Hi everyone,
This is Andrea from Wisconsin. I'm an attorney now and have been one for over 15 years, but I'm walking away from my career and leaving my good job behind because I want my kids to grow up in a country that, well, is more in line with the values that my husband and I have (education, gun control, relative wealth equality, a decent safety net for the disabled, no national debt, very little political corruption, etc.).
My husband and I are coming under the greencard scheme in April. We have received our approval, have purchased our plane tickets, and have arranged for temporary housing for our first six weeks there, via Airbnb.com. After that, we need to have somewhere else to live.
We have enough money saved to buy a small house in a more rural area without taking out a loan. There is no way we could afford to buy in Copenhagen without taking out a loan, but some of these slightly dilapidated but structurally sound rural houses are incredibly inexpensive if one is capable of doing one's own construction work.
Anyway, we have been looking at real estate on the internet and have questions regarding the meaning of some words. What are Brutto and Netto? What fees and costs are included in Udbetaling? Who traditionally pays the Udbetaling, the buyer or the seller?
Why would a property have a Offentlig ejendomsværdi of 490.000 dkr but an offering price of 94.000 dkr?
Does the seller have to disclose if there has been past mold in the property? Does the seller have to disclose if there has been a leak of toxic substances on the property?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Andrea
