A new-build flat (nyproduktion) is sold before or soon after it is built. The process is different from buying an older flat.
Fixed prices
New-build flats are often sold at a fixed price, without bidding. The developer sets the price per flat.
A long wait
You may sign an agreement long before the building is ready. In that time, the market can change. If prices fall, you may pay more than a similar older flat costs on move-in day.
A new association
The housing association is new. Its finances are a plan, not a history. Read the economic plan carefully: debt per square metre and the planned fee.
What you get
- A modern layout and a new kitchen and bathroom.
- Good energy use.
- No renovation in the near future.
Price per square metre
New-build flats often have a higher price per square metre than older flats in the same area. When the flat is sold again later, that difference can shrink.
In the game
If you see a newly built home, start from a higher price per square metre, then check the area.
