What to do
- Send 10 questions to the broker.
- How will the 2027 pipe replacement be paid for: new loans, a higher fee, or a one-off levy on the owners?
- Why does the listing show the fee from before the increase decided in November?
- What interest rate does the board expect when the loans reprice in June 2026?
- What did the investigation of the damp under stairwell B find?
- Is there a new tenant for the shop after September 2026?
- What has the facade dispute cost so far, and what could it still cost?
- When was radon last measured, and what was the reading?
- Why does the listing say the pipes are replaced when they are not?
- Has the board planned further fee increases for 2027?
- Why were 14 flats in the building sold in 2025?
- Check 6 things at the viewing.
- The basement: go down stairwell B. Smell for damp and look for white salt marks on the walls.
- The pipes: open the cupboard under the kitchen sink. Old cast-iron pipes are grey and rusty at the joints.
- The bathroom: look for cracked grout and stains around the floor drain.
- The facade: look for cracks around the windows. That is what the dispute is about.
- The windows: feel for draughts. Energy class F shows up on the heating bill.
- The neighbours: ask someone on the stairs what they think of the fee rise and the pipe work.
- Settle your walk-away number, 3 110 000 kr, before the bidding. Do not go over.
