The aim of this thesis is to analyze legislative regulation of the transfers of the ownership of the cooperative apartments. The reason for my research is, because I consider this topic to be hot, relevant and still developing, moreover with new Czech private law legislation, which is coming into force on 1st January 2014.

This master thesis addresses the latest form of tenure in Sweden. More specifically we have investigated condominiums from a completed major project in Stockholm, including stakeholders as Developer, Bank, Insurer, Legislator, and the Owners of Condominiums. The overall diffusion of the form of tenure has so far been lower than expected, and the reason for this has not been determined. Our research was made with the intention to identify the main obstacles for the diffusion of condominiums in the Swedish housing market.. In order to do so, we investigated the differences between condominiums and cooperative apartments. The research was conducted through an initial pre-study including interviews with five different experts within the area. Subsequently, a case study on the completed condominium project of Dalénum was made, including interviews with an additional 10 interviewees among the most important stakeholders. In addition to interviews, an extensive real estate appraisal was made, and the results were analyzed through our theoretical framework. Findings from the research suggest that the main differences between the forms of tenure concern the homeowners. More precisely the differences appear in the Capital Structure, the Ownership, and the Ability to Rent out. Moreover, four main obstacles for the diffusion of condominiums were identified as. Catch-22, Costs & Regulations, Neighborship, and Lack of Interest. / Detta examensarbete behandlar den senaste upplåtelseformen i Sverige. Mer specifikt har vi utforskat ägarlägenheter från ett färdigställt projekt i Stockholm, med hänsyn till intressenter som Bostadsutvecklare, Bank, Lagstiftare, och Ägare av Ägarlägenheter. Den generella spridningen av ägarlägenheter har hittills varit lägre än förväntat, och orsaken till detta är inte fastställd. Avsikten med vår forskning var att identifiera de huvudsakliga hindren för ägarlägenheter på den svenska bostadsmarknaden. För att göra detta, så undersökte vi skillnaderna mellan ägarlägenheter och bostadsrätter. Forskningen utfördes med en inledande förstudie bestående av intervjuer med fem olika experter inom området. Därefter utfördes en fallstudie på det färdiga ägarlägenhets projektet i Dalénum, bestående av intervjuer med 10 ytterligare personer av de viktigaste intressenterna. En investeringskalkyl på de olika boendeformerna utfördes för att få en bättre uppfattning av de ekonomiska skillnaderna mellan upplåtelseformerna. Upptäckterna från undersökningen menar att de främsta skillnaderna mellan upplåtelseformerna berör bostadsägarna. Mer exakt framkommer skillnaderna i Kapitalstrukturen, Ägandet, och Möjligheten att Hyra ut. Vidare identifieras fyra huvudsakliga hinder för spridning av ägarlägenheter, det vill säga Moment-22, Kostnader & Regelverk, Grannskap, och Brist på Intresse.
