Area Type Explanations

BRA (Bruksareal) - Usable Area: Total area that can be used, including all rooms, hallways, and storage. This is the most commonly cited area measurement.

P-ROM (Primærrom) - Primary Rooms: Living areas only: bedrooms, living room, kitchen, dining room. Does not include bathrooms, hallways, or storage.

BRA-i vs BRA-e: - BRA-i: Indoor areas - BRA-e: Outdoor covered areas (balconies, terraces, covered porches)

Common Calculation:

BRA = BRA-i + BRA-e
BRA-i = P-ROM + S-ROM + BRA-b

Understanding Norwegian Cooperative Housing

Borettslag (Housing Cooperative): A cooperative association that owns the building. Members own a "share" (andel) that gives the right to live in a specific apartment. You own the share, not the apartment itself.

Key Concepts:

• Fellesgjeld (Collective Debt): The building's total debt divided among members
• Innskudd (Deposit): Initial payment when buying the share
• Andel (Share): Your ownership stake in the cooperative
• Forkjøpsrett (Pre-emption Right): The cooperative's right to buy before external buyers
• Styregodkjenning (Board Approval): Board must approve new members

Why So Much Information? Norwegian law requires extensive disclosure for cooperative sales. Buyers need to understand the cooperative's financial health, rules, and their obligations as members.
