Buy A House In Denmark !!TOP!!
Hi everyone,This is Andrea from Wisconsin. I'm an attorney now and have been one for over 15 years, but I'm walking away from my career and leaving my good job behind because I want my kids to grow up in a country that, well, is more in line with the values that my husband and I have (education, gun control, relative wealth equality, a decent safety net for the disabled, no national debt, very little political corruption, etc.).My husband and I are coming under the greencard scheme in April. We have received our approval, have purchased our plane tickets, and have arranged for temporary housing for our first six weeks there, via Airbnb.com. After that, we need to have somewhere else to live.We have enough money saved to buy a small house in a more rural area without taking out a loan. There is no way we could afford to buy in Copenhagen without taking out a loan, but some of these slightly dilapidated but structurally sound rural houses are incredibly inexpensive if one is capable of doing one's own construction work.Anyway, we have been looking at real estate on the internet and have questions regarding the meaning of some words. What are Brutto and Netto? What fees and costs are included in Udbetaling? Who traditionally pays the Udbetaling, the buyer or the seller? Why would a property have a Offentlig ejendomsværdi of 490.000 dkr but an offering price of 94.000 dkr? Does the seller have to disclose if there has been past mold in the property? Does the seller have to disclose if there has been a leak of toxic substances on the property?Thank you very much!Best regards,Andrea

Hi there,You,ve definatley picked the right country to bring up children. So if your looking for a house on Zealand you need to be looking around Koge or a little south, No further than Nestved. Koge is about a 20 min commute to Cph.Once you get registered here and have tempory lodgings then you can buy a house.you must have the visa, CPR number, Bank account address etc before you can buy.Udbetaling: Is basically the deposit for buying the house (paperwork & lawyer/estate agent fees)Brutto and Netto: Gross & net costs. if your buying cash then this does not apply. Its if you take out a bank loan.You can deduct the interest in tax. but only if you borrow money.Offentlig ejendomsværdi: this is basically what the house & land are worth according to the Kommune. Its what you will pay community tax of. The lower the ejendomsvaedi the lower the monthly tax on your property.so if the property was worth 490K and they are asking 94K. its a good price. Although 94K is a very small amount for a property. Id check into it more. ie: what kind of property. its not a house price, not here anyway.Finally the estate agent will have all documents regarding the property. mold, mines etc. Most houses get a survey anyway prior to selling. The seller normally gets this done. nobody would touch a house without it unless its a bankrupt house.If you need anymore help just ask.Regardslee
Andrea, unless you tell me the link of the house, I cannot answer you but I would guess it's some sort of andel (co-op) where you pay some money up front and keep paying monthly. Non PR in Denmark can buy properties, it's just that they need to get permission from the Justice Ministry (just a formality)
The price and quality of insurance policies vary greatly, so remember to check what is and is not covered by the insurance. Note also that the insurance premium must have been paid no later than when you get the keys to the house.
Danish legislation on the acquisition of a house or an apartment in Denmark varies from other EU countries. The requirements of buying real estate in Denmark can be unclear. It can be difficult to see the full scope of your possibilities regarding the purchase agreement and how to finance the purchase.
Certain rules apply when foreigners want to buy a house or an apartment in Denmark. You may have to submit an application to the Department of Civil affairs. However, the process varies depending on whether you wish to purchase an all-year residence or a vacation home. Furthermore, it depends on whether you are an EU citizen and if you are currently living in Denmark.
In Denmark, certain rules determine who may buy a house or a flat (real estate), how the purchase of the real estate is to be financed, and how the seller remains liable for any latent defects. The Danish rules differ from those of many other countries. A foreigner may therefore feel that navigating the Danish real estate market is a daunting task.
If you do not meet the requirements, you may apply to the Danish Ministry of Justice for permission to purchase a house or a flat. When considering your application, the Ministry of Justice will attach significance to any significant other ties with Denmark, which you may already have.
Your title in your new home will need to be registered in the so-called Land Register. You will be registered as the owner of the house or flat. In addition, the mortgage or loan which you may have taken out to finance the purchase of the property, or to finance any later remodelling, will be registered.
