privat vej = it is actually private and you can stop people from driving on it. (but usually not walking) The municipality don't do anything and have no authority over it. Then you have "privat fællesvej" It is owned by the owners of the properties along the road and they have to pay for maintaining it. But it is still open to the general public for both driving and walking. and then you got the public roads. this is from Københavns kommune: "En privat vej eller sti ligger i et privatejet område, og der er ikke nødvendigvis adgang for alle. Private veje og stier ligger typisk inde i en større boligafdeling, institution eller virksomhed. Private veje er i modsætning til private fællesveje ikke underlagt kommunens myndighed. Derfor kan grundejeren uden tilladelse fra kommunen og for egen regning ændre på vejens indretning og udstyr. Det kan dog kræve tilladelse fra politiet. Det er grundejeren, der har ansvaret for, at en privat vej eller sti bliver fejet, vedligeholdt og ryddet for sne."

@@thomasbaagaard no privat vej ore privat area signs do not stop you from walking into and staying in a public accessible area.

@@madsmatras5691 and that is what I wrote. It can stop people from driving, but usually not walking.

Congratulations ,so happy for you 🇩🇰❤️

Generally it is fine, but given the proximity to our house, it did invade on our privacy a tad. Additionally, when we pulled our car in and out people walking would be visibly annoyed. Even though it is maintained now by all the houses that use it.

@@TravelinYoung then it is likely a "privat fællesvej" That is not the same as a "privat vej"

@@thomasbaagaard Korrekt en privat vej, er privat.

@@moenielsen3218 Nej, det er lidt mere kompliceret. Som hovedregel kan du ikke forbyde færdsel til fods eller på cykel på en privat vej, men der findes undtagelser - se Naturbeskyttelsesloven §26.

Hvis en vej er markeret som privat vej, betyder det at motorkøretøjer og scootere ikke må have gennemkørsel på den hvis den ikke er blind, så cykelister og fodgængere må passere gennem den. Hvis de ikke må skal der under privatvej være et skilt mere hvor der står adgang forbudt for uvedkommende, så betyder det at den er komplet privat. Har selv boet på privat vej, men det blev heller ikke respekteret, og jo længere vi boede der fra jeg flyttede ind til jeg flyttede kom der mere og mere trafik gennem, det blev et mareridt. Og hvis det er en privat vej, skal man selv betale for at få skiltet produceret og opsat. Og det ville have kostet 2000 kr. Fuldstændig sindsygt. Men håber dette hjælper lidt med forskellen 😁

who is not welcome here? only criminels and violente migrants are not welcome

Now you Can talk about realkreditlån and Home improvements

The private vej thing was a bit annoying precisely because it was so heavily used by the public. I can understand if it was a road somewhere that on a few houses were on that no one used. But the road was and is used heavily by the local public to get to Lyngby Sø as there is a path at the end of the street that leads to it. Because of that, I felt it really falls under a public road and they should be respondible for public safety not us.

​@@TravelinYoung You are right that there has been a tendency to make more streets private, because the kommune can save a little money on maintenance that way.

@@TravelinYoung Actually it is possible to complain to the "Kommune" and tell them that they must take care of the road, clean snow etc. I think if more than 50% of the users of the road are not living on the road.

@@holmbjerg My kommune tried to turn a road leading to the public school into a Privat Fællesvej so the Kommune could save money. But the people on the road complain and won the battle.

@@TravelinYoung I live in Holte in a villa with our yard going all the way down to the forest. To enter our property you have to go 5 meters or so down a walking path that continues to the forest. The road we live on is what’s called a ‘private public road’ which basically means that everybody can use it but us living on it are responsible for keeping it safe etc. That’s fine since everybody living here is paying a yearly fee to have this done BUT in regards to the walking path that goes from that road down to the (public) forest is our responsibility which to me was quite surprising as it can entail a lot of work on cost quite a bit if somebody gets injured due to it being slippery in the winter and so. In Denmark it’s a good rule of thumb to just expect that every road and path is accessible by the public even if it goes through part of your property. A lot of people buying expensive villas down to the sea seem to not understand this and so there’s a lot of buyers remorse in those areas when buyers realize that they can’t block anybody from walking at the beach at their property and even sometimes they find out there’s a servitude on the property demanding free passage for the public from the street, through your garden, down to the waterfront. Overall I believe most find this to be a good thing though as all waterfront properties otherwise would have been blocked off a long time ago. I hope you continue to find happiness in our little country and hopefully we will see the next generation of your family here as well at some point in the future. 😊

Thanks so much!

Definitely!

Thank you!

It's not but it obviously depends entirely on your financial situation. Your ties to the country can also play a significant role especially with regards to how much the banks will require you to put down as a down payment on the property. So unless you have pretty deep pockets and only need the bank to finance up to 60-80% of the sales price (or less) it's likely going to be difficult getting a loan approval from a bank until you're at least close to getting your permanent recidence permit. This is due to the fact that it's extremely difficult and expensive for the banks to recover debts abroad in the event that you default on your mortgage and decide to leave the county so they usually take this precaution to minimize that risk.

Thank you!

Thanks, I think we will. And a lot we will share here :).

Lots of light in the mornings and midday. So nice :).
