What are conditions, deposit, and what happens if the purchase falls through?

Common conditions include loan clauses ("låneklausul") (purchase depends on loan approval within 1-2 weeks) and inspection clauses ("besiktningsklausul"). The deposit ("handpenning") (usually 10% of purchase price ("köpeskilling")) is paid at contract signing and held in the agent's client funds account ("klientmedelskonto") until handover ("tillträde"). If you as buyer back out without valid reason, you risk losing the deposit ("handpenning") as damages. If the seller backs out, you can claim damages ("skadestånd"). Have a written contract ("köpeavtal") with clear conditions that protect you if something unexpected happens.
