Along with the draft deed you will receive from the notary a “statement for settlement”. For the purchaser this statement (usually) includes the purchase price, the apportionment of taxes, the transfer tax, the Land Register fees, the handling fee for any mortgage and so on. The seller’s statement for settlement will contain, amongst other items, the amount of the mortgage obtained or to be redeemed with the relevant costs. Normally, if the estate agent’s costs have not yet been paid, these will be settled up with the notary. The estate agents’ costs are paid by whoever employed him or her. For purchases where costs are payable by the seller, see below (Article 1). The statement contains the amount that you, as purchaser, have to pay or, as seller, will receive or still have to pay.
