Buy property under 1mil kr?

Okey.
Maybe Brexit will stop me from moving to Sweden because Britain will no longer be a member of the EU.
Does this mean I need a job offer before moving here, after Brexit?

You'd get a temporary personnummer, to buy insurance etc.

Any member of the EU can live wherever they want for three months, after that you have to visit another country of the union, then your month's are 'reset'.
Since there is no record of travelling in/out, the 3 month rule is mostly for the looke.
How brexit will affect this i can not say, kf there are NO deals made at all you will most likely need a visa.
Im certain it won't go that far, and you should have nothing to fear... But of course wait and see how things pan out.

So in short, you can live here without a job AS OF NOW, as long as you can support yourself.


About your question,
Some houses are part of a community - most similar to an apartment complex but with housrs - the monthly fee you pay there is to the community management, who will use the money to manage certain things (roads, removing snow etc.), some will help you renovate.
This is "radhus" on hemnet.

Some houses are not - these are generally more expensive and further apart offering more privacy.
There are no monthly fees, other than taxes (paid yearly), water, waste, electricity is technically optional but you will have to pay for those, i wouldnt call it a fee per say.
You want one of these, look for "villa" on hemnet.
Note that some real estate agents will still put "radhus" in this category sometimes.


Apartments, you do not own the apartment - you own the right to rent it, if you for example wish to sell it, the management have to approve of the buyer.
This because you obviously cant sell "your" apartment to someone who will be unable to rent it by the management.
Pretty much same thing as the 1st one, just with apartments.
There are no apartments without a monthly fee(rent) .

If there is a no deal Brexit, does this mean I would need a VISA to travel here and a job offer to live here (to satisfy the immigration criteria)?

And would this also mean I couldn't buy a house, as I can now, before moving here officially?

You could technically buy a house, but to live here you'd have to have a visa, i.e with a job offer, yes

Owning a part of a property like a flat is very common in europe, but mostly unheard of in Sweden.
Since 2009 we have experimented with it in the form of "ägarlägenhet", it works like you own a property within a property and you usually still have to pay for maintanance of the common areas in the buildning (some have it where you pay with labour like mowing the lawn some weeks in the year, clearing snow in common area etc.). But within your part of the property you are the boss (and take care of all maintanance costs)". The rules are mostly like owning a house in Sweden and if you pay the bills its almost impossible to force you to sell the property.

Otherwise we use something called "bostadsrättsförening (BRF)" for apartments that are sold and not rented. This is a membership owned residents association where the association owns the property and takes care of the property through monthly membership fees. When you "buy" an apartment in a BRF you buy a membership % of the property with an associated apartment attached. You essencially buy the right to live there as long as the BRF owns the property. They usually follow a pretty standard ledger but if the members want to change something within the property they will have to vote for it. Every member have 1 vote. It has a board consisting of members and they get voted in. The members own the property together (but also the loans that the BRF have) and if missmanaged but the members it can go into bankruptcy and all members lose the right to live there (and the property will most likely be sold to the debters)

So the uppfront cost to "buy" the appartment are the market price for that perticular membership to live in that specific appartment. But you have to be approved by the board and apply for membership before the right to live there gets transfered to the new member. You can be denied (rare but happens). Once you are a member though its alot harder to get rid of you (but still possible so dont be a dick to others and pay the maintanance/membership fees). If you get kicked out of the association you still "own" your appartment, but they will force you to sell it on the market since only members have the right to live there and you lost that when kicked out.

Thats a rough description of how it works, there is of course alot more that can be said but should give some insight.

Location is key.
In my area, houses starting from 500.000, its rural, but i has all you need.
Groceryshops, Systembolaget, farmacy, train/bus station..

Except from pubs and jobs.. and women.

Yes, if you would like to live here permanent.

They will never completely leave the EU, but that is another discussion.

Why in earth would you like to move to Sweden for? And even buy a house? Are you really an Englishman?

The budget is ok to be honest. In which part of Sweden do you plan to buy property? What kind of property are you looking at? For example https://tranio.com/sweden/ a lot of properties for sale in Sweden in different parts. But you have to understand that houses in certain areas will cost more than apartments and vice versa.
