Boligadvokat24 Reviews 804

I originally paid boligadvokat24 to review a proposed sales agreement (købesaftaler) for the sale of my house - the sale was unusual in that I was only selling my share of the house (50%). The lawyer from Boligadvokat24 reviewed the document and advised me strongly against signing because the document made no mention of an offer of paying 50% of ejerskifteforsikring (ownership change insurance) which would mean that I would be liable for structural issues to the house for the next 10 years.

I thanked the lawyer for their advice, and agreed to pay boligadvokat24 to create a more “professional” sales agreement.

I provided the information that was requested and was contacted by a second lawyer from Boligadvokat24 who provided a draft "with still a couple of things to fix up"... There were over 20 errors in the contract (I had to make a 4 page pdf explaining all of the errors and the corrections needed) including:
- The addresses were messed up so the contract stated that the buyer was purchasing their own property, not mine!
- The long form version of the purchase price was incorrect

The next day I wrote back with an explanation of all the errors.. but I never heard from the second lawyer again. The first lawyer contacted me and said that the second lawyer had left the company suddenly. The first lawyer was apologetic and said he would get the contract fixed up and make things right.

After some delays and several late night phone calls to say he was working on it, the first lawyer wrote back with a 2nd version. He hadn’t had time to get to all of my comments which was annoying because I had to cross-corelate and find which changes had been made and which were not. The contract was much better, I only had a few comments. Two days later the lawyer provided a 3rd version but by this point the purchaser has lost all faith in the ability of boligadvokat24 to make a correct legal contract and I could not defend them. The purchaser found their own lawyer to make a new contract. The lawyer from Boligadvokat24 agreed that he will support me in reviewing the new contract after it gets made - which was good of him.

After the new contract is made the lawyer from Boligadvokat24 completed a review and advised me: don’t sign it as it was still missing the offer of paying 50% ejerskifteforsikring which will give me liability for the next 10 years!

There are a couple of arguments with the purchaser's lawyer who said that in this case that it is not possible to get ejerskifteforsikring. the lawyer from Boligadvokat24 finally talked to the other lawyer and then said... ejerskifteforsikring is maybe NOT possible to get in this case as one of the owners of the house is staying in the house and has knowledge of the house and any potential defects. I should therefore “ring around” some insurance companies and see if any will provide ejerskifteforsikring in this case… Is this the sort of professional advice I am paying for?!

I rung up a couple of insurance companies and they all confirmed that they will not provide ejerskifteforsikring in this situation. Now I am mad. The whole reason that I got Boligadvokat24 involved in the first place was because they advised me that I had to make an offer of paying 50% for ejerskifteforsikring and it is not even possible to get that. I am also worried because I don’t know if I have potential liability now?

In the end I just closed my eyes and signed the purchaser’s contract blindly as I was out of time.

Positive Points: All three of the legal secretaries that I dealt with from boligadvokat24 were very professional and organised. But I am paying for a professional lawyer, not the secretaries.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Boligadvokat24, when I sold my apartment and decided to rent temporarily. They were very professional throughout. Julian Jensen even helped me look over and make amendments to the rental contract for my new place, so he made sure it was a smooth transition.
Julian is very knowledgeable and it was a wonderful experience working with him. He goes the extra mile to satisfy the customer.

Not recommended. The best choice I could do was to do the opposite I was advised...

provided a very poor service in comparison to the price. Not recommended. I indicated the name of the advocate but trustpilot and the business forced me to remove the name. I do not think my review would be accurate enough by removing the name of the lawyer but I do it anyway. Stay away from them :-)

Bought a house, and they went through all the paper work, helped us with some issues after.
No problems, nice and helpful people

Usually are very fast in replying to the questions, and easy reachable on the phone. Explained the nuances which I did not understand in Danish. Good experience.

We used Boligadvokat24 to help purchase our 1st house in Denmark. As a U.S. Citizen and not being able to read/speak Danish, buying a home here can be quite intimidating. Boligadvokat24 basically "handheld" me through the entire process....literally every step along the way. They were highly thorough and extremely flexible in walking me through (even translating) the many legal documents. They provided us a full suite of services (sales contract, negotiate terms and conditions, deed filing, Danish Ministry of Justice filing (for non-Danes buying property)), all in at very reasonable price. I cannot say enough on how EASY Boligadvokat24 was to work with and how 'stress free' they made the entire process!

Take note, you will not have a live face-to-face meeting with your lawyer. Everything is done on the phone and email. If this is important to you, you can ask if they will meet live. Honestly, I don't think this was needed. Instead, you will be assigned a case manager (not necessarily a lawyer) who will be your single point of contact. My contact was Elena Vinther. Elena is a ROCKSTAR!!! She was extremely helpful and responded to all my questions within a day (usually, same day). When she needed to bring in a lawyer, she did. Working with the lawyers were as pleasant as working with Elena.

I can go on and on about the very POSITIVE experience I had with Boligadvokat24. I hope you have the same experience I did.

Amazing help and support all through our case: advice over the email and prompt response over the telephone ; they assisted us with buying the flat in various aspects: from mortgage questions (although not in scope) to documentation and outstanding balances - all at affordable prices and entirely in English (thanks Elena V)

Boligadvokat24 has provided a lot of prompt and friendly assistance throughout the process of purchasing an apartment. They helped us navigate out of one undesirable apartment purchase, and have provided invaluable peace of mind. I would highly recommend their services.

They know exactly what they're doing. They read all the documents and find even the smallest detail. They found out that the broker was cheating with some info.
They speak good English so we didn't have any communication issue !
Thanks to Cille for being very helpful!

I had a good experience with Boligadvokat24. They responded to my email inquiries and returned my calls in a timely manner. Price for service is very reasonable.

God service...

didn't deliver

I´d highly recommend Boligadvokat24 for everyone, who has no previous experience with lawyers and buying apartments. They were very helpful, patient and available. It really helped for us, non-danish speakers, that we could contact them any time by phone or mail, we got quick response and everything explained also in English. We will not hesitate to contact them, if we need help again.

I had a satisfactory experience dealing with Jesper Graf and his team, in connction with my apartment purchase. The most important aspect of the service was Advokatforbehold, where Jesper helped me get adequate time from Danbolig to decide on the apartment.
