Hi all. We are moving to Norway from Australia in October, and have all the papers in order.
Our plan is to stay in Norway for the next 5 years at minimum.
From what I can gather online it seems owning your home in Norway is what is "more normal", and also doesn't look like to be a bad investment. Seems real estate prices pretty much online go up like they do here (lol).
Questions.
1. What banks are considered more foreigner friendly? My partner and I both have jobs and steady income.
2. Playing around with this mortgage calculator https://lanfordeg.no/boliglan/boliglanskalkulator/ and unless I'm missing something, on a combined 1M NOK income you can borrow 5M NOK, and you can max have 85% LTV?
3. What websites are best to look for homes? Right now I have used https://www.finn.no/realestate/browse.html. Any other sites worth checking out?
Thanks in advance for any help and other tips.
