The economic guru wrote that the stamp duty on property purchases was high and questioned why it should increase with the value of the property when, according to him, the administration should not become more expensive. He stated that the property registration fee cost 1.5 percent of the purchase price and that new mortgage deeds incurred an additional 2 percent of the mortgage amount. In the case of a house purchase for 6 million kronor, the registration fee would, according to his calculations, cost 90,000 kronor. New mortgage deeds for 2 million kronor would add 40,000 kronor, resulting in a total stamp duty of 130,000 kronor, in addition to other costs. The economic guru instead suggested a fixed fee of at most 1,000 to 5,000 kronor and wrote that AI should be able to manage the registration of ownership changes and new mortgages at a low cost. #Fastighetsköp #Stämpelskatt #Bostad (translated)

Christian Sandström wrote that Stegra's half-year report to the Energy Agency for January–June 2026 described delays and financing problems, and that an appendix stated that construction production had progressed more slowly than planned, the timeline was being reviewed, and new funding would cover higher project costs. At the same time, the company stated, according to Sandström, that financing was secured and responded yes to the question of whether the project was proceeding as planned. Sandström stated that the report was dated September 2 and that less than a month later, headlines once again reported that Stegra needed to raise at least ten billion kronor more. He suggested that those who relied on the company's communications had only themselves to blame and referred to AFV Magasin for more information. https://t.co/ouqqVBnFM4 #Stegra #kostnader #finansiering (translated)
