Inherited property: move in and save taxes? What you need to consider. In general, you as an heir should live in the property for at least ten years if you want to benefit from tax.

If you have to leave the inherited property before the deadline for compelling reasons, the deadline does not apply. Heirs have two years to design the property in accordance with the Building Energy Act. For example, oil and gas boilers that are more than 30 years old need to be replaced.
