Selger villa på Hasle etter Viking-overgang

In mid-July, football player Henrik Bjørdal (29) purchased a villa in Seljeveien on Hasle for 17.2 million Norwegian Krone, which Vårt Oslo described as a "hot property". Later in the week, Nordvik Oppgjør released a mortgage document worth 21.6 million Krone. The agent now confirms that the property will be sold, stating that the final selling price depends on the market, according to Emil Espeland Jacobsen, a property agent and partner at Nordvik Løren.

The property has not yet been put up for sale, but Nordvik Løren is in talks with Bjørdal regarding a pricing strategy. Location is key when determining the price increase for the property, the agent explains. Pricing is initially not set, and they base the strategy on comparable sales, location, standard, and current market conditions.

They have no rush to sell; the goal is to find the right buyer, and they take the necessary time, the agent adds. The plan is to publish the property in the open market within a few weeks. The villa is 166 square meters and was completed in 2021. With a purchase price of 103,614 Krone per square meter, the price per square meter was 103,614 Norwegian Krone.

By August, it became clear that Bjørdal would stay in Oslo for some time. In March, news emerged from Vålerenga football: "Our captain is taking four more years. Henrik Bjørdal has signed a long-term contract with Vålerenga." Shortly after the purchase, Bjørdal sold his home in Hasle to Viking for 25 million Krone just before the transition period closed.

The move has sparked debate and led to the departure of managing director Søren Eriksen. In his debut for Viking, Bjørdal scored a last-minute goal in their opening match against Sandefjord in early September. It is not certain that Bjørdal will profit from the sale. When he purchased the villa in July, he likely paid a 2.5% property transfer tax, amounting to approximately 430,000 Krone.

The agent's fee remains to be determined. Bjørdal has owned the property for three months, so any profit from the sale is likely taxable as capital income at 22%.
