bygningsrapporten

Bygningsrapporten, often translated as "building report" or "property report," is a document commonly used in Denmark. It is a comprehensive assessment of a property's condition, prepared by an independent expert, usually an engineer or surveyor. The purpose of the report is to provide potential buyers with a thorough understanding of the building's state, including any defects, necessary repairs, and potential future issues.

The report typically covers various aspects of the building, such as the roof, walls, foundation, windows, doors, ventilation systems, and plumbing. It details the findings of the inspection, often accompanied by photographs to illustrate any identified problems. The report also includes an assessment of the building's energy efficiency and may offer recommendations for improvements.

Bygningsrapporten is a crucial part of the due diligence process when purchasing a property in Denmark. It helps buyers make informed decisions by highlighting potential costs and risks associated with the property. The report can also serve as a basis for negotiation between buyer and seller. In some cases, the report may be supplemented by a "tilstandsrapport" (condition report) and "energimærke" (energy label), which are also mandated in certain property transactions.
