About this house

In Sillerud, Årjäng municipality in western Värmland, this red wooden house from 1890 stands on a 9,816 m² plot of natural, grown-in garden. It has 170 m² of living space plus 40 m² of secondary space, with 9 rooms and 5 to 6 bedrooms. There is a wood stove in the main room and another in the kitchen, and upstairs a large open room reaches all the way up to the ridge. A swimming spot with a jetty is not far from the house. The starting price is 975,000 SEK.

An older wooden house of this size should be inspected for insulation, heating and maintenance needs before bidding. The wood stoves help with heating costs, and the space suits a large family, a guest house or a second home near the Norwegian border.

Buying in Sweden: the sale is handled by a licensed estate agent rather than a notary, and offers are usually made in an open bidding process. The buyer pays stamp duty on the title (lagfart) and, with a new mortgage, a fee for mortgage deeds. Foreigners can buy freely, but Swedish banks are cautious with non-resident borrowers, so many foreign buyers arrange financing at home. A pre-purchase inspection is the buyer's own responsibility.
