The price is mid-market, but a house with a worn asbestos roof and two red defects has stood for over a year
A one-storey brick villa with a large plot, an updated interior and valid, recent reports: the condition report (tilstandsrapport) dated 14 August 2026, the electrical report dated 14 August 2026 and the 2025 energy label. The asking price is 2,492,000 kr (15,195 kr/m²). That is almost the median of 18 villas from 1964-1974 sold in 9220 (15,253 kr/m², calculation, n=18), so the price is not inflated against sales, but the house has been on the market for 431 days with no cut, when the typical time in the area is about 104 days. The tilstandsrapport lists 2 red, 7 yellow and 6 grey defects: rot in the timber parts of the garage roof (short term), loose tiles in the wet zone of the small bathroom, cracks and joints in the facade, and a worn asbestos roof surface with signs of cleaning and painting. The electrics are clean on risk categories (only 2 minor "unlawful" items), but the seller's answers about the electrics and alterations contradict the seller's own entries in the tilstandsrapport. Indicative market corridor 2.25-2.55m kr, medium confidence. Bid only after checking the roof, the legality of the garage room and the ownership history.
Strengths
- Recent, valid reports. The tilstandsrapport is valid until 14 February 2027, the electrical report until 14 August 2027, energy label C until 2035 tilstandsrapport p. 1 elrapport p. 1 energimærke p. 1.
- Electrics with no shock or fire risks. The report has only 2 "unlawful" minor items: loose cable entries in the fuse board and unfastened cables in the loft elrapport p. 6.
- Daily needs nearby. A discount supermarket about 50 m away, a bus about 70 m away, a school 0.9-1 km away, very low flood and radon risk danskadresseapi, Boligsiden.
Main questions
- Roof. Asbestos cement from 1969, surface worn, the sheets were cleaned and painted, and sludge lies in streaks on the loft insulation tilstandsrapport p. 12, 14.
- Garage turned into living space. A room was made in the garage, in BBR it is still a garage, and the seller answered "no" to the question about alterations tilstandsrapport p. 10, 17.
- Market. 431 days, zero cuts, while other long listings have already lowered the price Boliga.
What would change this conclusion. A permit for the garage room or the seller's willingness to obtain one, a specialist opinion that the roof will last another 15 years and the sludge has been removed, documents on who did the 2015 electrical work, and a price closer to 2.3-2.4m kr would raise the rating to "Acceptable".
Eight signals worth knowing in advance
The listing says "rummelig og velholdt" ("spacious and well kept") and "badeværelserne er i top" ("the bathrooms are top class"). The documents show a more complicated picture.
The garage was turned into a room, but in BBR it is still a garage
Tilstandsrapport: "Garage er inddraget til beboelse", and a disponibelt rum (extra room) was made in the garage tilstandsrapport p. 10. In the photos it is a home gym salgsopstilling p. 1c. The electrician wrote "Garage: Er lagt sammen med bolig" elrapport p. 5, and the energy label counts a heated area of 180 m² against 164 m² in BBR and expressly reminds that the owner must notify the municipality energimærke p. 9. In BBR it is a 31 m² garage Boligsiden. The seller answered "Nej" to "ombygninger" (alterations) tilstandsrapport p. 17. For you this means: the bank and the valuation count 164 m², not ~190, and without a change-of-use permit the municipality can require legalisation or reversal. Even with valid reports, the seller remains liable for unlawful alterations tilstandsrapport p. 23.
431 days and not one price cut
Listed on 31 July 2025 at 2,492,000 kr, price change 0 kr, while the average time in the area is 104 days Boliga. Of 20 villas for sale in 9220, six have been listed for 330 days or longer, and at least four of them have already cut the price by 1-15% Boliga calculation. Two similar villas from 1970-1972 that have been listed for 330-365 days have already cut the price by 7% and 15%, while here there were no cuts. There was an earlier listing too, in June 2015 at 1,700,000 kr, withdrawn from sale Boligsiden.
