Legal Advice When Buying a Home

Feel safe and protected – from first signature to final registration.

Why Legal Advice Matters

Buying a home is a big investment – and a complex legal process.
Most buyers don’t know:

  • The estate agent represents the seller – not you

  • Without a legal reservation, cancelling the deal can cost you 1% of the home’s price

  • Legal pitfalls in contracts can restrict your rights or become costly surprises

💡 Legal advice isn’t required – but it can save you far more than it costs.

What’s Included

Our legal advisors provide:

  • Review and approval of the purchase agreement
  • Communication with bank and estate agent
  • Preparation and registration of the deed
  • Settlement statement (refusionsopgørelse)

You can also get help with:
– Co-ownership contracts
– Prenuptial agreements
– Wills (testamente)

💡 These may not be top of mind during a home purchase – but they can prevent big challenges later.

Which legal adviser should you choose?

Most buyers first contact a legal adviser at the end of the process. But at Bomae, we recommend getting help early, to ensure a safe, smart deal — from financing to deed registration.
We specialize in real estate law and provide clear, buyer-focused legal advice at every step.

How much does legal advice cost?


Our standard legal review is included:

  • Review and approval of all legal documents

  • Registration of the deed

  • Coordination with bank and estate agent

  • Advice on ownership structure (e.g. prenuptial or co-ownership contracts)

Personal Legal Advice You Didn’t Know You Needed

Buying with a partner? Living together unmarried? Our legal advisers can help you with:

  • Co-ownership agreements

  • Wills and prenuptial agreements

  • Other documents that protect your home and your future

Why Legal Advice Is Worth It

You’re investing millions — don’t risk losing 1% of the purchase price just because a legal reservation was missing.

And remember: the estate agent represents the seller – not you.

A legal adviser ensures your interests are protected — not just assumed.

Peace of Mind During the Deed Process

Letting the seller’s agent handle the deed? That means they control when your payment is released.

With Bomae, you stay in control. We manage the deed registration and coordinate the payment release — ensuring everything runs smoothly, with no surprises.

At Bomae, legal advice for a home purchase typically costs DKK 7,495.
This includes:

  • Review and approval of all legal documents

  • Coordination with your bank and the estate agent

  • Registration of the deed and settlement statement
    We also offer personal advice on co-ownership, prenuptial agreements, and more.

A buyer adviser helps you with negotiation and overall strategy.
A legal adviser ensures your legal rights are protected and handles the paperwork.
At Bomae, we offer both, so you don’t have to coordinate between providers.

No. Since 2015, it’s been against the law for estate agents to represent both parties. They work for the seller. We work for you.
