HOW TO SEARCH FOR AND BUY A HOME IN SWEDEN

1. UNDERSTAND THE BASICS

In Sweden, the most common property types are houses (you own the building and land) and co-op apartments (bostadsrätt), where you buy the right to live in an apartment within a housing association.

2. SEARCH FOR HOMES ON HEMNET

Homes are advertised on Hemnet with detailed listings, photos, floor plans, and pricing. You can search by location, price, size, features and key words.

3. VIEWINGS

Most homes are shown at open viewings, where multiple buyers visit at the same time. Digital viewings are sometimes available.

4. FINANCING

You usually need a mortgage from a bank. In Sweden, you can typically borrow up to 85% of the property’s value (changing to 90% during 2026), and many buyers secure a loan commitment before bidding.

5. BIDDING

Bidding usually starts after viewings and is handled by the real estate agent. Bids are not legally binding until a contract is signed.

6. BUYER RESPONSIBILITY

As a buyer, you are responsible for inspecting the property and understanding costs such as fees, maintenance, and running expenses.

7. CONTRACT AND COMPLETION

Once an offer is accepted, a purchase contract is signed, a deposit is paid, and the remaining amount is settled on the move-in date when you receive the keys.
