Notaires are excellent sources of information when looking for a property. They have a monopoly over the execution of properties' sales. Most properties are still sold by notaires (especially in rural areas) despite the development of estate agents almost everywhere and especially in major cities. Notaires are recognised experts in real estate, and have sole access to the "Perval" files which list the prices of every transaction executed in France.

2,5 % on everything above
All fees are subject to VAT (TVA) at 19.60%
