Hi,

I bought a tomt. And I need a cheap, temporary residence to live on my land in before I build my main family home. This is an idea of how to do it. Please tell me if it will work / fail .... Thanks a tonne.

..........................................................................

Can I pay and get permission to build a temporary house on my land, it would be considered the "main house" and not an atterfallshus, but it would be only 25m2.

Then, later on, I could remove the 25m2 house from the property and apply for permission to build a new "main house" this time it would be a 130m2 family home.

Then, once the family home is finished, I could apply to build an atterfallshus. After I get permission, I could put the small 25m2 house back onto my land.

Will this work, or is there a better way of doing this? Thanks all!
 
You'll need a building permit for the small house to. To avoid it you could use a caravan or a house on wheel, not so sexy but it'll do the work.
 
I can't live in a caravan because the neighbors will complain.

It is okay if I need to get a permit for the small house, I am happy to pay for the permit. What I need to know is whether or not I can build a new (big) "main house" on the land after I have built the little house. And what is involved in this process... i.e. will I have to tear down (or remove) the little house before applying for a permit to build the big house?

Thanks a tonne! :D
 
Well, The neighbors can complain but you have the right to live temporary in it. If you decide to build a smaller house at first you will maybe be forced to follow the same rules as the permit for a larger house and the total size of these two can not be larger than the regulations in the detaljplan, if its in a planned area.

Or... you could build a small house (with permit) and then extend the small house to a family size.
When this process is done you can build a new small house 25m2 as Attefallshus.

You would need to know the layout off the bigger house when you plan the first small but you seems to already know that it will be 135m2 so you probably have an idea about how it will be designed as well, or?

Thanks a tonne,

This is good advice. My plan is to get a full building permit for an atterfalls style house that you drive in by truck and drop onto the property with a crane. Bolt it down, plug it into the street sweage and elec and live there or rent it out.

Then when I have enough money for the big house, I will pick up the atterfalls house, put it back onto a truck, store it temporarily (off the property) and then get a permit to build the larger house, build it, then get permit for the atterfalls hus. etc, etc.

What are your thoughts on this.. ? Thanks again :D
 
What Leby said. I think it's much easier in dealing with kommunen to first build a small part of your big house and later on extend it.

To replace the main house with a new main house is probably trickier if the detaljplan only allows for one main house on the property.

However, if two is allowed, I'd go for that...
 
Only one house is allowed. The main house will go on a rocky hill that needs blasting. The small house will go on the lower flat ground, so I cant expand the little house, becuse it will be in the wrong spot.

I just wonder, if, or how, they can they stop you building another house when the old one is completely removed?
 
You will likely get e permit for the new house but first you will have to apply for a teardown perit for the small, get that inspected and first after that apply for the new. It will probably work but take several month longer. Perhaps you can apply for both at the same time...
You should also consider that the regulation gets tougher every year it seems like, normally its easier to get an extension permit than a new build.
From a practical view your ide seems good but I'm not sure if it is considering permits...
 
Yeah, they make it so impossible to make logical, cost effective solutions. No wonder there is a rental crisis in my area.

Does anyone have any idea how much the building and teardown permits will cost for a 25m2 house in my area? (Uppsala)
 
Any approximations are super okay. And also any ideas or guesses on the cost of the inspections that I will need before they give me my certificate of occupation. I.e. the plumber, electrician inspection and or engineer / commune representative.
 
Normally any house built for living must comply with all standards, both function wise (kitchen, bathroom etc.) but also regarding energy efficiency, accessibility for people with handicaps etc.

There is however a set of rules for temporary houses, those are normally conditioned to be there for a maximum of 5 years, but may be extended.

This is often used for example as "evacuation houses" in large renovation programs, if you are going to do major repairs to 3 000 apartments, a "city" of barracks is sometimes built nearby, and maybe 200 people at a time are moved from their normal apartments into the barracks, for 2 - 3 months.

You may check with the planning authority if this is an alternative in your case. I have not heard of this being used for construction of just one new house. But times are changing.

Regarding tearing down the small building and build the main house. It is not uncommon that you get a building permit for a new house and tearing down of an existing house, and where you can wait with pulling down the old house until the new house is ready. I have seen this happen on 3 lots here near our house over the years.

But I also know that the authorities sometimes refuse to allow a new construction until the existing house has been torn down.

If you build the small house with permits, but also build it within the rules of attefall, authorities can often change it down to an attefall at the same time your building the big one.

This i normally the case when summerhouse areas are turned into permanent areas and the existing summerhouse the turns into a complementary building.

Great advice from everyone! Thanks a tonne all.

And Patrik Lidstedt, that is great news! That would be the ideal situation. I will approach the local commune and see if an arrangement such as this can be made.

That would be perfect if I could build the small house with permits, but also build it within the rules of attefall, then have the authorities change it down to an attefall at the same time as I build the big house.

If I can do that, then all my problems are solved :D But I know that the paperwork and red tape is going to be difficult and not neccissarily in my favor.