There are two good websites to look when you wish to buy property: boliga.dk and boligsiden.dk. These two websites showcase almost all houses for sale in Denmark and you can set up a user profile on both sites and thereby get alerts when houses are matching your criteria come for sale.
It should be added that the rules effectively prevent investors and other legal or natural people domiciled outside Denmark from purchasing holiday houses in Denmark. As regards such houses, no exceptions for EEA-domiciled buyers exist, and in practice permission from the Ministry of Justice is not achievable. Moreover, the rules are complemented by rules also preventing Danish companies and other legal entities from purchasing such houses without permission. The rules and practice are based on the agreement on Denmark's admission into the EEC. The Danish government negotiated a reservation for fear of great demand for Danish holiday houses from the citizens of neighbouring EEC countries that would prevent ordinary Danes from purchasing a holiday house in Denmark.
Espresso House is the largest coffeehouse chain in the Nordic countries.[1][2] Founded in Lund, Sweden in 1996 by Elisabet and Charles Asker. In March 2018 reached over 460 locations throughout Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Germany.
In Denmark a second home means a summer cottage, preferably near the beach, or at least in the coastal zone. Inland houses and former farmhouses used for recreational purposes exist but the vast majority of Danish 'second homes' are situated in the coastal zone.
During the 1960s through to the beginning of the 1970s, when the private ownership of cars became commonplace and the prosperity of the population in general increased, the number of cottages rose dramatically. For the most part these 'new' cottages where constructed as small wooden houses with only very basic amenities.
These price rises could be explained by the general trend in the property market which has seen permanently rising prices since late 1990s but also by the fact that the number of summer cottages has been fixed while the number of households, due to demographic changes, has grown.
Moreover, the fact that many of the traditional 'summer cottage' areas are now situated quite close to large urban areas puts significant pressure on both the municipalities and their citizens in respect of the conversion of summer cottages into normal single family houses.
But I have a theory about the real reason summer houses are so popular in Denmark. Danes like nothing more than to fix up their houses, and when they buy a summerhouse, they have two houses to fix up.
John Hay, U.S. Secretary of State from 1898 to 1905, was also interested in acquiring the Danish West Indies, as part of his broader plans for American expansion and securing the route of the future Panama Canal. In 1900, the U.S. and Danish governments again entered into a treaty, which the Senate ratified in 1902. However, the upper house of the Danish parliament did not ratify this treaty, deadlocking in a tied vote. The 1902 treaty did not contain a plebiscite provision, nor did it accord U.S. citizenship to the islanders. The U.S. purchase of the Danish West Indies was thus delayed again.
Preferring peaceful transfer to occupation, the Danish government agreed to Lansing's demands, and Brun and Lansing signed a treaty in New York on August 4, 1916. The treaty was approved by the Danish Lower House on August 14, and subsequently passed by the Danish Upper House. The treaty was approved by a Danish plebiscite (though not a Virgin Islands plebiscite) on December 14. Subsequent re-approvals of the transfer were passed by both Danish houses, and then ratified by King Christian X of Denmark. The U.S. Senate ratified the treaty on September 6, and it was signed by Woodrow Wilson on January 16, 1917. Formal transfer of the islands occurred on March 31, 1917, along with a U.S. payment to Denmark of $25,000,000 in gold coin.
Nevertheless, the price of real estate in Denmark by the standards of the developed countries of Western Europe and Southeast Asia is quite acceptable. Apartments in Denmark are about twice as expensive as houses: the price per square meter of an apartment is 4,890 US dollars, per square meter of a house is 2,440 US dollars. Vacation homes occupy an average price niche of $3,120/sq.m. Above the average price level only in the capital region, where the cost is almost twice as expensive (4,745 USD/sq.m). This is followed by Zeeland (2,170 USD/sq.m), Central Jutland (2,044 USD/sq.m), South Denmark (1,670 USD/sq.m). The cheapest accommodation is in North Jutland ($1,550/m2). 041b061a72
