Just outside Falun lives Lovisa and Andreas together with their two young children. The family loves the outdoors and has many different sports as hobbies. Now they are looking for a new home, and are therefore handing over control to TV3’s “Husköp i blindo”. In the program, the experts buy and renovate a house for the participants, without them having any idea what it looks like.
Andreas and Lovisa take part in “Buying a house blindly”
In Lovisa and Andrea’s desired area of Lugnet, there are very few properties for sale, and the house process has therefore taken significantly longer.

With a budget of over SEK 8,250,000, the family now hopes that the experts will succeed in finding their dream home. The real estate agent Sebastian Stojanovic on the other hand, urges them not to be too locked into Lugnet in particular, due to the very limited supply.
Couple regrets when they see their new house – hard boot: ‘Horrible’
The couple is forced to compromise
On the couple’s list of requirements is proximity to Lugnet, living space of at least 150 square meters and a generous annex with room for a garage, future rental unit and storage.
But after a long period of searching, Sebastian Stojanovic is forced to ask the couple to compromise and give in to one of the demands. The couple can consider giving up the living space, but not the location.

After several months, Sebastian Stojanovic finally manages to find a house for the family, which is just a stone’s throw from Lugnet’s outdoor area and is 104 square meters in size.
The reaction in Buying a house blindly: “It goes awry” When the couple take off the blindfolds, they are a little disappointed… Photo: TV3/”Buying a house blindly”
When the couple take off their blindfolds for the first time in their new house, they are far from impressed by what they see. The house from the 70s is in great need of a lift, and consists of a lot of pine elements. And there is a certain detail that makes them extra puzzled.
– The first thing we were met with was a vault, and it goes wrong. It’s like a pizzeria to me, says Lovisa.

Neither the kitchen, the living room nor the bedrooms are really to the couple’s liking.
The bedrooms are not a favorite of the couple. Photo: TV3/”Husköp i blindo””The bedrooms are rather stale,” says Lovisa. Photo: TV3/”Buying a house blindly”
– They are rather stale bedrooms, says Lovisa.
– It is not the obvious object that I would prioritize a display of. I think a lot depended on the situation, says Andreas.
After that, the pine party from the 70s will be gone, and the interior design expert Lena Nyholm starting the renovation. Now Lovisa and Andreas will hopefully finally get their dream house.
