≈ +1.7% over the price. Lagfort — the title registration — costs 1.5% of price (1.5% apartments, 4.25% for organizations) plus a small fee. Agents (mäklare) are seller-paid and licensed. The purchase contract at the mäklare’s office binds; closing runs through the bank weeks later. First-home savers use ISK accounts; there is no transfer-tax relief.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposits run one to three months (deposition).
  • Leases commonly run open-ended (tillsvidare) with 3-month notice.
  • Second-hand rentals (andrahandsuthyrning) need the landlord’s written consent — the queue system governs first-hand.

Stockholm prices off HQ wages and an island topology; Gothenburg and Malmö follow at a discount.

The bostadsrätt is a share in a housing association, not a traditional condo. You buy the right to occupy a specific unit, and the association manages the building. Stamp duty is 1.25% for legal entities; individuals pay none.

Stockholm is expensive; a 10+ year housing queue is normal. Södermalm and Vasastan are popular. The system is unique globally.
