The viewing diary is now open, which raises one question before appointments are booked: what information should be provided first? The Copenhagen property is a 3-bed serviced apartment offered at DKK 1,884,000, with an indicated area of about 180 m² and condition reported as average to good.

Buyers will understandably want the registered private floor area confirmed rather than relying on an approximate figure. The current service charge and what it covers also need to be clear, along with energy information, title details, parking arrangements and the fixtures included in the sale.

Please post any document or access questions here. Viewings can then be arranged by appointment once the points most relevant to the buyer have been identified.
 
The area needs clarifying first. Is the 180 m² the registered private floor area, or does it include any shared or serviced space? At the asking price that works out at roughly DKK 10,467 per stated square metre, so even a modest difference in how the area is measured would matter. I would also want the current service-charge amount and a breakdown of what it covers.
 
Agreed—the word “approximately” is not enough for comparing the price. The document request should therefore include the registered floor area alongside the title information and energy performance details. Service charges also need to be separated from the asking price.

Fixtures and parking have not been specified in the listing details, so those should be treated as open questions rather than assumed inclusions.
 
I would go further and ask for the title documents before booking a viewing. “Serviced apartment” can describe different arrangements, and the important point is what is actually being sold and what obligations come with it. The title information and service-charge terms should make that clearer. If those do not align with the description, the condition of the rooms becomes secondary.
 
I understand wanting the paperwork first, but a viewing can still be useful if someone is nearby. “Average to good” is broad. A prospective buyer should note the condition of windows, bathrooms, kitchen fittings, floors and any installed appliances, then ask which of those items remain with the apartment. Just don’t mistake a visual inspection for confirmation of title or area.
 
Parking should be asked about separately: availability does not necessarily mean a space is included in this sale. The same applies to furniture or equipment associated with the serviced setup. I would ask for three distinct lists—fixtures included in the price, optional items, and anything belonging to the building or service provider.
 
That is fair; I was not suggesting that nobody should view it. My concern is sequencing. Obtain enough information to confirm that the 3-bed, approximately 180 m² description matches the property being offered, then use the viewing to investigate condition. Otherwise it is easy to spend the appointment assessing fittings while the larger questions remain unanswered.
 
A concise request to the seller could cover everything without turning into a long exchange: verified floor area, title documents, energy performance, current service charges and what they cover, condition notes, included fixtures, and parking terms. Once those answers are available, buyers can decide whether an appointment is worthwhile and arrive with specific points to inspect.
