IAN ROSS Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 I have just got back from the Notaires having bought two parcells of land. One for 500 and another for 2000. I was suprised to find that the cost was 325 each in fees. It appears that there is a fixed rate irrespective of how much land you buy. I was not aware of this, and thought the fees would be around 10%.My fault for not investigating more thouroughly, but thought it worth bringing up if anyone else ou there is looking at purchasing a small parcell.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggiemortimer Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Thank you for this posting. We are currently negotiating to buy a small area of land and, like you, thought the fees would be 10-15%. At least we will now know how much it will cost.Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In common with most taxes in France property transfer costs are made up from a myriad of often relatively small fees, all of which are combined to produce a big total.Some of these fees are in fact one-offs of a fixed amount and so there is in fact a minimum cost applicable to any property sale.Your 325 seems a little high though. I thought that it was around 2000F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
