Russel in Sweden
Швеция
Добавлен 12 апр 2024
Hi I'm a South African living in Sweden. Cheap rural Swedish property has become a hot topic right now with some of the cheapest houses and farms in Europe. I go exploring the Swedish countryside looking for bargain properties and see what they are really like. I also make videos about my life and what it is like to live in Sweden as a foreigner . The nature is beautiful and being outside and doing things like camping and fishing is what I think life is all about. Sweden is the perfect place to find a cheap rural property and set up a homestead or take on a renovation project. Enjoy the amazing nature and come explore Sweden with me as I go looking for secret cheap houses or take my kids fishing.

In this episode I talk about applying for my visa to move to sweden and the process I went through. Applying for visas for any country can be a nightmare but Sweden was mission because of the high amount of immigrants who have moved there over the past 10 years.

What is it like living in a small village in the Swedish countryside? Check out my video as I show you around the simple house we bought at half the price of the houses in the city. The area around the house is beautiful with a fairytale castle and beautiful lakes. The Swedish countryside has some of the best quality of living in Sweden and I am taking full advantage of it.

The Swedish countryside is full of cheap houses. Come with me as I explore a cheap Swedish "summer house" (sommarstuga). Sweden has some of the cheapest rural properties and it is the perfect place to buy a bargain house. Start a homestead or do a renovation project. This house is in the middle of the forest surrounded by nature and trees. As a South African living in Sweden I love discovering ...
How much in heating cost ?
15.10 I was hoping for the grand prize of an antique Volvo....
If you have a resident permit at Sweden, can you live whole year in a summer house?
All these foreigners are destroying our rural housing market. Please stop advocating buying houses here, you are the problem.
Cost of living is expensive in Sweden and the winters are very long and still cold despite global warming and very little light for 6 months of the year!! My advice would be to think twice before moving there.
Try Southern Sweden pay more for a house but you save on heating oil.
There are worse than that, Russia for an example, believe me 😂 living is also expensive, everything is ugly and people are probably the rudest on Earth 😂
Sounds like a Estonia as well!
Thanks but no thanks plus high taxes.
Have you watch tv lately Swedan is a shit hole you got hight levels mass shootings hight knife stabbings. Hight levels off gang rape it’s. Dipressing. Crapweather snd beaches nothing good comes from Swedan it’s no different London Germany and every other shit Europe country I live in in the best country it’s called heaven on earth. Amazing beaches amazing weather very very clean low crime you can’t get much better true facts plus every body moving there specialy people from the uk there you have it
I think now days you have to install a new kind of aflop. And it cost a lot of money. I am looking for just a remote cheap peace of land where you can have a little barn or a chet where you could park your camper van. So you can go there when you had too much people arround you. I am buying a little building in Trathult, Hogsby commun.
Someone surely, as they got rid of the wooden oven, they also took out the oil burner downstaris and changed that to electric stupidity. And I bet that guy also got rid of the radiators under all windows and put only few middle of the house, which is the most itidotic thing to do, common in Italy too: always nice drafting feel. And I bet he also took the dish-drying cabinet away as its nicer to wash dishes looking out and oh, nowhere to put them then! ;-)
Price,
You dont understand how the life is upthere in the winter.. Like 6 months of darkness, snow and extremly cold. In The summer can be nice but its short and so much mosquites. Dont be so naive. You woudnt survive it for sure
Sounds depressing.....
The electric price has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. It has to do with the green parties shutting down nuclear power production in favour of wind and solar.
Mja. It has very much to do with accomplishing the result of the nuclear energy referendum in the eighties.
Great house/price. Cheers from Deep East TEXAS.
You just don't make cut in the walls without consulting a structural engineer. In the worst case scenario the building can collapse when you're inside it, because some of the structural part of the building got destroyed when you made the cut in the wall.
Russell, I just spoke to Duncan and it appears you are hiding your best content from your loyal subscribers! I would totally watch a video titled, "Old man threatens to shit in front of couple then follows through!"
Sweden is a shit hole full knife crime shootings high level off Rape. And a lot more shit weather. Dirty streets. I’m from. Surface paradise. The Gold Coast it’s heaven. So move to Sweden.
Those water radiators is way more effective than electric radiators. The pipes circulates hot water thru the house as well. Electric radiators heats spots and many don't like the very dry air it generates. Heat pumps need real pro's to install and is not suitable for all houses. Several small rooms, and u have a problem. Now u have 2. Which is better. Both running on same compressor? But whatever u do.. do NOT get rid of these radiators. Vattenburen värme is great.
Old radiators like you have - connetced with water - they are GOLD - best option.
Very bizarre rule that you are not able to receive the VISA while in Sweden. All the best Russell!
I live in United State with US passport. Can I buy this type of vacation cottage in Sweden ?
Yes you can, absolutly not a problem.
hey Russell, can i help edit your video or thumbnail so you can get more views please reply
Interesting one! 😮
How about make a video on something productive instead of promoting to people with more money than sense about all this. All of a sudden prices sky rocket and rich people have multiple properties to rent out. There’s people out here with good reason to want to get away from all that and live a better life, not compete with what they’re trying to get away from. All so you can make a name for yourself
The timber price is over 100eur/m3 and still rising, as the firewood. I bet that warming or energy cost in a old house will be over the cost of purchase the house in 10 years, in modern houses there is 10 inches of insulation and to isolate a old house can start problems with house mushroom or mold. air to air pump is good but works mainly for 1 room. The alternative is ground heating, which costs~12000EUR. Still the enery cost is high for heat pumps, pumps, water heating and transportation to foodstores, doctors or work is very high. Internet could be a concern. Many workers in the north lays about 1500 eur/month on driving to work. But if you love skiing and hunting and fishing, it could be worth living there.
I think/hope that you did the right choice.. for sweden? A small village give both benefits and drawbacks.. you probably gonna get to know everyone, (bad and good) the village know that its your children! For bad and good! And then to the electricity bill.. it always gonna skyrocket in winter, thats normal.. in the summer one mostly pay the grid fees! Its expenditur that one planes for.. keep money in banc acounts for the electricity bill! Heatpumps kinda even it out a bit, especialy in spring and autum.. its the same for woodstoves, the price for firewood is comparable to electricity.. when it comes to KW/H, if one have to buy it! Its rather this,, buy firewood befor the season at cheaper price! Whatever.. its rather this.. its gonna cost mostly the same, but one can then keep that inner comfort one like!
❤😊😊
I live further up north, we have radiators like that, but we have a big hose in the water (it only freezes on top, the rest is at least +4), and the house is warm all year around. And our house is way older than yours :-D
Your videos are great. Im surpirsed you dont have more videos
Så Russel Ben Hartshorne, "flykting" från Sydafrika, du gillar väl säkert "mångkultur" (kanske inte i ditt förra hemland men här, precis som alla andra nykolonisatörer från UK, Holland, Tyskland, Frankrike, USA, din svenska sambo Hanna Elice Kristina Örtegren gör i alla fall nog det?
I was convinced you need to certify the wood heater. Am I wrong?
Water based radiators are extremely effective
Vää
The best comment, this house is rubbish 🏚️
I love how little of that "let me show you that house with a drone music" you play
how much is it?

