EmpowerHUB invites Ukrainians with temporary protection to an online lecture: "Buying a Flat or House in Sweden: What You Need to Know."

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you can make in a new country. The Swedish housing system has its own rules and specificities, understanding them can help you avoid costly mistakes.

We will cover: the different types of housing in Sweden (bostadsrätt, ägarlägenhet, house) and how they differ; how to obtain a lånelöfte (mortgage pre-approval) and what banks consider for newcomers; what bolånetak and kontantinsats mean; what to check in a förening before buying; how budgivning (bidding) and contract signing work; what undersökningsplikt (buyer's inspection obligation) means; and what additional costs to expect after purchase.

The lecture is for informational purposes only and does not constitute individual financial or legal advice. There will be an opportunity to ask  questions at the end.
