Buying in Denmark: buyers pay registration fees for the title deed and any mortgage, and it is common to hire your own buyer's adviser or lawyer to check the paperwork. People who are not Danish residents may need permission from the Ministry of Justice to buy, although EU citizens can often buy a home they will live in permanently. Danish mortgage lending to non-residents is limited, so check financing early.
