1700 EUR/m2 for a pipe renovation. No public source bands this cost by construction era.

Ask the seller / building manager
