Many builders use prosjektmeglere to sell the valve housing to the consumers. When the housing in a projected new buildings be sold, the developer and prosjektmegler not something physical to show off.

– It is a part of deceptive marketing in which one is trying to make the houses nicer than they basically are. Where the option is presented as a standard solution, ” says Hovde Skjelbostad.

Tåkelegging in contracts

In 2017 to the consumer ombudsman, especially look at the contracts for the new buildings.

– the Default appointment is regulated in bustadoppføringsloven, but we have seen that some in the industry operates with contracts with unclear deadlines for completion, ” says Hovde Skjelbostad.

at the same time she points to a vague deadline for the completion provides little predictability and can lead to the right to claim liquidated damages is without real content. A clear deadline is important in order to be able to claim dagmulkten.

You need to have a time to take a starting point in. A clear deadline is also critical to be able to plan all the practical and financial aspects of the relocation.

We, therefore, require that the contracts contain binding deadlines for the completion already at the conclusion of the contract, ” says Hovde Skjelbostad.

the Ombudsman has also seen the blurry subject when it comes to the initiation of construction.

– We also require that the agreements contain clearly formulated the subject and clear deadlines for the elimination of the subject, ” says Hovde Skjelbostad.

– Important with the control

standards Norway has in cooperation with the consumer ombudsman, the Norwegian Consumer council and bransjeorganisasjonene previously prepared standard contracts for the purchase of the projected dwellings.

– It is important that the consumer ombudsman leads to the control of the industry, ” says Jæger.

on Wednesday last week let Jæger up the numbers for nyboligbygging in Norway in the last year. Sales of new homes increased by 15 per cent from 2015.

as of December 2016 was sold 35.621 nyboliger the last 12 months. It is record high.
