The purchase agreement is the document that legally binds you to the transaction.
It contains terms, deadlines, and obligations that may have significant financial and legal implications for you.
Many people find it difficult to fully understand what they are actually signing.
Are there any risk factors? Are important reservations missing? Are all terms reasonable and correctly drafted?
I conduct a thorough review of the purchase agreement and assess it in the context of the other documents related to the transaction. You will receive a clear and honest explanation in straightforward language — along with advice on any adjustments that may be necessary before you approve the transaction.
My goal is simple:
For you to sign with confidence and complete peace of mind.
A property transaction involves far more than just the purchase agreement.
The building inspection report, electrical inspection report, easements, local development plans, homeowners’ association documents, and many other documents may have significant implications for both your decision and your finances.
It can be difficult to assess what is truly important and which matters may involve a risk.
I review all relevant documents and highlight the issues you should pay particular attention to. You will receive a clear explanation of what the documents mean in practice – and how they may affect you as the future owner.
The goal is for you to make your decision on a well-informed and secure basis.
Contractual reservations are your safeguard in a property transaction.
They give you the opportunity to withdraw or renegotiate if circumstances arise that do not meet your expectations or assumptions.
However, reservations must be drafted correctly.
If they are unclear or too broad, they may lose their effect — and in the worst case, create a false sense of security.
I prepare the necessary contractual reservations with precise legal wording and tailor them specifically to your transaction. In this way, you are genuinely protected until all matters have been fully clarified.
The goal is simple:
For you to feel secure – even if circumstances change along the way.
A property transaction involves multiple parties – and it is essential that communication remains clear and accurate throughout the process. Misunderstandings or unresolved issues can create unnecessary pressure and, in the worst case, delay the transaction.
I handle the communication with both the real estate agent and the involved banks, ensuring that all legal and financial matters are managed correctly and in a timely manner.
You avoid having to deal with technical questions and complex wording on your own – and can instead focus on making the right decision.
My goal is a smooth process in which your interests are professionally safeguarded at every stage.
Once the transaction is finalised, the transfer of ownership must be properly registered.
The deed is the document that officially transfers the property to you – and it must be prepared and registered accurately to avoid errors or delays.
I prepare the deed and ensure its proper registration with the Land Registry, so that the transfer of ownership is completed in a timely manner and in accordance with the agreement.
You receive a secure and professional completion of the transaction – with all formalities correctly handled.
At completion, expenses and income must be properly allocated between you and the seller. This includes property taxes, shared expenses, insurance, and any prepaid items.
The completion statement must be precise – otherwise, you may end up paying too much or receiving too little.
I prepare the completion statement and ensure that all amounts are calculated accurately as of the completion date, so that the financial settlement between you and the seller is fair and properly documented.
This ensures a proper and secure conclusion to the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a buyer advisor?
You need a buyer advisor to ensure that all legal matters are properly handled when buying or selling property in Denmark. A buyer advisor is an independent and impartial legal advisor who specialises specifically in property transactions.
A buyer advisor ensures that the transaction is carried out in compliance with the law, helping you avoid unnecessary costs and unpleasant surprises when buying or selling a property. A property transaction is often complex and may involve numerous conditions and potential pitfalls.
A buyer advisor also protects you from entering into an agreement that is unfair or disproportionately in favour of the other party.
When you have had a buyer advisor involved in your case, and the purchase agreement has been prepared and signed and your deed has been registered, you can feel confident that the legal documentation is in order when buying or selling property.
What does a buyer advisor do?
A buyer advisor’s primary task is to review purchase agreements. Anyone considering buying a property should engage a buyer advisor.
When purchasing property in Denmark, you are always required to sign a purchase agreement. I review this agreement to ensure that everything is legally in order.
In addition, a buyer advisor reviews all documents and matters forming the basis of the transaction, including the purchase agreement, building inspection report, energy performance certificate, title insurance, homeowners’ association bylaws, easements, and much more.
What does a buyer advisor cost?
The price of a buyer advisor can vary significantly. Some advisors work with fixed fees, while others charge by the hour. Fixed fees often range between DKK 3,500 and DKK 14,000 incl. VAT.
At JK Køberrådgivning ApS, you can receive assistance from DKK 3,500 incl. VAT per transaction.
Contractual reservations - what are they?
Contractual reservations are highly important when signing a purchase agreement in connection with a property purchase. When you are about to buy a property, you will often experience pressure from the real estate agent to sign the purchase agreement quickly.
If you are under time pressure and have not yet had a buyer advisor review the agreement and the property’s other documents, we at JK Køberrådgivning ApS always recommend including an advisor reservation clause in your purchase agreement. This protects you and ensures that you are not legally bound by the agreement if your buyer advisor identifies any unpleasant surprises.
As a buyer, this gives you an additional opportunity to thoroughly review the transaction with your buyer advisor before the agreement becomes final.
How does a property transaction proceed with JK Køberrådgivning ApS?
As soon as the case documents are received from the real estate agent, the deadline for any contractual reservations is coordinated with the agent, and I begin my review of the transaction.
We go through my comments well in advance of the deadline, ensuring that you as the buyer have sufficient time to consider the implications of my observations.
Following our review, I send an approval letter to the real estate agent, approving the transaction on your behalf, including any amendments to the purchase agreement and/or contractual reservations – for example, subject to the bank’s final approval.
Once all reservations have been clarified and fulfilled, I confirm the transaction as final, at which point it becomes legally binding for both you and the seller.
The formal process of preparing the deed and registering it with the Land Registry can then begin.