Asbestos roof: worn surface, sheets cleaned and painted
An eternit roof (corrugated asbestos-cement sheets) from 1969, with a table service life until 2049 tilstandsrapport p. 8. Defect no. 2: "nedslidt overfladebehandling" (worn surface treatment), risk of leaks tilstandsrapport p. 12. Defect no. 12: the sheets were "renset og malet" (cleaned and painted), and sludge from the cleaning reached the loft in streaks on the insulation and may contain asbestos tilstandsrapport p. 14. High-pressure washing of asbestos roofs is allowed only until 1 July 2026 and banned after that Dansk Industri. It is not known when or by whom the roof was cleaned, and in the photos the roof looks freshly painted in a reddish brown salgsopstilling p. 1. Replacing an asbestos roof costs about 2,600 kr/m² DI, March 2026.
The salgsopstilling only mentions a "rødt hus"
In the salgsopstilling (sales brochure): "tilstandsrapport med forhold karakteriseret rødt hus" salgsopstilling p. 3. We read the icons on the report pages: 2 red, 7 yellow and 6 grey defects tilstandsrapport p. 12-15. The yellow (serious) defects are not mentioned in that line. This is not an error but an incomplete sentence, yet for a buyer seven yellow items weigh as much as the red ones.
The electrics are clean on paper, but the history is contradictory
Salgsopstilling: the electrical report has no items of "risiko for stød" (shock risk), "risiko for brand" (fire risk) or "undersøges nærmere" (to be investigated further). That is true: only 2 "ulovlig" (unlawful) items elrapport p. 6. But in the tilstandsrapport the seller writes that "nyt el i hele huset" was done in late 2015 by the owner, "som er uddannet elektriker" tilstandsrapport p. 17, and to the electrician's question about "changes or work without authorisation" the answer was "Nej" elrapport p. 4. The report is a sample check, so wiring not done by an authorised firm should be checked separately.
The seller's actual figure is 38% below the label calculation
The 2025 label calculates 27,000 kr a year (23,700 kWh × 0.99 kr + a fixed charge of 3,488 kr) energimærke p. 1, 6 calculation. The seller: actually 16,700 kr for 01.08.2023-31.07.2024 salgsopstilling p. 3. The difference is -38%, but the figure is over two years old and not backed by bills. The "Forbrug" field shows 0 because of an error in the new layout.
Wet zone: tiles coming loose, and the owner did the repair
Defect no. 11 is red: the floor and wall tiles of the small bathroom have "mangelfuld vedhæftning" (poor adhesion) in the wet zone, with a risk of damage to the structure tilstandsrapport p. 14. The seller wrote about one cracked and one loose tile tilstandsrapport p. 19. The salgsopstilling says one bathroom was renovated in 2015 and the larger one in 2017, while in the tilstandsrapport everything was "lavet i slut 2015" salgsopstilling p. 1 tilstandsrapport p. 17. The owner did everything except the underfloor heating.
Road noise of 60-64 dB and a plot "lettere forurenet"
Traffic noise of 60-64 dB in the daytime, above the 58 dB guideline danskadresseapi. Salgsopstilling: the plot is in a "lettere forurenet" (slightly polluted, in the city's classification) zone salgsopstilling p. 5, while the pollution map shows no marking danskadresseapi. This is a general classification, not a separate finding, but the seller stays responsible for soil pollution even after the huseftersyn (house inspection) tilstandsrapport p. 23.
Score across six categories
All four main documents are present and valid, so we score every category. Colours: red below 40, yellow 40-59, green 60 and above.
