What's on the list

  • Check the BRF's (housing cooperative) annual report — look at debt per share (skuld per andel) — under 3,000 SEK/m² is healthy
  • Check the monthly avgift (fee) and what it covers
  • Commission a besiktning (inspection) — not legally required but strongly recommended
  • Review BRF's stadgar (bylaws) — check subletting rules before buying
  • Sign the contract (köpekontrakt) with 10% deposit
  • Pay the remaining 90% on tillträdesdagen (possession day)
  • Notify BRF of the ownership change within 30 days
  • Pantbrev (mortgage deed) must be registered with Lantmäteriet
  • Check renovation rules — some BRFs require approval for wet room changes
