  • The house is from 1968 and has one critical finding: cracked and missing roof slates.
  • The fuse board has loose connections with signs of overheating, a real fire risk.

  • Expect 54,000 to 137,000 DKK for the critical and serious findings.
  • The 14 m² sunroom is not registered in BBR.

Do this before you sign

  1. Get a roofer's quote for the roof.
  2. Book a drain camera inspection (3,000 to 5,000 DKK).
  3. Ask the seller to fix the fuse board before handover, or have it deducted from the price.

What the report does not cover

The inspection is visual. These things were not examined in your house. Here is what you can do, and roughly what it costs:

  • Underground drains

    Why Not part of the standard inspection

    Check Drain camera inspection, 3,000 to 5,000 DKK

  • Loft above first floor

    Why No access during the inspection

    Check A second look at the loft, 1,500 to 2,500 DKK

  • Fibre cement and joints from before 1980

    Why The house is from 1968. Asbestos may be present.

    Check Asbestos test before renovating, 3,000 to 6,000 DKK

  • Radon in indoor air

    Why Not measured in the inspection

    Check Radon measurement over 2 months, 500 to 1,000 DKK

Questions for the seller and agent

Based on your findings and the address data. Copy them into an email to the agent.

  1. When was the roof last repaired, and do you have receipts?
  2. Has there been water in the loft or stains on the ceiling?
  3. Have the drains ever been camera-inspected? Can we see the report?
  4. How long has there been a drain smell in the utility room?
  5. When was the bathroom built, and is there a membrane behind the tiles?
  6. Has the crack in the north gable been there long, and has it grown?
  7. Is the sunroom approved by the municipality? Why is it not in BBR?
  8. BBR says natural gas, the report says district heating. When did it change?
  9. Will you fix the faults in the fuse board before handover?
  10. Can the price be adjusted for the roof and drains if the inspections show damage?

Home buyer's insurance

Home buyer's insurance (ejerskifteforsikring) usually does not cover damage already listed in the condition report or the electrical report. The findings above are therefore usually your own cost, whatever insurance you take. Matters not examined may be covered depending on the policy. Read the policy terms and ask the insurer before you sign.

Method and limitations

Findings are read from your reports with AI and shown with the report's own text. Grades are read from the report and mapped to one scale by fixed rules. Verdict, counts and amounts are computed by code, not by AI. Cost estimates build on Tjekhuset's price table and are ranges, not quotes. Public data comes from Datafordeler (DAR, MAT, BBR), Danmarks Miljøportal, Plandata and Kystdirektoratet, dated at every item. Tjekhuset is not building or legal advice and not a recommendation to buy or not buy.
