Buying a home can be an emotional rollercoaster; you swing from wild excitement to the fear of being cheated or making a bad deal. That is why most people hire a property lawyer (boligadvokat), so they can be sure the purchase goes smoothly. Most of the documents in a property transaction are written in legal language, which can make them hard to understand. The property lawyer goes through every single document in the case, and so also goes through every detail with you, so you know exactly what you are getting into when it is time to sign. The price of a property lawyer varies depending on whether you choose one who works with fixed prices or package deals, or one who charges by the hour.
