On the night of Thursday last week, there was a powerful explosion in the middle of a residential area in Hässelby. Joakim and Pär are two of those who were forced to leave their homes and say that they feel completely powerless.

"We just live here and want our homes back," says Joakim.

The terraced house was built in the 1970s, but when it is now to be renovated, it must be built to today's standards. Since the houses then become more modern and, according to the insurance companies, worth more, the residents themselves must bear part of the cost. In insurance terms, it is called an age deduction.

"You live in a vacuum, but there's always the question of the belongings," says Joakim.

What the sum will land on for this particular terraced house is still unclear, but it could be hundreds of thousands of kronor.

"It can't happen like this, and if it happens like this, we shouldn't have to fight like fools to get any kind of help," says Pär.
