Joakim Lundell’s house – does he live in Norrköping?

Recently they announced that they will no longer live in the house. Despite the years of struggle to fix it.
– Our idea is to hand it over to Aribnb and then buy us a new property fairly soon, tidy it up, post it on Airbnb and make Sweden’s coolest show house, he said in a YouTube clip.
Later he told us that the house will also have a SPA department that you can rent.

The house also involved the couple in a dispute with the Swedish Tax Agency. The whole thing has been about Jocke and Jonna using the house both as a residence and as a filming location for their television series, which ran for several seasons on Discovery Plus.
They made deductions for expenses they put on the villa, which they believe were part of the costs connected to the production of the television series. Something that the Swedish Tax Agency objected to because the property was also their private residence.
Right now they live with the children in an apartment that is also in Norrköping.
