Let’s walk through this journey together with Reviero by your side, breaking down the essential costs you’ll encounter when purchasing property in this beautiful region.
The Allure of New Development Properties
You’ve found it in our Marketplace – a brand new, modern apartment with panoramic sea views and state-of-the-art amenities. Here’s what you need to know about the costs involved in bringing this dream to life, with Reviero guiding you every step of the way:
1. Notary Fees: Picture a sleek office where you sign the final documents. We ensure this vital step is handled smoothly, costing between €600 to €1,000, roughly 0.6% to 1.0% of your purchase price.
2. Legal Fees: Reviero's lawyers guide you through the maze of paperwork, ensuring everything is in order. Expect to pay around €1,000, or 1.0%, for their expert legal support.
3. Stamp Duty (AJD): This is the government’s fee for formalizing the legal documents. Reviero helps you navigate this cost, which adds up to €1,500, about 1.5% of the purchase price.
4. VAT (IVA): The government’s tax on your shiny new property is a significant cost, 10%, or €10,000 on a €100,000 purchase. Reviero ensures that you’re well-prepared for this expense.
