Good to know

What does Heimer cost?

Heimer Plus costs 599 kr a month for ten analyses, Heimer Max 999 kr for 25. A single analysis costs 299 kr. Prices include tax and cover your household. The subscription renews monthly until you cancel, and unused analyses do not carry over. Saving homes and notes is free. Saved homes and completed analyses remain available.

What does the analysis read?

The listing and the documents available, such as the inspection report, the energy declaration and the annual report. Then sources online, such as the municipality’s plans and sold homes nearby. What could not be found is listed too, so you know what to ask about.

Does it replace a survey?

No. Heimer shows what to check and ask about, and when a survey is worth the money.

How can you know what might be wrong?

We read the inspection report and the other documents, and test the usual weak points for the build year against what they say about the house. What cannot be settled becomes a question for the agent.
