Found my place in 11 days
Three of my first ten alerts were listings I hadn't seen anywhere else. Signed a 1-bed in Vasastan at 11 800 kr. Worth it.
Arjun Iyer
PhD researcher · Stockholm
Faster than Qasa's own alerts
Tested it head-to-head. Expatriate's email arrived 6 to 11 minutes ahead every time. Wish there was a Slack notification option, but email and SMS works.
Piotr Kowalski
Backend engineer · Malmö
All English, all in one inbox
About 30 alerts in two weeks across four sites I'd never have used directly. The English subject lines were the part that actually made me check each one.
Tom Haugen
Data analyst · Stockholm
Got there before the queue
First real-time alert at 06:40, viewed same day, signed by the weekend. Kungsholmen, end of Feb. Nothing else I tried had this kind of speed.
Laura Eriksson
Software consultant · Stockholm
Family of four, took ten days
Had to widen filters from Södermalm only to also Kungsholmen and Vasastan before alerts started landing. 3-bed at 21 000 kr. Not cheap but it ended the Airbnb runs.
James O'Connor
Product manager · Stockholm
Saved me two months of searching
Three alerts on day four, one of them was the place I signed. Four days of paid use; nothing else came close on yield.
Agata Nowak
Designer · Stockholm
Was 2nd in the thread, not 40th
SMS came mid-meeting, replied right away. 2-bed in Södermalm at 13 500 kr. The listing wasn't unusual. Being early was the whole thing.
Emma Lindgren
Marketing manager · Stockholm
Worked for andrahand, not first-hand
Was about to give up and head home to Bologna. Got the studio alert near Odenplan on a Tuesday, signed by Friday. Doesn't help with the first-hand queue, but I never expected it to.
Sofia Russo
PhD student · Stockholm
Learn the filters first
Set the SMS plan to Göteborg only and missed a Mölndal listing I'd have wanted. After I fixed the filter, no issues. 9-month sublet in Majorna at 8 900 kr.

Skip the queue
Nearly 900,000 people are queued for a rental in Stockholm — the average wait is 9 years. But tens of thousands of second-hand sublets are rented every year, completely outside the queue. The catch: they're spread across 8 separate platforms, mostly Swedish-only. We pull them into one English feed.

Yes, it works without a personnummer
Why not just use Qasa's or Samtrygg's own alerts?
Each platform only shows its own listings. That means signing up for filters on 7 sites separately — most of them in Swedish — and checking 7 inboxes. Expatriate monitors all of them, deduplicates the same apartment when it appears on multiple sites, and sends you one English alert.
Does this actually help find an apartment?
Yes. The sublet market is fragmented — Qasa, Samtrygg, Bofrid and 4 more all run separately, and the good listings can attract dozens of applications within hours. Most expats only watch one or two sites and miss the rest. We pull every new listing from all 7 platforms into one English feed within ~5 minutes of detection, so you see everything and can apply before the crowd.
Is everything in English?
Yes. Expatriate is built English-first. Listings, notifications, dashboard, and support — all in English. We translate listing titles and key details automatically, so you never need to read Swedish to find a home in Sweden.
Do I need a personnummer to rent?
No. Sublets are arranged directly between you and the landlord. Most landlords on these platforms do not require a Swedish personnummer — a passport and proof of income are usually enough.
How fast are the notifications?
We scan all 7 platforms every 5 minutes, 24/7. Email arrives within ~5 minutes of a new listing being detected. Priority adds SMS so the alert lands on your phone too. To match this manually, you'd need to refresh 7 platforms around the clock — and read most of them in Swedish.
What is a sublet?
A sublet (andrahand in Swedish) means a tenant is renting their apartment out to you. The original tenant keeps their lease while you pay rent. These contracts are typically 6–24 months and don't require joining Sweden's housing queue — the most accessible option for expats and newcomers.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your settings at any time. You keep access until the end of your billing period. No lock-in, no hidden fees.
About Expatriate
Moving to Sweden as an expat means navigating a housing market built for locals. The first-hand (förstahand) rental market requires years of queue points — the average wait in Stockholm is 9 years, 7 years in Gothenburg, and 3 years in Malmö. But there is another way. Andrahand apartments — second-hand sublets — are rented directly between a tenant and you, completely outside the bostadskö (housing queue). No queue points, no personnummer required.
Expatriate monitors Sweden's top platforms continuously and sends you an English email within minutes of a matching andrahand apartment going live. We cover Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala, Lund, Linköping and more — 7 platforms, one inbox. Every listing is surfaced in English so you never need to navigate Swedish-language sites or set up filters on 7 different platforms.
Whether you are relocating for work, studying, or exploring life in Sweden, Expatriate is built specifically for expats and internationals who want a second-hand apartment without the language barrier or the housing queue. Try the 3-day pass for 19 kr — no personnummer needed, cancel anytime.
