Buying a home at a forced sale auction – Get legal advice and avoid pitfalls

A purchase of real estate at a forced sale auction can be a good deal, but it also involves risks. Without the right advice, unforeseen costs and legal complications may make the purchase more expensive than you expected.

As attorneys for Denmark’s largest mortgage credit institutions, we have daily experience with forced sale auctions and property transactions. We ensure that you are legally and financially prepared to complete a safe and advantageous auction purchase.

Legal advice before, during and after the forced sale auction

Before your purchase, we can assist, for example, by reviewing the auction documentation. We advise you on the property’s circumstances, including the legal and financial implications of an auction purchase. We help you calculate the amount you must pay in addition to the bid price, the so-called “maximum amount”. This amount consists of arrears owed to utility providers, insurance, and the costs of the party requesting the auction sale, i.e., fees and out-of-pocket expenses.

If you wish, we will of course attend the forced sale auction with you and will subsequently be available to assist with any eviction of the former owner, as well as obtaining and preparing the necessary documents for the auction purchase.

We advise and assist you with:

  • Review of the property’s circumstances, including the legal and financial implications of an auction purchase.
  • Preparing you for the auction itself. We also attend in person.
  • Any eviction of the former owner, as well as obtaining and preparing the necessary documents to ensure that the auction purchase can also be legally effected, including registration of the auction deed.

 

 

Avoid unforeseen costs – get specialist advice

Buying a home at a forced sale auction requires insight into the property’s condition, financial circumstances, and legal encumbrances. Without the right advice, you may risk unexpected expenses and complex legal disputes.

At DreistStorgaard Advokater, we ensure that you make the right decision – before, during, and after the auction.
