Notaire's charges


Evianers

Recommended Posts

Sorry in advance if this in somewhat long winded, but we have come to a full stop and would value any sensible advice.

When we bought out house, naturally we had to pay the Notaire his fee. Because we are ultra-cautious and careful when checking the figures subsequently, we noticed that we had been overcharged by 1350 euros. Sent this off to SARF who apparently had an extremely long uphill struggle with the tax office in Paris to retrieve the overcharged money. Beginning of September we received a kind of waiver from SARF, sign below, it said, have this authorised by your bank and return it to us when the overpayment will be refunded. 33 months later after paying too much, and umpteen faxes requesting information there is no response from them and no reimbursement. Can anyone suggest what we can do now to retrieve what is ostensibly our money, without interest of course, more than two and a half years later. Hope this all makes sense. Thanks in advance. Our advice is, check the figures!

[quote user="le bouffon"]We paid to much to the notaire,but he told us at the time of signing and also that there would be a refund,did you go back to the notaire direct? to ask for the money due.[/quote]

Same happened to us, and we got a refund straight into our bank a couple of months later.

[quote user="Monika"]We got the overpayment back about 6 months later, did not expect it and had not checked the invoices as we had agreed to a house price with all expenses included (notaire and estate agent).[/quote]

 

Oh lucky you............... We live in hopes.
