Will Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Montant TF + TH is indeed the amount of taxe fonciere and taxe d'habitation. The figures are low, but some areas are much cheaper than others. There may be additional charges but this varies too according to commune or district. Many, for instance, make a small charge for collecting rubbish.Prix n.v. is price 'nett vendeur' - i.e. the amount that the seller receives from the sale. The buyer has to add agency fees (which is where prix FAI - frais agences inclus comes into it) plus notaire fees and taxes.It is very unusual for an agency to quote both nett vendeur and FAI prices, even more so to quote two nett vendeur prices, in this case an 'asking price' and an 'advisory price'. It looks, though somebody closer to the profession than I am should be able to advise further, as if the agency feels the price demanded by the seller is too high, and is advising what a suitable offer might be. Of course, it's often the case that sellers ask too high a figure, but it seems rather odd that an agent should actively encourage lower offers on something as public as a website. The 'prix FAI' looks as if it is based on the higher asking price, presumably if the lower offer was accepted you could expect the 'prix FAI' to be reduced accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
