Cheap houses for sale in Denmark

Denmark is not a country most people associate with cheap houses, but rural Jutland and parts of Funen are a different story from Copenhagen. Away from the cities you still find brick country houses, thatched farmhouses and old four-winged farms with a hectare or more of land, often at prices well below what similar houses cost in the Netherlands, Germany or the UK.

Most of our Danish listings are in North Jutland, around the Limfjord, the island of Mors and the Jammerbugt coast. Others are in Southern Denmark, from the west coast near Varde to the hills of South Funen, and in Central Jutland. Many come with outbuildings, a small forest, a pond or even a lake of their own.

There is one big catch for foreign buyers: Denmark restricts property purchases by people who do not live there. Unless you have lived in Denmark for at least five years in total, or have your domicile there, you generally need permission from the Department of Civil Affairs (Civilstyrelsen). EU and EEA citizens can buy a home they will actually live in all year round under certain conditions, but a holiday home is a different matter.
