Document background
The House Contract is a fundamental legal document used in Danish residential property transactions, essential for both private and commercial property transfers in Denmark. It serves as the primary agreement documenting the terms and conditions of property sale, incorporating specific requirements under Danish law such as the Danish Purchase Act (Købeloven) and Registration of Property Act (Tinglysningsloven). This document is typically used when transferring ownership of houses, apartments, or residential properties, requiring input from various stakeholders including real estate agents, lawyers, and financial institutions. The contract must address mandatory Danish requirements including energy certificates, property condition reports, and land registry details, while also covering financial terms, transfer conditions, and both parties' obligations. Its structure and content are specifically designed to comply with Danish property law and protect both buyers' and sellers' interests in the transaction.
