In the courtyard at Mariedal in Umeå there are a total of four buildings, two ordinary two-storey houses and two Attefallshus.

- There are two in this association. I sold the other one a year ago, says broker Jenny Bodmark.

Few have built

Interest in building Attefall housing, or so-called complementary housing, has been extremely low in the county, despite the fact that no building permit is needed. Many have built, for example, storage rooms, guesthouses and garages, but few have independent housing.

In Umeå, only nine applications have been filed with the building committee to build Attefall housing since they were allowed in 2014.

The house on Mariedal was built in 2017. The ad has been out for a few weeks but the house has not yet been sold.
