Purchase Costs

We recommend that you allow a sum of around 12,3% of the price of the property to cover payment of purchasing fees e.g. land registry fees, notary fees, legal fees and taxes.

1. Transfer Tax: This is paid by the purchaser and is a standard 7% tax applied to the declared value of the property. This tax must be paid within 30 days of signing the title deed.

2. Plus Valia (land/capital gains tax): This is generally paid by the owner when they sell the property.

3. Notary, Land Registry and Legal Fees: 2.8 % of the declared value of the property.

4. Real estate agent´s commission fee: 2.5 % of the sale price from the buyer side.
