Boligkjøperforsikring (home buyer's legal-expenses insurance)

Boligkjøperforsikring covers lawyer and expert costs if you pursue a claim against the seller in Norway, but not the cost of the defect itself.

Boligkjoperforsikring (buyer’s insurance) covers legal help if you find a defect and need to pursue a claim against the seller after the purchase. You buy it before you bid, and it is most relevant on an older home with TG2 or TG3 findings. Weigh the premium against the risk you see in the condition report.
