How are notary fees calculated?
The example of a real estate sale with a value of €500,000, the amount of fees is calculated as follows:
- Emoluments (Fees): The proportional rate is 0.814% of the value of the transaction, i.e. Émolument excluding tax of €4,487, to which VAT is added at a rate of 20%, making a total of approximately €5,500 inclusive of taxes.- Costs: For the purpose of the example we shall take a flat rate of €1,000.- Taxes and duties: The sale of a building is subject to registration duties at a rate of 5.8% of the value of the transaction, to which is added a further contribution de sécurité immobilière [French property transaction formalities fee] at a rate of 0.1%, making a total amount for taxes and duties to be paid of roughly €29,500.
