The buyers chose to report the broker to the Property Inspectorate (FMI) after they, only after access, received information that large stocks of park slides are growing on the property.

The buyers believe that it would cost over half a million kronor to dig away the plant from the plot.

The buyer reported

“If the plant has time to get into the building, the cost of decontamination and repair can be even greater.

The value of the property can fall a lot if the presence of the park slide becomes known ", the buyers write in their report to FMI.

Despite information, no buyers were notified

The broker, who operates at one of the larger brokerage firms, is said to have been asked by other speculators to inform potential buyers about the plant on the plot.

The broker herself says that she did not know which plants were on the plot.

FMI's disciplinary committee states, however, that the broker received the email about park slide six days before the contract was signed, and that the broker should have passed the information on to the buyers.

Therefore, she is given a warning for having breached her duty to provide advice and information.

- Cases like this occur from time to time, it is not very unusual.

There are other areas that we receive more complaints from, for example, the bidding part, says Elin Häggeborn, lawyer at the Real Estate Inspectorate.
