The cost of a notarial deed

The total cost of a notarial deed includes not only the notary's fees, but also the taxes, duties, and other fees the notary pays to the state on behalf of the client. In most cases (and almost always, when it comes to real estate purchases), the notary's fee represents only a small portion of the total cost. The notary can, however, specify the impact of each item on the total requested.

Similar considerations can be made regarding vehicle transfers. For example, the notary's fee almost never accounts for more than fifty euros of the registration cost of a new car, and is usually close to half that amount.

It is impossible to provide even a rough estimate of the cost of a deed here: there are too many variables to consider. Notary fees, in particular, are set out in specific tables approved by the District Councils as part of a national tariff: they depend on the type of deed, its value, the difficulties presented by the case, and several other factors.
