Buyer advice and legal documents

Buyer advice, so your way to a new home is the right one.

Since 2008 I have learned how much lies behind a property purchase. Today I use that experience to advise you and guide you safely through buying your home.

Confidence through the whole purchase

When you buy a home, whether it is a house, a flat, a holiday home, a former farmhouse or a residential farm, there are many decisions to make and a great deal to take in. The purchase agreement is only part of it. Documents have to be reviewed, terms have to be understood, deadlines have to be met, and the right questions have to be asked along the way.

My job is to give you an overview, and peace of mind.

Since 2008 I have worked with more than 850 property transactions, first as an advisor to sellers and since then only to buyers. I have also handled the conveyancing of transactions. That has given me a broad understanding of the whole process and of the different interests that meet in a property transaction.

I also know the seller's side of the table. I know what the seller's agent is looking for, what thinking sits behind the advice they give, and what can matter when the terms of a transaction are being settled.

I bring that experience with me when I advise you. I review your transaction thoroughly, explain my remarks in language you can actually follow, and help you make your decisions on a sound and well informed basis.

You are not supposed to be able to see through all of it yourself. That is exactly why I am here.

IIIThe process

The process, how I guide you through buying your home

  1. The first conversation

    20 to 30 min. · free
    I do
    We talk about the home you are considering, where you are in the process, and what you need help with. I explain how I can advise you, and we agree how I can best help you from there.
    You do
    You tell me about the home and what you want from the advice. Nothing needs to be ready, we work out the next step together.

  2. Review of the documents

    1 to 2 working days
    I do
    I review the purchase agreement and the transaction documents thoroughly, including the condition report, the electrical installation report, the energy label, the land register, easements, the local plan and other relevant documents about the property. I look into the matters that bear on your particular transaction, and I gather my remarks for you.
    You do
    You send me the material, or you give me permission to obtain it from the estate agent.

  3. Our meeting

    45 to 60 min. · online or in person
    I do
    We go through the transaction and my remarks together. I explain the legal and practical matters in language you can follow, and we talk about the points that need particular attention or have to be settled with the seller.
    You do
    You ask every question you have along the way. When we are done you should have a clear overview of the transaction and know what happens next.

  4. Approval, dialogue and conveyancing

    Before the advisor's reservation expires
    I do
    I draft the approval letter with the relevant reservations and take the dialogue with the seller's estate agent. If matters need clarifying or terms need changing, I handle that dialogue for you. From there I follow the transaction on through the deed, the registration and the rest of the conveyancing.
    You do
    I keep you informed along the way and go through anything significant with you before we proceed. You make the decisions, I make sure you have what you need to make them.

  5. Handover

    On the handover date and until the transaction is complete
    I do
    I see the transaction all the way through. I review the settlement statement and I remain your advisor if questions come up or something is not as agreed around the handover.
    You do
    You go through the home, read the meters, and contact me if anything does not match what was agreed.

From our first conversation until the transaction is complete you have the same advisor, and you always know who to call.

The right level

The right level of advice for your purchase

No two property transactions are alike, so the advice should not be either.

Some people need a thorough review and a professional eye on the transaction. Others want me alongside them the whole way, taking the dialogue with the seller and the agent and helping get the transaction safely into place.

If you are buying your first home, I explain everything you have not been through before. If you have bought before, or you are selling and buying at the same time, it is often the timing and the finances that matter most.

I help you find the level of advice that suits you and your transaction, and I do not recommend more than you need.

My focus is the legal side of your purchase. If something comes up that calls for a building surveyor, a bank or another specialist, I will say so. Then you know what needs clarifying, and with whom.

You choose the level. I make sure you know what you are choosing.

Frequently asked questions

What does buyer advice cost at Nørby Boligrådgivning?

Full buyer advice costs 8,995 kr. If you only want a professional review of the purchase agreement and the transaction documents, that costs 4,500 kr. All prices are published on this site, they include VAT, and there are no hidden hourly rates.

What is the difference between the review and full buyer advice?

The review of the transaction at 4,500 kr. (often in a bidding round or a conditional purchase) is a professional review of the purchase agreement and the transaction documents plus an advisory meeting where we go through my remarks. You handle the further dialogue yourself. Full buyer advice at 8,995 kr. also includes minutes of the meeting, the approval letter, the dialogue with the seller's estate agent, and my following the transaction through the conveyancing and up to the handover.

