French legal fees

The legal fees or French conveyancing costs are the fees paid to the French Notaire.

In the case of new build property purchased off-plan, the legal fees are not included in the price and are additional. They are however much reduced and range between 2.5% and 4% (compared to 6% to 10% for an older property).

These fees are paid to the Notaire in France when signing the Deed of Sale.
