the Floods, dykes, kystsikringer and desperate citizens go hand in hand.
A new report shows that the water level will rise significantly more than expected. Householders will be affected by the future flooding, we have in store, believes the expert.
In Jægerspris has long been plagued by the rising waters.
In Jægerspris is they soon won to the water in the basement and flooding in the streets.
real estate agent at Nybolig in Jægerspris Thea Fabricius has seen many home-made dykes.
- It is no wonder, to get out of a house, who have made their own dykes. However, when it is said, so it is not because the houses at risk will be priced lower, explains Thea Fabricius to Ekstra Bladet.

But it's not exactly a dance on roses to get rid of with the houses in the so-called risikozone.
- the Buyers are definitely much more careful when considering a house at risk. So the lay of the houses in the area are much longer, she explains.
And it is with serious eyes, that one must look at the bleak forecasts about the floods.
Karsten Arnbjerg-Nielsen is professor at DTU with a specialization in climate change and sea level rise.
- We have houses, which are recorded with 30-year loans, which can make the borrowers technically insolvent if house prices suddenly fall due to vandstandsstigningerne, he explains to Extra Bladet.
- the Houses may have a great view, but they become unsellable, when the water comes, and to the seventh and last, someone needs to pay the bill.

In the new report is Køge Bay particularly affected by the future elevated water masses.
The houses, which is at risk of flooding, are often some of the most expensive houses, explains Kasper Nygaard Jonassen.
He and his colleague Henrik Lauritsen is real estate agents with EDC in Køge.
- It is often the slightly more expensive homes, which is at risk, so in addition to all in the municipality must pay a little kystsikringen, so do those who live in the houses are also a little more to ensure their homes down towards the river and such. So there is going to be invested in the security of the houses just to avoid the many future floods.
And therefore considers the two real estate agents in Køge not to the new studies showing a massive rise of the sea in 2050, will have a significant impact.
- We are not so nervous. With all the construction going on now in the World, so one must then expect that there is a track on it. Otherwise, it is the many billions that go to waste, says Henrik Lauritsen.
- We have-fortunately-not like the Netherlands yet. But I hope that the politicians do something, if it can be so bad. But there are already plans for coastal protection, so we hope they have included the new number, says Henrik Lauritsen to Ekstra Bladet.
- No, it may be that there are several houses that can boast views of the sea, the joker Kasper Nygaard Jonassen.