What does negotiation cost?

Negotiation costs 10,000 kr. I research the market, set a negotiation strategy and handle all communication with the seller's agent. If the purchase does not go ahead, the fee is 5,000 kr.

Is the registration duty included in the price?

No. Registration duty is paid directly to the Danish state. I tell you the amount before you commit to anything.

Should I contact you before or after I sign?

Preferably before, but it is not too late afterwards. If you have signed with an advisor's reservation, you typically have between four and six working days to have the purchase reviewed. Contact me as soon as possible so I can do it before the deadline.

What is an advisor's reservation?

A reservation in the purchase agreement that gives you the right to have the purchase reviewed by an advisor before it becomes binding on you. Before the deadline, I can approve the purchase, ask for changes, or withdraw from it on your behalf.

Do you also advise on buying a holiday home?

Yes. I advise on buying a permanent home, a holiday home, a former farmhouse and a residential farm. I do not advise on cooperative housing (andelsboliger).

We are buying a home together without being married. What should we be aware of?

That you do not inherit from each other, and that the law does not set out how the home is to be divided if you separate. A co-ownership agreement at 2,500 kr. and a will at 3,500 kr. solve that.

Can I get advice in English?

Yes. I advise in both Danish and English, at the same price and with the same care.

Can I buy a will without having a property purchase with you?

Yes. You do not have to be a property client of mine. A will costs 3,500 kr., a future power of attorney 1,495 kr. and 2,500 kr. for couples, a co-ownership agreement 2,500 kr. and a prenuptial agreement 3,500 kr. We always begin with a conversation before I draft the document.

Who do I speak to when I contact you?

Me. There is no call centre, no assistant and no chatbot. The first conversation is free and without obligation.

If your answer is not here, please call or write.

IILegal documents

Legal documents, with or without a property purchase

You do not have to be a property client of mine to get help with a will, a future power of attorney, a co-ownership agreement or other legal documents.

A legal document is not only about getting the right wording in place. First it is about understanding your situation, what you want, and the choices in front of you.

So we begin with a conversation. I advise you on what is relevant for you specifically, and only then do I draft the document.

Buying a home is a good time to look at a will and a future power of attorney, wherever you are in life. This matters especially if you are not married, or if there are children from earlier relationships. Unmarried partners do not inherit from each other, and the law does not say how the home is to be divided if you separate. A co-ownership agreement and a will are therefore often the most important papers in your purchase.

If the document is part of a property purchase, I look at the same time at how the home, your ownership arrangement and your family situation fit together.

We find the answer together.

"We have been married for more than 40 years, and when we bought our home, future powers of attorney did not exist. Fie made it easy for us to have them made now: she explained everything in language we could understand, and in a short time it was all in place. It is a great reassurance to know that we have it in order, should one of us one day be unable to manage on our own."

If you are moving to Denmark

Confident in your purchase, even when Denmark is new

Buying a home in a new country can be a big decision. Not only because the documents are in Danish, but because the rules, the process and the way we buy and sell property here can be different from what you know.

I advise in both Danish and English, and I help you understand your purchase from every side, from the purchase agreement and the legal documents to the questions that naturally come up along the way.

I explain how a Danish property purchase works step by step: the purchase agreement, the advisor's reservation, the deed and the registration, and whether you need to apply for permission to buy.

I also know what it is like to move to a country where the language and the systems are new, and where a whole family has to find its feet. So there is room for both the big decisions and the small questions that are hard to know you should ask.

You should understand what you sign, even when it is in Danish.

VAbout me

Expertise, presence, and advice at eye level

I am Ann-Sofie Nørby, a buyer's advisor with the Tryghedsmærke quality mark, estate agent MDE and stud. jur. I have worked as an estate agent since 2008. Experience has taught me how much can hide in a transaction, and how differently we as people see what we find.

For me, good advice is not making the decision for you. My job is to find the matters that carry weight, explain them in language you can follow, and put all the relevant facts on the table. To make the complicated understandable, so you know what you are saying yes to.

What is decisive for one buyer need not be for another. What matters is that you know the facts and what they mean, so you can feel your way to the decision that is right for you.

I chose to go independent because I want to combine real expertise with the personal service I believe a property purchase deserves. With me there is time for questions, for an extra explanation, and for picking up the phone when something comes up.

You should know what you are buying, and feel confident in the decision you make.
