Which cooperative owns the building?
The cooperative that owns the building stock behind a share-based dwelling: Organization Number, Common Debt and the latest annual accounts in one call, the same information a Broker otherwise gets from the sales prospectus or the managing agent.

From property to housing cooperative
The call tells you which cooperative actually owns the building stock behind a share-based dwelling, not just who lives there. Brokers use it to fill in the prospectus fields on Common Debt and managing agent without calling the housing association, banks use it to assess the real debt burden on a share before granting a mortgage, and managers use it to monitor Common Debt across a portfolio holding both cooperative flats and sectioned joint ownerships.
The Answer comes with the cooperative's Organization Number and name, legal form (borettslag, sameie, boligaksjeselskap or, for Swedish entities, bostadsrättsförening via Combify), the number of units in the cooperative, secured Common Debt in kroner, and a structured latestStatement object from the most recent annual accounts filed: financial year, operating income, operating profit, profit for the year, equity, total assets, number of employees and the percentage change from the year before.
The Organization Number comes with the same identifier scheme (ISO 6523) that the rest of the API uses for companies: taken from Brønnøysundregistrene for a Norwegian cooperative, and from the Swedish company register via Combify for a bostadsrättsförening.
Common Debt is the individual share's portion of the cooperative's total loans, secured against the cooperative's property rather than against the individual share. Two homes with the same price tag on the deposit can therefore cost widely different amounts in practice, depending on how much Common Debt rests on that particular share.

Fields that actually tell you something
One GET call with the country code and the matrikkel number of the dwelling unit returns the cooperative behind the home. The fields below are the ones that decide what you can fill in the prospectus without a phone call to the managing agent.

A property with no organised cooperative, an ordinary freehold home, returns 404: the absence of an Answer is itself the information that the dwelling unit is owned directly, not through a share. unitCount shows how many units the cooperative manages in total, while the individual dwelling units on the property itself are listed separately under Buildings and dwelling units.

Data and sources
The information about the cooperative comes from Borettsregisteret at Kartverket, the accounting figures from Regnskapsregisteret at Brønnøysundregistrene. Swedish bostadsrättsföreningar come via Combify. All three are updated continuously as cooperatives report changes or file new accounts.

What happens for a freehold home?
Does it work in Sweden?
kind shows the Swedish entity form, and the Organization Number is taken from the Swedish company register via Combify.Is unitCount the same as the number of dwelling units on the property?
unitCount shows how many units the cooperative manages in total, while the dwelling units on the property itself are listed separately under Buildings and dwelling units: a cooperative often manages more buildings than those standing on this particular property.