| Category | Weight | Score | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | 25% | 45 | At the median of sales (15,195 against 15,253 kr/m²), but the set of condition problems is not reflected in the median, and the price is 16% above the public valuation. |
| Condition | 20% | 35 | 2 red, 7 yellow defects, an asbestos roof with signs of cleaning, loft inspected only from the hatch. |
| Area | 20% | 55 | Everything is nearby and the water and radon risks are low, but there is 60-64 dB of noise and the school scores are average. |
| Liquidity | 15% | 15 | 431 days against a typical 104, with no price cut. |
| Repair risk | 10% | 25 | Roof reserve of 520,000-700,000 kr, rotten timber, wet zone, garage room not legalised. |
| Documents | 10% | 65 | A full set, everything valid, but the seller's answers contradict the reports, and the garage year in the tilstandsrapport is "1000". |

What a house like this could cost today (a guide, not a valuation)
History. Listed on 31 July 2025 at 2,492,000 kr (15,195 kr/m²), no price change, 431 days Boliga. Before that there was a listing in June 2015 at 1,700,000 kr, which was withdrawn from sale Boligsiden. The last open-market sale in the registers, June 2020 at 1,803,000 kr, means the current price is 38% higher Boliga calculation. There is a contradiction here: in the tilstandsrapport the seller writes "11 years of ownership" and "living here since December 2015" tilstandsrapport p. 16. Either the 2020 sale was unusual, or there was a change of co-owners. We do not know the reason, and the ownership entry on tinglysning.dk will show it. The public valuation for 2024 is 2,155,000 kr (this figure is not a market price), and an older valuation on Boliga from 10.2022 was 1,302,000 kr salgsopstilling p. 2 Boliga.

Tilstandsrapport, inspected on 14 August 2026, valid until 14 February 2027 (132 days left), so it is valid now tilstandsrapport p. 1, 24. We read the icons from the pages as images, not from the text tilstandsrapport p. 12-15. The loft was inspected only from the hatch because access is unsafe, so the condition of the roof from the inside is not fully checked tilstandsrapport p. 9. The carport was excluded from the inspection tilstandsrapport p. 9.
| Type | What | What follows |
|---|---|---|
| Red 2 | No. 11 wet zone of the small bathroom, tiles with poor adhesion. No. 14 garage: early rot in the bargeboards on both sides, "short term" (about 2 years) | No. 11: water can get behind the tiles and into the structure, opening up is needed, 30,000-90,000 kr.

No. 12 sludge from roof cleaning on the loft insulation. No. 13 extractor from the utility room (bryggers) ends in the loft. No. 15 porous joints in the garage | Minimal risk in the expert's assessment, but no. 12 calls for care: the sludge may contain asbestos, and only an authorised firm should remove it tilstandsrapport p. 14 |

The life estimate comes from a table (until 2049), not from an inspection of the roof tilstandsrapport p. 8. Painting an asbestos roof is done only by firms with approved equipment Bolius.

What the pictures show and what follows
Basis: all the pages of the agent's brochure with photos that we opened and examined (cover, text with a picture, interiors, street and garden, plan). These are the agent's photos, not an independent inspection.
| Element | What is visible | What follows |
|---|---|---|
| Roof | Reddish brown, evenly painted, with a chimney and timber bargeboards, moderate pitch salgsopstilling p. 1, 1d | The colour is uniform and looks like fresh paint. This matches the tilstandsrapport on cleaning and painting. The material cannot be identified from the photo, a specialist opinion is needed |
| Facade | Red brick, white timber windows, a light facade on the garage room on the driveway side, a timber shed at the end salgsopstilling p. 1, 1d | The windows and doors on the west and east sides should be checked for rot in the lower part (defects no. 7-8) |
| Terrace and garden | A large timber terrace, a large lawn, a hedge, a swing salgsopstilling p. 1d | More upkeep, and the terrace timber needs oil or paint |
| Kitchen and living room | White cabinets, dark worktops, tiles on the kitchen floor, a light floor in the living room, what looks like glass blocks by the kitchen window salgsopstilling p. 1a | Tidy, but not new. The wall cracks in the orchid room that the seller writes about are not visible in the photo tilstandsrapport p. 18 |
| Bathrooms | One modern, with a white basin and a glass shower screen, the other with white tiles and a curtain salgsopstilling p. 1b, 1c | From the photos you cannot tell the "large" one from the "small" one in the report, so it is unclear where exactly the tiles are coming off |
| Disponibelt rum | A sports room, acoustic ceiling, a window, a carpet salgsopstilling p. 1c | This is the former garage, see signal 1. Ask about the permit, the window requirements and fire safety |
| Carport | A timber carport by a brick wall, paving underfoot salgsopstilling p. 1c | Excluded from the tilstandsrapport inspection, its condition is unknown |

- Schools (two sources). The nearest school is 915 m away (Boligsiden) and about 1 km away (danskadresseapi), wellbeing 3.6 out of 6, average grade 6.5 out of 12. The second is 1.8 km away (3.6 and 6.7), the third 3.0 km away (3.7 and 7.7) Boligsiden, danskadresseapi. We did not check the walking route or the road crossings, so do that on site. There are no central ratings for kindergartens.
