Which concrete should be used for overlaying?

Maybe a strong slab would help, but as mentioned, half the house is solid on rock while the other half floats on clay.

A (sufficiently) strong slab would certainly have worked better, but it feels a bit unrealistic when the house is already standing there.
If it's a long way to solid ground, I suppose piling is the obvious alternative.

At the same time, I have no intention of living here in this house

Yes, you keep coming back to that 🙄
But if that's the plan, I probably wouldn't put much effort into the floor either. If it doesn't solve any problems anyway. But a house with "impossible" settlement problems is likely hard to sell. I myself looked at such a property and quickly ran away without bidding a penny 🙄

I have to see it as my learning experience in real estate. Of course, the house can be saved, it's just not economically viable.

Yes, exactly. If you manage your money wisely and do it right from the start, it can probably be done for a very reasonable amount in the context. The thing that lowers the value is the uncertainty factor, especially when repeated and unsuccessful attempts have already been made.

Exactly. If you turn things around and do it right from the start, it can certainly be done for a highly reasonable amount in this context. What decreases the value is the factor of uncertainty, especially when repeated and unsuccessful attempts have already been made.

Exactly, I don't want the cost of learning to become larger. My mistake was ignorance and trusting "professional" actors. I have contacted the settling company, they have a 2-year guarantee, so unfortunately, they have to come here again. They certainly haven't made any money off me either; the house is a loss for everyone involved 😅 there might be imbalances between the walls that could be fixed a bit more without damaging the drainage or sewage. We'll see; if something drastic happens, it will be an apartment rental until we find something we actually want. Maybe the insurance will give some thousand kronor too 🙃 As long as it's not dangerous for my family, I don't care about the house.
