Notary fees
in new real estate

When buying a property, notary fees are an important step in the budget. Contrary to popular belief, these fees do not only correspond to the notary's remuneration. They mainly include taxes collected on behalf of the State, disbursements and notary fees.

One of the main advantages of buying a new property is to benefit from reduced notary fees. Whether you buy an apartment or a house from C&V Habitat in Haute-Savoie, Savoie or Pays de Gex, you benefit from a lower acquisition cost than that of an old home.

Why are notary fees lower in new construction?

Notary fees are lower when buying a new property because the taxes applied are different from those of an old property.

As a general rule, they represent between 2 and 3% of the purchase price, compared to about 7 to 8% for an old home.

This saving can represent several thousand euros and is a real advantage for buyers, especially when making a first purchase.

A financial advantage from the moment of purchase

This difference represents a significant saving that can reach several thousand euros depending on the value of the property. It allows you to reduce the overall cost of your acquisition and to devote part of your budget to other expenses: a larger personal contribution, the fitting out of your future home or even certain equipment and finishes.

The reduced notary fees are in addition to the many advantages of new real estate, such as energy performance, builder's guarantees or home ownership assistance schemes such as the Zero Interest Loan (PTZ) for eligible buyers.

How are notary fees calculated?

Notary fees are calculated on the sale price of the property and include several elements: the duties and taxes paid to the State and local authorities, the disbursements corresponding to the costs advanced by the notary as well as his fees, the amount of which is regulated.

When signing the deed, your notary will give you a detailed statement so that you know exactly how much it will cost.

Buying a new home, a sustainable investment

In addition to the reduced notary fees, choosing a new home allows you to enjoy a property designed according to the latest construction standards. The housing developed by C&V Habitat meets the requirements of the RE2020 Environmental Regulations, offering better thermal comfort, controlled energy consumption and sustainable performance.

They also benefit from the guarantees specific to new construction, including the guarantee of perfect completion, the two-year guarantee, the ten-year guarantee or the construction damage insurance. These protections offer additional security and contribute to the value of your assets in the long term.
