Good to Know

Purchasing a plot requires careful planning. Here is a list of considerations that might be helpful to review.

Additional Costs

In addition to the plot price, there are other costs involved. Investigate what additional fees are associated with purchasing a plot and building a house.

Examples of additional costs include:

• Building permit fees (approximately 30,000 SEK)
• Connection fees for water and sewage (approximately 170,000 SEK)
• Electricity (approximately 40,000 SEK)
• Fiber (approximately 30,000 SEK)

Note: Connection fees for water and sewage must be paid on the date of access.

Further fees such as property tax and registration fee may also apply.

The largest cost associated with purchasing a plot is the construction of the house.

Building Requirements

When purchasing a plot, you commit to constructing a permanent residence on it.

A permanent residence is defined as a fixed house built to normal Swedish standards that can be inhabited year-round. Therefore, you cannot only build a small accessory dwelling unit, tiny house, or similar structure.

The house must be completed within 24 months from the date of access. If the construction is not finished within this period, the buyer will be required to pay an additional purchase price of 100,000 SEK (a form of penalty).

The municipality has the right to reclaim the plot if the construction is not completed within the specified timeframe.

The plot may not be resold before the construction of the permanent residence is completed.

Building Regulations and Process

There are regulations for construction in Sweden. You can read about these regulations on the Swedish National Board of Housing's website.

The detailed development plan for each area dictates what can be built on the plot. You can find the detailed plan for each plot further down the page. It is advisable to consult an architect or house supplier for assistance with design, cost estimation, and construction.

In addition to what is regulated by the detailed plan, there are no specific requirements regarding the size of the permanent residence. However, there are requirements for various functions that must be present for it to be classified as a permanent residence. Read more about this on the Swedish National Board of Housing's website (in Swedish).

You must apply for a building permit to construct a house. You can read more about the building permit process here (in Swedish).

Financing

Before purchasing a plot, you need to secure financing for the plot, associated fees, and the upcoming house construction. If financing is through a bank loan, contact your bank well in advance of the plot purchase.

You will need a Swedish bank account to pay for the plot and complete the purchase. The bank account must be with one of the banks authorized by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority to conduct banking operations. More information about Swedish bank accounts can be found at the Swedish Bankers' Association.

Sales Process

If you want to buy a plot, you must register your interest for the specific plot.. You will find links to the interest registration for each plot below.

When you have made a declaration of interest and meet the criteria set to participate in the bidding, you will be contacted for further instructions.

If there are multiple interested parties for a single plot, bidding will be applied.
