What are the legal fees to buy real estate
A real estate agent and a local lawyer are essential in purchasing a property. Initial steps before having any property titled, include the verification of the property background in the registry and making sure that municipal taxes such as the Real Estate Property Tax have been paid. Then the notary, who charges around 3% to 5% of the market value of the property, issues the preliminary deed. After which the 1.5% transfer tax and 0.15% registration fee are paid at a bank. Registration at a property office and the change of ownership in the Cadastre office follow.
The whole process of registering a property can be completed in around 22 days.

check whether the owner has outstanding utility bills, local tax demands etc that you may be liable for on purchase of the property
check that all utilities e.g. water, sewage and electricity, are connected and that you will be able to use them
talk to other property owners in the area or on the development to establish if there are any issues you should be aware of before purchasing (such as floods in winter, lack of water or electricity supplies in summer)
ask the developer to show you some projects that s/he has completed and talk to owners of properties on these developments to see if they have had any problems
establish whether the developer has outstanding commitments to utility suppliers to bring water, sewage, electricity etc to the development
