Essential character in any real estate transaction, the Notary authenticates the deed of sale for a property.
It is also the Notary who collects all the legal, administrative, mortgage, and urban planning documents. He/she ensures the publication of rights and provides all the required documents to the Authorities.
He/she keeps the original deed (the minutes) and provides you with as many copies as you need. Sworn to secrecy, he/she can only provide these to heirs or beneficiaries.
The Notary is there to advice you. Don’t hesitate to consult him/her.
Notary fees amount to about 3% of the price of the total sale for new purchases, and 6.5% for older homes.
There are three of them:
- the Notary and his/her collaborators’ professional fees
- disbursements by the Notary (mortgage registrar, mortgage and land registry statements)
- fees to Treasury
Notary fees are at the buyer’s expense.
