Residential areas
Do you dream of a new carport or an extension to your house? Or have you decided to buy your dream home? LE34 has made a list of the most important things you need to know as a private home owner.
Is the property you are buying actually smaller than specified in the property details?
Particulars of sale must include information about lot size, total floor area and dwelling area. These particulars are important to you as a home owner because the rateable value of the property and, therefore, the property value tax are determined based on the floor area of your home registered in the Danish Central Register of Buildings and Dwellings (BBR).
The cadastral and built area registered in the BBR also affects your insurance conditions. If your insurance premium is calculated based on inaccurate information, you may have problems when it comes to payment of damages.
What you can do yourself
It is a good idea to examine the details in the Central Register of Buildings and Dwellings (BBR) closely. We regularly notice that they don’t match the facts. The basement or loft space may not be approved for residential occupancy, or a new tool shed may not be entered in the register.
If the previous owner forgot to report that the basement is fitted out for residential occupancy, you may not receive compensation for contents in the event of flooding or fire. You should check whether the details in the register seem reasonable based on what you can see.
What we can do
If there is any doubt about the cadastral and built area registered in the BBR, a chartered land surveyor can perform a survey of the buildings on the property and, based on the resulting figures, calculate the correct area.
What do you need to know before you sign a purchase contract?
There are rules for the content of a structural survey and particulars of sale when you buy a new house. But there are no rules ensuring that you are notified if the boundary line is incorrect so that you will be paying property value tax on land your neighbour is actually using.
Is the property 100 m2 smaller than specified in the property details? Will you be inheriting a dispute between the former neighbours about the location of the hedge? From a legal point of view, is the carport on the neighbour’s property? Or is there an easement that prevents you from building the extension you have dreamed of? You have no way of knowing this unless you look into it yourself. Therefore, we specialise in identifying these issues so that you can sign the contract with peace of mind. Read our tips and contact us if you would like further details.

Køber du en mindre grund, end der står i salgsopstillingen?
Der er regler for, hvad der skal stå i tilstandsrapporten og i salgsopstillingen, når du køber nyt hus.
Men der er ingen regler, der sikrer, at du får at vide, hvis skellet står forkert, så du kommer til at betale ejendomsværdiskat af et areal, din nabo har glæde af.
Skriv under med ro i maven
Er grunden 100 m2 mindre, end der står i salgsopstillingen? Overtager du en gammel nabostrid om placeringen af hækken? Står carporten rent juridisk på naboens grund eller er der en servitut, som forhindrer dig i at lave den tilbygning, du har drømt om? Det har du ingen chance for at vide, med mindre du aktivt undersøger det.
What we can do
If you are in doubt about the position of the boundary line and the size of the plot, make sure that you have the boundary set out. A land surveyor can help you identify whether the cadastral boundaries are credible.
If the seller is not able to show you the boundary posts, you should ask the advice of a chartered land surveyor – or make the transaction conditional upon setting out boundary posts. This will ensure that you only pay tax on the actual lot size and prevent unpleasant surprises later.

An unsettled dispute about the height of a hedge or the location of a carport or a disagreement about the position of the boundary line ruins good relations with neighbours. If the dialogue between seller and neighbour is deadlocked, you may end up inheriting old conflicts. Your legal position with regard to your neighbour is specified in the rules of the law relating to adjoining properties, which among other things covers boundary lines and hedges. As a rule of thumb, a landowner should not be forced to put up with inconvenience from a neighbouring property.
In addition to the fact that it is unpleasant to inherit an old dispute with your new neighbour, a neighbour’s hostility could put a stop to any plans you may have to use or develop your property. It is therefore a good idea to investigate relations between the seller and his or her closest neighbours before you buy.
Hvad siger reglerne om at bygge til eller om at bygge nyt?
Det er ret ærgerligt at finde ud af, at du ikke kan ombygge dit hus, som du har drømt om, efter du har købt det. Carporte og tilbygninger er ofte højt på ønskelisten, når man flytter i nyt hus. Også her er det vigtigt at have klarhed over, hvad du har ret til på din grund.
Der kan være forskellige byggelinjer og regler om bebyggelsesprocenter, der gør det umuligt at bygge til. For eksempel kan kommunen have reserveret de første fem meter af din grund ud mod vejen til eventuelle fremtidige udvidelser af vejen. Måske bliver vejen aldrig udvidet, men reglen forhindrer dig med sikkerhed i at placere en tilbygning på den side af huset, der vender ud mod vejen. Naturbeskyttelsesloven indeholder også regler, der kan have betydning for, hvor du må bygge på din grund.
What we can do
LE34 can help localise the easements on your property to provide you with an overview of utilities’ locations and to advise you on how to address the easements. Private individuals may find the rules difficult to interpret and, as a landowner, you have a legal responsibility to comply with rules laid down by the easements.
If you wish to establish an easement on your property, we can produce the property plans for “E-rids” (Danish digital cadastral plans) as part of the digital property registration.
