Houses for sale in a village and in the town

Buy your own House

If you are sure that you want to stay in Denmark, and you more or less know where you would like to live it might be a good idea to consider becoming a homeowner. It may be cheaper than renting a house, and at the same time you save up value in your own house.

Have a chat with your bank about the possibilities of becoming a homeowner. The bank will help you assess your budget, so you know how much you can afford to pay, in addition to your other expenses. In Denmark there are special mortgage loans where the mortgage can be paid back over 10-30 years, but as a prerequisite the banks and building societies also require that your budget leaves room for a reasonable disposable income.

You can find a list of all estate agents, categorized according to the five biggest towns under BOLIGER TIL SALG.

Acquisition of property for foreigners is in some cases limited. You can read about The RULES. The Link-pages are only available in Danish, but use Google Translate for translation.

The Chinnow family

 
German family:

Good working conditions leaving room for a family life close to the North Sea

In 2019 the Chinnow family moved from Löbau in Germany to Hvide Sande in Denmark. Four years later the family is not in doubt: -We’ll stay here!

The couple Dagmar and Udo are working at the local companies, Hvide Sande Røgeri and Danwest, and they both see the career opportunities as one of the really big gains of having moved to Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune. Here they have been able to let go of their previous worries about job safety and fair pay, and last year their dream of buying their own house came true. 

The two children, Pauline and Pepe, are also happy about having moved to Hvide Sande. They like their new school and appreciate the Danish school system with less tests and more variety during the day. 

In Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune the family has found both tranquility, a house, career opportunities, and new friends. When the holiday makers have to go back after 1-2 weeks’ holiday all four of them are pleased that they can stay and fulfil more dreams in the middle between the North Sea and Ringkøbing Fjord.

Charlotte and Ian

 
Danish/English couple:

Wish of living the good life

”Above all, we just wanted to be together and live the good life. We love being together” says the Danish/English couple Charlotte and Ian Coles who have settled down in an idyllic old farm house at Kloster, halfway between the Ringkøbing Fjord and the Stadil Fjord and close to the town of Ringkøbing.

It is not surprising that the couple had a wish of the good life in peaceful surroundings with lots of nature. Ian was a Major in the British Army, which meant the couple had moved around military bases in England and Germany for years. Ian had also been deployed close to the world’s war zones, leaving Charlotte alone and suffering months of deprivation during their first year in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality.

They bought the old farmhouse overlooking the Stadil Fjord in 2013, and Charlotte moved in full-time, while Ian could only come home as work allowed. But now the good life has really started as Ian retired this summer.

Ian is 48 years old and he has just landed a job with Vestas - the wind turbine manufacturer – as a Project Training Leader.
