Evianers Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Have asking for feedback on this forum - to which several helpful folks replies, we went about asking the notaire who is handling the purchase of our new house for the cost of changing our marriage regime. Back came the answer 560 euros. Now, we had heard that ca. 300 was more normal, but that was a couple of years ago. This morning, apropos the future signing of the Acte de Vente, we mentioned that 560 euros was rather high - she departed but returned immediately, crossed through the written 560 and wrote 450 euros! So our advice is, never take anything at face value, and be prepared to negotiate!!! Good luck. BTW 450 euros is enough, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
