GENERAL INFORMATION:
The information provided in the property description, prospectus, and other informational materials is mainly based on information provided by the seller. Some essential information is also obtained from the land registry. This information is only verified by the real estate agent if circumstances warrant it. Buyers/ prospective buyers are encouraged to verify this information as well as any other information relevant to the purchase of the property.

INSPECTION OBLIGATION, ETC:
Basis for the allocation of responsibility;
According to the Swedish Land Code, the property should correspond to what has been agreed upon between the parties and should not deviate from what the buyer could reasonably expect at the time of purchase. Furthermore, it is purchased in the condition it is in on the contractual date, and the buyer, in order to protect themselves, should conduct a thorough inspection of the property. The seller is not responsible for any defects or damages that the buyer could have discovered or anticipated due to the age and condition of the property. However, the seller is responsible for hidden defects, meaning defects in the property that the buyer could not have discovered, regardless of whether the seller was aware of the defects. The seller's liability for hidden defects in the property is valid for 10 years.

Buyer's inspection obligation:
The buyer must inspect the property thoroughly, a duty commonly referred to as the buyer's inspection obligation. The requirements for the buyer's inspection are extensive. The property should be inspected in all its parts and functions. If possible, the buyer should also inspect attic spaces, crawl spaces, and other difficult-to-access areas. Special attention should be given to moisture damage (especially in the basement and attic), rot damage, damage to water and sewage systems, cracks in the facade and foundation, and chimney stacks. If the buyer discovers any defects or signs of defects during their inspection, or if the property is in such a condition that defects are suspected, the requirements for the buyer's inspection obligation increase.

Engaging a building inspector:
The Land Code assumes that the buyer should be able to fulfill their basic inspection duty themselves, so there is no requirement to engage an expert for this purpose. However, most buyers choose to hire a building inspector or another expert, especially if they do not have specific building technical knowledge. The same applies if the buyer has initially inspected the property themselves and discovered signs of defects that may be difficult to assess. If the buyer engages an expert, it is important to note the extent of the inspection ordered. Normally, such an inspection does not cover certain parts of the property, such as electrical installations, water and sewage systems, chimney flues, etc., so the buyer should consider supplementing their inspection.

Seller's duty to provide information:
There is no general duty equivalent to the buyer's inspection obligation. The key factor in determining whether an actual defect is relevant is if the defect is discoverable by the buyer. Only if the defect is not discoverable is it considered relevant. Despite this, the seller may still have a duty to provide information, as they may be liable for compensation if they knew or should have known about the defect but did not inform the buyer. If the seller's silence about a defect involves fraudulent or dishonest behavior, the seller may lose the right to claim that the buyer did not fulfill their inspection obligation. Therefore, it is in the seller's best interest to inform the buyer of any defects or signs of defects they know about or suspect. What the seller discloses is not considered hidden and cannot normally be used by the buyer.

Seller's representations:
The seller may be bound by a representation regarding the condition of the property, especially if the seller has made a clear and s
