The seller is unmarried:

No consent required, proceed to the next step.

The seller is married and the spouse / partner does not have legal title:

If the seller is married, in most cases a consent to the sale is needed from his or her spouse / partner. The consent can be written directly on the purchase document or on a separate piece of paper attached to the application.

If the property is the seller's private property, you can instead send a document that shows that consent is not needed, for example a copy of a gift certificate or will stating that the property is private property. A copy of the prenuptial agreement that makes the property private can be sent if the property is not a joint residence, then a written consent is required.

The seller is divorced and the ex-spouse does not have legal title:

If the seller is divorced, but has been married during the time he has owned the property, consent may still be required from his ex-spouse / partner. If the seller has been allocated the property by division of property due to divorce, a copy of the division of property document can be sent in instead.

A copy of the prenuptial agreement that makes the property private can be sent with, if the property is not / has been a joint residence, then a written consent is required. If the property is the seller's private property, you can instead send a document showing that consent is not needed, for example a copy of a gift certificate or a will stating that the property is private property.

Attach any consent or copy of, for example, a gift certificate, will, prenuptial agreement or deed of division to the application.

Proceed to the next step.

Yes, there are reservations on the property:

When there are reservations recorded in the property register, it may, for example, mean that the property may be transferred only with someone's consent. You need to find out what the reservation is and what is required to fulfill the reservation. It is possible to read in the document that the seller got legal registration.

Contact the property registration to find out more about the reservation. If the document is not available there, it can be ordered from www.riksarkivet.se (in swedish, opens in a new window). You need to state the property designation and file number for the seller's old legal registration matter in the order.

Attach any copy of the document describing the reservation to the application. If consent is required, this must also be attached.