- Noise. Traffic noise of 60-64 dB in the daytime, above the 58 dB guideline danskadresseapi. Judge it in the garden and bedrooms by day and in the evening.
- Environment. Radon is very low, in class 1 for the municipality (0.3-1.0%) Boligsiden tilstandsrapport p. 7. Rising groundwater, cloudbursts, sea-level rise and river flooding are not expected Boligsiden. Soil pollution is not marked, but the salgsopstilling says "lettere forurenet" under the city classification salgsopstilling p. 5. This is not a conflict: the first is a map, the second a general zone label.
- Plans. The plot is in an urban zone, in a residential frame of the municipal plan salgsopstilling p. 2. There are no servitutter, but check tinglysning.dk as well. We did not open the municipal plans through the second route (Plandata).
- Shared costs. Mandatory membership of the grundejerforening. As a tax reform is under way, its fee may change salgsopstilling p. 5.
- Liquidity. There were 18 sales of 1964-1974 houses in 12 months (about 1.5 a month), but this house has been on the market for 431 days with no price cut Boliga calculation.
District heating: the seller's actual figure is 38% below the label calculation
Heating: fjernvarme, no supplementary heating, radiators and underfloor heating, thermostats and room sensors are in place energimærke p. 6, 12. Label C on the title page, valid from 25 July 2025 to 25 July 2035 (about 8.8 years left). The letter C is visible in the table on the title page, while a stray "D" in the report text belongs to the scale energimærke p. 1.

| Source | Per year | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Label calculation (2025) | 27,000 kr | 23,700 kWh × 0.99 kr + a fixed charge of 3,488 kr, standard conditions (20 degrees, an average family) energimærke p. 1, 5, 6 calculation |
| Seller, actual | 16,700 kr | Period 01.08.2023-31.07.2024, so over two years ago, no bills salgsopstilling p. 3 |
| Difference | -10,300 kr, -38% | If the 16,700 includes the fixed charge, the variable part is about 13,200 kr, i.e. about 13,300 kWh, 44% lower than the label calculates calculation |
The difference may be explained by a lower-than-standard indoor temperature, a smaller household, a higher tariff in the label calculation or, conversely, tariff rises after 2024. We did not find the local district heating tariff through two routes (tariff search, DinGeo), so we do not confirm the 0.99 kr per kWh price. For your budget allow a range of 17,000-27,000 kr a year until you see three bills in kWh.
Label suggestions. Solar panels: a saving of 2,500 kr a year for 29,000 kr, payback about 11.6 years. Extra loft insulation of 100 mm: a saving of 1,000 kr a year energimærke p. 2, 3. The label itself asks you to check whether the roof can carry the panels, and an asbestos roof needs a special approach. On the title page the label says the owner "overpays" by 2,500 kr a year, and that is only the effect of solar panels, the one profitable suggestion energimærke p. 1.

