Appointment as a Building expert
If you wish to operate as a building expert in Denmark, you will need authorisation from the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority (DEACA).
The house inspection scheme concerns the purchase and sale of properties primarily used as dwellings. The purpose of the scheme is to ensure that a seller is released from their 10-year liability to the buyer for hidden faults and defects by producing a valid house condition report as well as information on change of ownership insurance before the purchase agreement is signed.
The house condition report is prepared by a building expert appointed by the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority and it describes visible faults with and defects of the property.
If you would like to work as an appointed building expert in Denmark, then you must be appointed by the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority. The Common Secretariat for Inspection and Energy Labelling (FEM Secretariat) deals with the ongoing administration of the scheme on behalf of the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority, and is therefore responsible for the practicalities of the application.
