Purchasing Real Estate in Sweden - The parties involved in a Swedish real estate transaction - Building Inspector

As I will explain in a future post, the buyer of Swedish real estate has a far-reaching obligation to ensure that the property he or she is going to purchase does not contain any defects.

It is thus advisable for the buyer to engage a building inspector to carry out a thorough inspection of the property; preferably before signing the purchase contract. However, with appropriate language, the inspection can be made afterwards if the purchase has been made conditional upon an agreed outcome of the inspection.
