Hi There,

You will have to use the services of a notaire for the purchase/sale of a property. The legal fees will be aprox 8% of the purchase price for an existing property, or aprox 5% of the purchase price for a new property.

Notaires may have some properties for sale, and quite often you can save some money on the agents fees.

The immobilier (estate agent) will probably have a larger range of properties for sale than a notaire. Agents fees are usually about 5% of the purchase price, but ask .... some agents in and around the region do charge a whopping 10%, as we found out to our cost last year.

Kind Regards
