Notary fees for purchasing in an old property
PRICE BRANCHES | NOTARY FEES |
---|---|
FROM 0 TO 5,000 euros | 70 euros |
FROM 5,001 TO 20,000 euros | 120 euros |
FROM 20,001 TO 40,000 euros | 170 euros |
FROM 40,001 TO 60,000 euros | 250 euros |
FROM 60,001 TO 80,000 euros | 300 euros |
FROM 80,001 TO 120,000 euros | 350 euros |
FROM 120,001 TO 135,000 euros | 360 euros |
FROM 135,001 TO 150,000 euros | 370 euros |
FROM 150,001 TO 165,000 euros | 380 euros |
From 120,000 euros, each additional 15,000 euros represents
an increase of only 10 euros.
However, there is a maximum ceiling for notary fees: 5,000 euros. Notary fees cannot therefore exceed this amount.
These notary fees are added to the purchase tax of 3% on the total price of the property.
Another parameter on which Montenegro is well placed.
Regarding transfer taxes, in France, the rate for old property is 8%. The country holds the sad record for the highest taxation in Europe and this is also reflected in transfer taxes.
The most taxed after the French are the Germans (6%) and the Portuguese (between 6 and 8%).
