To value your forest or timber

Miško draugas is one of the fastest-growing companies. At the annual “Gazelle” awards organised by the business daily Verslo žinios, we were among the profitable, transparent and publicly accountable companies competing. Over 2,600 businesses took part, and we can proudly claim an honourable 7th place. This has committed us even more to achieving better results in our services.

Over these years we have expanded the forest area under our management to more than 3,500 ha. Thanks to steady and consistent growth, we buy forest from private individuals and companies at the best prices. Many companies buy forest, but only a few do so for their own operations.

If you have decided to sell your forest, forest with land or simply timber, Miško draugas is the most reliable partner for getting the best price on the market. Many advertise that they buy forest, but we are a forest management company buying forest directly for our own operations, not for resale. By selling your forest to UAB „Miško draugas“ you sell not only at the highest price but also quickly. We will also help you sort out all the paperwork related to the sale. Once we shake hands, we pay immediately, in the way that suits you best.

Before selling

What you need to know if you want to sell forest

Three things that most often cost owners money or time.

Contract and taxes

Looking for the best price, quite a few forest owners are tempted by offers from illegally operating “logging companies” that offer a few euros more per hectare than legally and transparently operating companies. Every legally operating company will always sign a contract before taking any action, stating all company details, the method and timing of payment.

When selling standing timber, the company will withhold the taxes due to the state from your payment – so when signing the contract it is worth asking whether the stated sum is what you will actually receive or whether taxes will still be deducted from it. A tax liability can also arise when selling forest with land if you have owned it for less than 3 years.

Co-owners and the 5 ha limit

Very often only one of the owners wants to sell – and the problem of dividing the forest arises. Lithuanian law does not allow a forest holding to be divided into parts smaller than 5 ha. You will therefore first have to offer your share to the other co-owners and, if they decline, look for other buyers.

If the co-owners do not wish to acquire your share, a procedure for the use of the plot may have to be established. This is done by a surveyor of the locality where the forest holding is situated, and the procedure is registered with the Centre of Registers. Several co-owners can then use the forest, but a forest management plan, if needed, is prepared for the entire holding with the consent of all owners.

Is the buyer reliable?

To check whether the chosen company is reliable, consult organisations representing and defending the interests of forest owners, such as the Lithuanian Forest Owners Association.

Before taking any action we always sign a contract with all company details, payment methods and deadlines – like every legally operating company.
