Costs and fees when buying property
Knowing the full cost before you commit protects you from surprises. Beyond the property price, the main items are the real estate transaction tax and the brokerage fee, plus VAT on the brokerage.
As a guide, the real estate transaction tax is 5% of the price, the brokerage fee is commonly 2.5%, and VAT of 15% applies on the brokerage. On every property page we show a clear breakdown so you can see the total at a glance.
There may be smaller costs such as documentation and utility transfers. We set out every figure in advance and in writing, so you decide with complete clarity.
