  • How do I apply for the registration of a pledge?

    The registration of a pledge can only be applied for by the pledgee, for example, a bank. The pledge is applied for using a form (in Finnish). 

    Registering a pledge in the Residential and Commercial Property Information System requires the shareholder to have an electronic registration of ownership.

  • What kind of pledges can I apply for?

    The pledgee (for example, a bank) can apply for a pledge either for the entire value of the share or in euros, limited to the desired amount. A fixed-term pledge is also possible.

  • How is the pledge registered when my share certificate is held by a bank as collateral for a loan?

  • Can I use my apartment as collateral for a loan in several different banks?

    It is possible to register several pledges and proportional pledges for the apartment. This means the apartment can be pledged to several different banks.

  • The printout of owner apartments shows a “Notification by the custodian of safekeeping documents” restriction for the apartment. What does this mean?

    The purpose of the restriction is to provide information about the housing company’s ongoing RS procedure and prevent the registration of entries and restrictions other than those from the custodian of safekeeping documents. The RS procedure is a security system in accordance with the Housing Transactions Act for the buyer of a new property that is still under construction. 

    In the RS procedure, the custodian of safekeeping documents (a bank or the Regional State Agency) notifies the new owners of the shares, as well as pledges and possible restrictions, for registration in the Residential and Commercial Property Information System.

  • What is the Residential and Commercial Property Information System?

    The Residential and Commercial Property Information System is home to information about ownership, pledges and restrictions of housing companies – for example, their apartments and parking spaces. 

    There are around 90,000 housing companies and 1.5 million apartments in Finland, and information about them all will be saved in the Residential and Commercial Property Information System. At the same time, the paper share certificates of owner apartments will be replaced by electronic registrations of ownership.
