What the estimate covers
For an existing home, the estimate adds the notary’s fees (national bracket scale, VAT included), transfer duties — departmental duty, 1.20% municipal tax and collection costs — and the 0.10% property security contribution. For a new build, duties are replaced by the 0.70% land registration tax.
Disbursements are not included
Disbursements (land registry, town planning, surveyor…) vary by case and have no official amount: they are not estimated. Only the notary handling the sale can produce the exact statement.
