Sample Cottage File photographed in a Finnish cabin at dusk

How it works

Four steps. One URL. No meeting.

01
Send a listing
Oikotie, Etuovi, or a private URL. Citizenship and whether you want summer or January.
02
We take it — or we don’t
A ten-minute look. If the advert is not serious, no invoice. If it is, a booking payment.
03
Desk due diligence
Finnish text, registers, plan, town, shops, access. Seven business days after the property ID exists.
04
Unlock the PDF
The File is ready. Balance is paid. Then — and only then — the verdict leaves the building.

Who is FinnCabin

A Finnish desk. Not a person in your inbox.

FinnCabin reads the listing, the maps, and the registers in Finnish. You get an English file with a verdict. There is no founder call, no WhatsApp, no tour of the jetty. The brand does the work. If the File says walk away, that is the work finishing — not a conversation.

A sample File

What €490 looks like on paper

Composite File — invented cottage, North Savo pattern. Not a live advert. Six pages, same spine as a paid File. Set the buyer, then turn pages.

Dotted Finnish — tap like a clause. English opens on that word only.

Walk away. Do not book the flight.

You asked for winter. The last 180 m is a summer track. There is no plough minute. The tank has no paper. This is not a first home and not a January cottage.

Direct land, 4,180 m², own lake shore. Main house ~48 m² (1978, surfaces 2019, condition “satisfactory”). Sauna ~12 m². Dug well. Concrete septic, year unknown. Summer use unless you rebuild the last 180 m of track.

01
A verdict
Proceed, conditions, or walk away — page one, for whoever else is paying.
02
This listing, decoded
What the Finnish is doing. Land or shares. Building right versus what is already there.
03
Where it actually is
Town, language, airport, the last road, the shop, the ice.
04
The money
This asking price through the calculator, year one, and the extras the listing implies.
05
Desk due diligence
Title, plan, shore, flood, permit for this passport. Extracts included once the ID exists.
06
The path and the email
Weeks to keys, who to hire as roles, and a letter to the agent.

Not a site visit, survey, bid, or lawyer. Not a second listing. The calculator stays free. This is for when you already have a URL and need to know whether to book the flight.
