What are notary fees?

The notary is an unavoidable aspect when buying or selling a house. But what are notary fees? Without the notary there can be no transfer of ownership. Also, a mortgage can only be established after the mortgage deed has been signed at the notary. The deeds drawn up by the notary are:

• Mortgage deed
• Deed of transfer
• Deed of sale

However, it is often at this stage that couples have a cohabitation agreement or a registered partnership drawn up. A civil-law notary will charge costs for all these matters, the amount of which may vary from one civil-law notary’s office to another. A nice bonus is that notary fees are tax deductible.