The asking price is only the tip
| When | What | Range, kr |
|---|---|---|
| Now | Roof inspection by an asbestos specialist, a sample of the sludge in the loft (a few hundred kr) | price on request |
| Legalising the garage room (drawings, application, possible requirements for windows and insulation) estimate | 15,000-60,000 | |
| Minor electrics (2 items in the report) and a check of the 2015 wiring estimate | 3,000-10,000 | |
| 1-3 years | Wet zone of the small bathroom (opening up, new waterproofing and tiles) estimate | 30,000-90,000 |
| Timber parts of the roof and garage (bargeboards, lower battens), facade joints and brick estimate | 25,000-80,000 | |
| Windows and doors with defects no. 7-8 estimate | 15,000-50,000 | |
| Major | Replacing the asbestos roof: 200-270 m² × about 2,600 kr/m² DI March 2026 area estimated | 520,000-700,000 |
| Replacing the garage roofing, terrace, painting estimate | price on request |
The range for the roof reflects that the roof area is estimated from the plan, not measured, and the price per m² is approximate. For the garage room the spread is 4 times, because the cost depends on what the municipality will require. For the electrics and the bathroom the spreads are 3-4 times, because everything depends on opening up.
How the house behaves financially
- Liquidity on resale. A house with a known history (431 days on the market, an asbestos roof, a garage room without a permit) will be harder for you to sell too. A legalised garage and an opinion on the roof will improve liquidity estimate.
- The asbestos roof as an asset. A table life until 2049, i.e. about 23 years, but the real one depends on condition and cleaning. Asbestos work has been done only by authorised firms since 1 January 2025 tilstandsrapport p. 8 Bolius.
- Heating. Fjernvarme at municipal tariffs, the label does not recommend a heat pump. Check with the municipality whether there is an obligation to connect, as the salgsopstilling lists no servitutter energimærke p. 12.
- The 1,037 m² plot. A plus for a family, and also more upkeep of the garden and terrace.
- Bank. A mortgage is counted from 164 m² and BBR. The bank may not count the room in the garage estimate.
- Tax. Selling your own home where you live is usually not subject to capital gains tax check with a tax adviser.
Negotiating arguments and questions for the seller
Arguments (analysis, not a promise of a discount): 431 days with no price cut; 2 red and 7 yellow defects not covered by ejerskifteforsikring; an asbestos roof with a wearing surface and sludge in the loft; a garage room with no entry in BBR; seller's answers that contradict the reports; noise above the guideline; a corridor of 2.25-2.55m kr.
- Is there a permit and a change of use for turning the garage into a living room, and why does the tilstandsrapport say "ombygninger: Nej"?
- Who cleaned and painted the roof, when and with what, and are there invoices and documents on handling the asbestos?
- Was the sludge removed from the loft insulation, and how?
- What does the previous 2025 tilstandsrapport say, and what has changed?
- Who did the "nyt el i hele huset" in 2015, and are there documents from an authorised electrician?
- When exactly was each bathroom done (2015 or 2017), who did the waterproofing, and is there a wet-zone document?
- The fjernvarme bills for three years in kWh, and what is the tariff?
- Why do the registers show a 2020 sale when the ownership dates from December 2015?
- Why has the price not changed in 431 days, and were there any offers?
- The cracks in the wall of the orchid room, are they developing?
- Has water entered the house, have there been insurance claims, have there been rats?
- What does "lettere forurenet" mean, and has the municipality been contacted about the soil?
Before signing: an opinion from an asbestos specialist on the roof; documents for the garage room; a check of ownership, servitutter and liens on tinglysning.dk; the valuation on vurderingsportalen.dk; your own lawyer and a building expert; confirmed financing; an offer for ejerskifteforsikring and home insurance for you.
What this report can and cannot do
The report was prepared from the full package (brochure and salgsopstilling of 12 pages, tilstandsrapport of 25, electrical report of 14, energy label of 15) and public data, without an inspection of the house. The market corridor has medium confidence: 18 sales, but the condition of the comparables and the size of their plots are unknown. The roof, electrics, asbestos and damp must be assessed by a specialist. The costs in the tables are indicative and marked as estimates.
Conflicts that we showed rather than hid: "rødt hus" against 2 red and 7 yellow; "ombygninger Nej" against the garage turned into living space; "changes in the electrics Nej" against the 2015 electrics by the owner; ownership since 2015 against the 2020 sale; bathrooms in 2015 and 2017; heating of 27,000 kr against 16,700 kr; "lettere forurenet" against a map with no pollution; garage year "1000".
