The low tide in the real estate sector has led to the number of property formation cases at the Lantmäteriet decreasing by 25 percent – from 12,500 to 9,500 cases per year – over the past three years, the authority states in a press release.
The authority's operations are largely financed with the help of fees and a calculated overstaffing of 160 employees has therefore arisen.
"We have so far managed by redistributing employees to other tasks. But we are now in a situation where these measures unfortunately are not sufficient, and we must prepare for a reduction in staff," says Head of Operations Arwid Dahlberg.
