So this is a pricing essay.
Once the property amount is figured up....there are four additional fees:
1. Local transfer tax: 6-percent.
2. Brokerage commission: figure between 5 and 6 percent of the property amount.
3. Notary fee: 1.5-percent.
4. Property registration fee: .5-percent
So even if you found a property in the 200k Euro range....there's potentially 28k additional Euro on top of that.
Is brokerage commissions always involved? No. A guy with a 'hot' property might figure the ease of advertising, and not involve a real estate agent....so that five to six percent deal is avoided.
A problem property? You often see a case where a property has been up on the market for six months, and the owners in a desperate mode.....willing to pay the notary and property registration fees for the new incoming folks.
If you were looking for one of the ten reasons why private ownership is a minor problem....these extra fees add up. With the transfer fee figured in....it also hinders people from buying x-property at age 25, selling it at age 32, then buying another upgrade property....then repeating this at age 45.
