GENERAL INFORMATION:
The information provided in the property description, prospectus, and other informational material 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 require it. Buyers/prospectors are encouraged to verify this information and other factors that are significant for the purchase of the property.

DUTY TO INSPECT, ETC:
Starting point for the division of responsibility;
The starting point according to the Swedish Land Code is that the property should correspond to what has been agreed between the parties and should not deviate from what the buyer could reasonably expect at the time of purchase. In addition, it is important that the property is bought in the condition it is in on the date of the contract and that the buyer, to ensure their safety, conducts a thorough inspection of the property. Sellers are not responsible for errors or damage that the buyer could have discovered or anticipated due to the age and condition of the property. However, sellers are responsible for hidden defects, i.e., defects in the property that the buyer could not have discovered, regardless of whether the seller was aware of the defects or not. The seller's liability for hidden defects in the property lasts for 10 years.

Buyer's duty to inspect:
The starting point is that the buyer must inspect the property, which is known as the buyer's duty to inspect. 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 paid 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 errors or signs of errors during their inspection, or if the property is in a condition that may suggest errors, the requirements for the buyer's duty to inspect are heightened.

Engagement of a building inspector:
The Swedish Land Code assumes that the buyer can fulfill their basic duty to inspect on their own in normal circumstances, so it is not a requirement to hire an expert for this purpose. However, most buyers choose to hire a building inspector or other expert, especially if they do not have specific building technical knowledge. The same applies if the buyer initially inspects the property themselves and discovers symptoms of errors that are difficult to assess. As mentioned earlier, the buyer should inspect the property in all its parts and functions. Therefore, if the buyer engages an expert, it is important to consider the extent of the inspection. Normally, such an inspection does not cover certain parts of the property such as electrical installations, water and sewage systems, flue pipes, etc., so the buyer should consider supplementing their inspection.

Seller's duty to provide information:
There is no general duty for the seller to provide information corresponding to the buyer's duty to inspect. The key factor in determining whether an actual error is relevant or not is whether the error could have been discovered by the buyer. Only if the error is not detectable is it relevant. Nevertheless, the seller may have a duty to provide information in the sense that they may be liable for compensation if they actually knew or should have known about the error but did not inform the buyer. If the concealment of an error involves deceitful or dishonest behavior, the seller may lose the right to claim that the buyer did not fulfill their duty to inspect.

Seller's statements:
The seller may be bound by a statement regarding the condition of the property. This mainly applies when the seller has made a clear and specific statement about the condition of the property. General praisi
