The estate inspection scheme is a voluntary scheme for private consumers buying and selling housing for personal use (single-family houses and owner-occupied flats). Its purpose is to minimize disputes concerning real estate. When using the scheme the seller avoids being liable for physical defects or hidden damages with the estate. Otherwise the seller would be responsible for the next 10 years for any physical defects or hidden damages that were present at the time of the sale.
The requirements for falling within the scheme are:
An inspection of the buildings
An inspection of the electrical installations
An offer for an insurance covering transfer of ownership
The inspection of the buildings is carried out by appointed building experts. The inspection itself is reported in a central it-system on a common form in order to create uniformity across the different inspections.
