Buying a farm – Farm financing as an enabler

Farms are usually bought with farm financing that is practically a secured corporate loan. Buying a farm is real estate sales. It can also be land sales, forest sales or field sales. Whether you’re buying a farm, forest, field or land, the farm transfer is usually concluded in writing with a deed of sale signed by both the buyer and seller and verified by a registered notary. The farm transfer can also be made digitally in the Property Transaction Service of the National Land Survey of Finland, like other real estate sales.

Buying a land, forest or field farm and its price depend on many factors. The price of the farm is calculated based on the different parts of the farm and keeping the market conditions and location in mind. Many farm complexes include livestock, forest and fields, and their value is relatively simple to calculate. The buildings on the farm, which are often from different times and in different conditions, make it more challenging to assess the value of a farm. If you are planning on selling a farm, you should use the help of OP Koti’s experts to calculate the value.
