Privately, I live in Kgs. Lyngby. I am married and my wife is also a lawyer and deals with family and criminal law. I have four children and two German Shepherds. In addition to my family, my great interest is cycling, especially mountain biking, which I do at least once a week. One of my boys rides mountain bikes at an elite level, so the weekends are often spent riding Denmark thin in connection with races.

If you are going to buy or sell your home, it is a very good idea to have a property lawyer on the sidelines. ValbyAdvokaterne ApS can advise you throughout the process and ensure you full legal security.
Home buying is for the vast majority a very big decision, therefore it is natural that both buyer and seller are left with many questions. The family, finances and emotions are a natural part of the worries, therefore it is important that you have a professional and impartial advisor who can secure you before signing a purchase agreement.
At ValbyAdvokaterne ApS , we have been responsible for many property transactions throughout Denmark and we are ready to help you safely through your home purchase, whether you buy a house, a condominium or a holiday home.
When you choose to assign a property lawyer, you get an independent advisor whose task is to look after your interests and create the best possible deal for you. Unlike the real estate agent, the real estate lawyer is your trusted advisor and not the seller’s.
At ValbyAdvokaterne ApS, we have many years of experience as property lawyers and we are ready to advise you before, during and after your home purchase. We provide a professional service and take pride in making you feel safe throughout the process.
We will help you with the following:
– Review of the purchase agreement

– Preparation of reservations in trade
– Possible transfer of ownership insurance
– Dialogue with real estate agent
– Dialogue with buyer and seller’s bank
A home sale is typically handled by a real estate agent, but more and more people today try to sell their home on their own and thus save the broker’s fee.
If you want to sell your home without using a broker, you can advantageously let ValbyAdvokaterne ApS help you. From the legal side, a number of different requirements are imposed on the documents that must be available to the buyer. We help you obtain and review these documents with you. In addition to this, we make sure that the purchase agreement is drawn up in accordance with all the regulations.
If you choose ValbyAdvokaterne ApS , you get a sparring partner who knows the housing market and follows this closely. We advise you on the basis of many years of experience in real estate.

You will need a property lawyer to make sure that you have the legal aspects in place when buying or selling your home in Denmark. A property lawyer is an independent and impartial legal advisor who specialises in real estate transactions.
A property lawyer ensures that the transaction is done legally, so you avoid extra costs and unpleasant surprises when buying and selling a home. A real estate transaction is often a complex entity, where there can be many conditions and pitfalls.
A housing lawyer is also your assurance that you will not enter into an agreement that is unfair and to the benefit of another party.
Once you have had a property lawyer on the case and the purchase agreement has been prepared and signed, and your deed is registered, you can feel confident that the legal documentation is in order when buying and selling a home.
If the cases become extra difficult and a dispute arises, the housing lawyer can also take your case to court.
A real estate lawyer’s primary job is to review various purchase agreements. Especially those who want to buy a home should use a housing lawyer.
In connection with the purchase of a home in Denmark, you must always sign a purchase agreement. This agreement is reviewed by the lawyer and this ensures that everything is in order.
In addition, a property lawyer reviews all the documents and conditions that form the basis of the transaction: purchase agreement, condition report, energy label, change of ownership insurance, a owners’ association’s articles of association, easements and much more.
The cost of a real estate lawyer can vary greatly depending on how the lawyer you choose works. Some lawyers run with fixed rates, others with hourly rates. The fixed prices are often between DKK. 3,500-14,000 incl. VAT.
At ValbyAdvokaterne ApS you can get help from DKK. 3,500 incl. VAT per trade.
The lawyer’s reservation is very important when you sign a purchase agreement when buying a home. When you are about to buy a home, you will often feel pressure from the real estate agent to sign the purchase agreement.
If you are under time pressure and have not yet had a property lawyer review the agreement and the property’s other documents, we at ValbyAdvokaterne ApS always recommend that you insert a lawyer’s reservation in your purchase agreement. This ensures you and makes sure that you are not tied up in the purchase agreement if your lawyer finds some unpleasant surprises. As a buyer, you thus secure an extra opportunity to thoroughly review the transaction with your property lawyer before the agreement is finally concluded.
As soon as the case papers are received from the real estate agent, the deadline for the lawyer’s reservation is reconciled with the real estate agent and I begin the review of the transaction. We review my comments on the deal well before the deadline, so that you as a buyer have time to consider what meaning my comments should have. After the review, I will send a letter of approval to the real estate agent, where the transaction is approved on your behalf with any corrections to the purchase agreement and / or reservations, e.g. regarding the bank’s final approval. When all reservations have been clarified and fulfilled, I will finally announce the trade, and the transaction is then binding, both for you and the seller. The actual paper process with title deeds and registration can then begin.
