Apartment for Sale in Stockholm

We developed this blog in the past to help people who moved to Stockholm to deal with various challenges like education, healthcare, renting a house, finding a job in Sweden, driving license, farming in Stockholm, Asian groceries etc.
This time, we are trying completely a new approach to sell our apartment as we are moving out soon. Going away from traditional way of selling through agent / Hemnet. 

Here are the pictures, followed by more details. Please read and share as applicable.
Thanks for your support.

We lived here for last 6 years, made many memories. Apartment is modern and well thought floor plan.
It's a 2 bed room apartment, with open kitchen connected to living room and a shower room with WC, Washing machine and dryer. 

It's very close to public transport, just behind a bus stop and 5 minutes walk to metro.
Well connected to Kista, Barkarby, Sollentuna and Helenlund. Can reach to central Stockholm in 22 minutes.

BRF KOTKAGATAN

Avgift: 4044 ( Includes Water, Central Heating, Hot Water, Common Laundry, Garbage collection, Cycle room and a Storage room)

Sale Price: 2,295,000 SEK

Purpose of sale without agent: 
We have faced many challenges with different agencies while buying our next apartment. For e.g. issues like not being transparent, hidden bidding, incorrect pricing etc. Hence, we thought that we should try selling our current apartment on our own so that we can give right information to the buyer.
If all goes well, it may inspire others to follow the path.

We know it's a little bold step but we wanted to try this option and give a try and challenge the existing agent set-up.

Click to call us to discuss, if any queries .

We have bank approval for both old and new apartments. Hence, we are not in hurry and try the different options.

What happens next? If  you like our house and agree on purchase price, get the property papers verified by bank, then we can get the paper work done by an agency proposed by buyer else we can suggest an agent and take it forward.

Car Rentals in Stockholm, Sweden

Recently, I have sold my car and bought another car after 4 months. During these 4 months, I had to rent a car for trips and local visits. I have come across various sites, hence compiled the list here. Click on the company name to navigate to respective website.

Snappcar - Similar to Airbnb sharing apartments/houses, Snappcar is to rent personal cars when they are not used by owners. I found it very convenient. Try to choose based on the area you live so that it is easy to pick up the car and drop once used. 
Mobile app is really good and handy. Prices were affordable.

GoMore - Similar to Snappcar but found it was little expensive comparatively, similar features.

Hertz - It is very popular choise among Europe countries and has wide variety options, has around 23 locations within Stockholm for pick up and drop of rental cars. Best option I found was unlimited kms.

Sixt - Similar to Hertz, Sixt offers the car for rental across Europe.

Europcar - I have not used their services but seem to be good and as name says, their services are available across Europe.

KINTO Share - If you are looking Toyota or Lexus brand cars to hire, you can look for them here.

M (Volvo Cars) - If you are looking for Volvo cars to hire, you can find them here. 

Circle K - Affordable, easily bookable in person but difficult to find them available during peek periods

OKQ8 - Similar to Cirkle K, OKQ8 also offers affordable rental cars, bookable online as well.

Aimo Share -  Stockholm's first electric car share, has numerous pricing options to choose. 

Kayak - Kayak offers car rental, flights and hotel booking as well. Sometimes there are very good discounts and they search cars across providers such as Hertiz, Sixt etc. I found it was very useful.

Ensure to check following before you book

1. Engine Transmission - Manual / Automatic
2. Fuel 
3. Insurance
4. Rent per day (some providers charge per hour)
5. Kilometer or Miles allowed free and additional charges for extra kms
6. Cancellation Policy
7. Check Car allowed to drive outside country (if you plan to go abroad).
8. Cleaning conditions
9. Take pictures before and after use
10. Provide right identity details so that no hassle with automatic machines that give car keys at kiosks

HAPPY DRIVING

Feel free to share the constructive feedback and let us know, if we miss any other car rental providers.
