  • The running costs are not in the total until you enter them: power, heating, water and sewerage, waste and insurance are in the agent's description.
  • The running costs must be in the agent's property description, and the agent must offer you a written housing-cost calculation (Estate Agents Act ch. 3 ss. 14 and 16).
  • The property fee for 2026: 0.75 % of the assessed value, at most SEK 10,425 per residential building (SEK 10,074 for 2025). Whoever owns the house on 1 January pays for the whole year.
  • The interest deduction (30 % of interest, 21 % above SEK 100,000 a year) is a tax reduction: it counts against your tax and needs enough tax to reduce (Income Tax Act ch. 67 s. 10).
