One in three Finns open to cash-in-hand renovations, survey finds

A significant number of Finnish homeowners are willing to bypass legal payment practices when hiring friends for home renovations, according to a new survey commissioned by Stark Finland. The survey, part of Stark’s annual Finns Renovate and Build report, found that 35% of respondents either support or are willing to pay for renovation work in cash without a receipt — provided the work is done by someone they know.