Ooo, do not take out the radiators! The airheaters are crap. It is noisy and doesn’t work when it gets cold. Make shore to put in a heatingsystem that work with the radiators. Nice village and house I wood get in touch with a company that work with air-water heatpump, you can just google companies, for example nibe… it is not that expensive. What you need to be clear of is that it is made for this climate.
Yes, better to heat the water for the radiators with something else than electricity. But still those kind of radiators is probably the best way to keep the temperature in a house (that or a few "kakelugnar").
@gunlindblad5202 Hej! Thanks for the comment. These air heaters work well until it's gets to be more than -5. Then I need to have the fire on also. Radiator are better but the cost for a new water heat pump was too much me with new radiators. So yes radiators are better but for now this works just fine.
@@RusselinSweden the thing is, electricity straight off is extremly expensive in the winter and you already have radiators (the old castironradiators are the best ever, do not change them!!!) and that means you can put in a new system without having to replace them. There are modern systems (even old types) reliaible that is worth looking into. As you said under -5 the ones you have doesn’t work and in Sweden, depensing on where you are, it get really really cold. So I would make shore to ut in a system before fall, it is more important than anything else.
I have radiators in my 115yr old apt . It runs off a boiler it so far has been most efficient for warmth . Since its apt I have no control over setting the temp . Our bolier gets turned on oct 15th to may , I live in cold/ snowy state in the US. Ive had previously had electric heat=$$😮, furnace heat=meh ,so far boiler w radiators has been best .
Nice video!! I would love to see a video talking more about your daily life and work! It would be awesome :)
@@bernardopros1736 Thanks so much. I will do one soon
Great video, but I have a question. I do have family in southern Sweden, they escaped Poland during Russian occupation, I know that Poland is thinking about similar kind of law like in Sweden/Finland regarding bunkers(I know that in Sweden block of flats above certain m2 have specialyaddapted basements) not to mention Finland What about Swedish countryside which is full of wooden houses? I've heard Sweden can hide 70-80%of population. Are there any local bunkers/fallout shelter or alternatively does Sweden refund building one. Thank You sorry for the long question, but Eastern Ukraine looks like the Moon.
The building of bunkers thong was a cold war era. Where you could get a subsidy for including a public bunker in your building. So a lot were built even in rural areas.. And they are still around. Even if most are used for things like storage for now. But that program stopped decades ago. There are no new ones built today and haven't been since something like the early eighties
@@igeekling Ok txs for clarifying that definitely I've seen a lot of so called storage conversions...., I guess Poland is most likely looking at Swedish cold war solutions and current ones in Finland. Kind Regards!
@@perkunlitewski being able to use the space for your own purpose during peace time was part of the deal. Since a lot of them are in private properties, With the provision to be able to turn into a public bunker in 24 hours. Of course as many, perhaps most even, have changed ownership over the last half century since they were built. It is questionable how many of the current owners are even aware of that whole this room in the basement is a public bunker and require being able to function as such with a 24 hour notice. And you as the property owner are responsible for that to happen.
@@igeekling Absolutely (24-hour notice, etc.), but I believe public awareness is growing alongside the looming threat from the East. In case you weren't aware, Poland is currently experiencing sabotage attacks(arson a.). Migrants are being trained in Russia by the Wagner Group and then pushed across the Belarusian border. Here's hoping Sweden can avoid a similar situation, as wooden buildings would unfortunately be even more vulnerable to such attacks.
There are an old series about the Swedish planning and preparation for war during the cold war. You may be interested in that. Here is a reaction series to that with english subtitles: ruclips.net/video/b1zs2LfDc8k/видео.htmlsi=5LB9IvKjebWBMNuN
Okey.. its this that are a lot of cheap houses to buy in sweden.. especialy in areas that not even swedes like to live in anymore! Moste of them is summer cottages for city dwellers or heretige propertys to use at summer vacation! And there is always a price to pay if one buy those property.. in the middle of nowhere!
Yeah one reason why many young people leave is that their is no/llw opurtunities in many of those secluded areas.
You have a knack for finding beautiful parts of the world, Russell! Good to see you doing DIY despite being in the land of IKEA! Keep well, my friend!
