Does anyone know what the legal term for this is, please, e.g. 'agricultural property'?
Thanks,

non-residential premises /
Explanation:
Sven's ref is the key to this, and all congratulations to him for finding such a definitive source. However, my reading of the ref is somewhat different from his, namely that a näringsfastighet is "all property apart from private residential premises/buildings/property"

As accuracy is critical in this sort of text, and as there seems to be no exact English equivalent, I would suggest using that whole clumsy phrase. At least it is not wrong. An alternative but not quite so precise translation would be "non-residential premises", though I accept that does not fully take into account the permutations of timeshare.

Tom Thumb's suggestion of "investment property" also makes sense to me.

disagree  Sven Petersson: You did not read carefully! From a fiscal point of view there are teo kinds of residential buildings in Sweden, "for not more than 2 families" and "for more than 2 families". Real estate lists call the most minute cottage "for not more than 2 families"!

  -> Sven - I am not clear: is a näringsfastighet only private residential property? I read it to mean that it might include other, non-residential property, eg shops, etc. But if it is exclusively residential property, then of course your answer is best..
agree  Adrian MM. (X): With a mixed agri., comm. or res. user, it is the non-residential agri. user that overrides in UK agri. vs. business or res. tenancies & for tax purposes.

agree  Paoletrix: I agree, but only because in my mind, "commercial" and "business" are less appropriate, since the text indicates that farming is the "näring" that's going on.

näringsfastighet
industrial land or property


Explanation:
A Swed. farming 'entity' is split into an industrial part and private residence.

See also the UK Inheritance Act 1984 that refers to agricultural and industrial land. Industrial property has to be watched as confusable with intellectual property.

How does Sven's answer work here?

disagree  Sven Petersson: If you bothered to read my reference you would know how " Sven's answer work here"! - This is not about UK but about Sweden!
13 mins
  -> ett andelshus som har minst tre lägenheter is still classifiable in UK revenue practice as an 'investment property' i.e. qualifies for ind. building capital allowances. Think TAX. In SV and GB, mixed user means one overrides: in GB, it's the agri. use.
disagree  Paoletrix: Your SVO reference is very good, I think, but "industrial" doesn't seem entirely correct to me. Even if the text refers to a large-scale farming operation, "industrial" seems less accurate than "agricultural", for example.

näringsfastighet
residential building for more than 2 families


Explanation:
"Näringsfastihetet" is a very precise fiscal concept, defined as above.

The word \"näringsfastighet\" is NOT a description of a property, it is fiscal label assigned to a property. The definition of what is to be classified as \"näringsfastighet\" can be found in my reference.

Hmmm, David is right. New attempt: \"Any property that is not a residential building for one or two families.\"

disagree  Adrian MM. (X): 'ett andelshus har minst tre skilda lägenheter och är därför en NF' - it's still an investment property. My point: your quote is from the SKATTEVERKET. It's a tax category i.e. an ind. building and not the actual AE condo/BE commonhold use.

neutral  David Shannon: Jag är lite fundersam över om en 'näringsfastighet' verkligen behöver vara en 'residential building' - känns inte så utifrån skatteverkets broschyr

  -> You are right. See note added above!
disagree  asptech: en fastighet är en "näringsfastighet" om den används i en rörelse (uthyrning, fabrik, skogsbruk etc.)
