Purchase of Cutting Rights

Every cutting rights purchase and sale process begins with an initial consultation, where we gain an understanding of your goals and the history of the property. It’s wise not to rush and take the time to clarify your expectations and objectives. It may turn out, for example, that instead of selling cutting rights, selling the entire forest property is a more sensible choice.​

During the consultation, we discuss how the forest has been managed so far and what your wishes and future plans are, so we can offer solutions that truly meet your needs. If needed, we will explain tax obligations (and potential tax reliefs) related to the sale of cutting rights.

After the consultation, we prepare an initial value assessment for you, based on the forest management plan and forest notification. The preliminary offer considers several factors, including the location of the forest, accessibility, wood quality, and market conditions.​

If our initial offer is within an acceptable range for you, our specialist will visit the property to assess the condition of the forest and prepare a final price offer that more accurately reflects the state of the forest and other factors influencing its valuation.​

Note: If you need assistance submitting the forest notice to the Environmental Board, we are always ready to help you with that.

If the price offer and agreed terms are acceptable to you, we will proceed to the contract signing. The contract specifies the exact volume and area of the logging operations, as well as agreements on payment terms and the timing of the logging activities. We handle all necessary documentation, which we send to you for review and confirmation, followed by the mutual signing of the contract at the agreed time.​

For logging operations, we use our fleet of machinery, which covers the entire territory of Estonia. If the location of the property has specific characteristics, we can involve partners as needed to ensure that the logging work is carried out in the most optimal way.​

After logging, we store the timber in the agreed area and arrange its transportation for further processing in sawmills or port terminals, where the wood is further refined. Low-value firewood is utilized for the production of wood chips and pellets. Thanks to long-term partnerships, we can ensure a competitive price for your timber.

After the completion of logging operations, we prepare a report on the work done and monitor the condition of the property to ensure the optimal state of the forest land. According to agreements set, we will perform smoothing of machinery tracks and roads used and establish drainage ditches to prevent the accumulation of excess surface water.​

Aftercare helps ensure that your forest regenerates and creates value for the future. If reforestation is agreed upon in the contract, we carry it out according to your wishes and best forestry practices.
