I’m not convinced neighbourhood splits should come first. With a small villa sample, dividing Copenhagen further may create noisy figures that look precise. Start by publishing the sample size, property-type definition, active-versus-sold counts and the dates the data were collected. Then add...

Miguel’s point suggests a practical way to test this. Split the villas by neighbourhood, condition, first-listing date, any price-cut date, and whether they were withdrawn or relisted. Then compare only completed sales within those groups. Emil, clarifying what the 4.5% measures—and whether DKK...

I wouldn’t draw the fees conclusion from those figures yet. Is DKK 5,617,000 an asking-price reference or a completed-sale figure? Also, how are you treating relisted villas when calculating 73 days? A listing that disappears and returns can make both time on market and the apparent discount...

The missing figure is your monthly essential outgoings after completion. £21,060 could be comfortable for one household and thin for another. Also, does your estimate include the initial service-charge demand, utility setup, insurance, removals and any overlap with your current accommodation...

Before choosing, put a number on the flexibility. The higher-fee quote only earns that premium if your likely overpayments are large enough for its better terms to recover the extra upfront cost. I would calculate that break-even amount using the loan-to-value tier and borrowing figure you...
