Linden Arden Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Just gearing up to the compromis de vente for a house in Haute Viene (87). Had the first meeting with the notaire's assistant today to get the list of stuff I need for the compromis meeting, so I asked how much the notaire's fees would be (he does immobilier work as well I think but not on my property) and she said "a maximum of 7,000 euro" on a purchase price of 107,000 for a town house.Does this seem a reasonable amount ??

SaligoBay Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Unfortunately, yes, it looks to be in the right area.It's vaguely around 7% of purchase price, with the exact amount depending on the day of the week, the average number of lorry drivers and fishermen on strike per day over the previous 3 months, the price of shares in Lidl, and whether Madame Notaire spread Monsieur Notaire's tartine to his satisfaction at breakfast on the day.

BJSLIV Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I assume that you aren't having a French mortgage. Without a mortgage I would expect you to be charged about €7500, with a mortgage nearer €9000. The charges may seem a bit steep, but when the French talk about the Frais Notaire they include the many and varied stamp duties, in your case about €5000, which Brits tend to think of separately.

Kevinmc Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Sounds about right. When you eventually see how many people have had a slice of the cake, you'll see that they're not notaires fees at all, but duties and taxes. And with a little bit of luck, you'll get a small cheque back for unspent funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Just a quick note to say welcome to the area! We are near Bessines - the fees seem about right - we ended up with a small refund of about €170 after it had all gone throughKate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linden Arden Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 Thanks Kate...we will be (hopefully) in Oradour-sur-Vayres (a bit of a way from you I think) We will be renting near Chalus for the next four months however. We may have to pick your brains about bars and restaurants in Limoges... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
