I have just been informed that the Tapu is ready to transfer into my name. The cost for this is 2000 euros. Is there a charge? If so does this sound correct.

Bloody hell thats a lot
We havent had to pay anything but all our legal costs were in the original purchase contract so unsure but thats some price just for a transfer.
I think this has been discussed before Jane,try the archives.
Best of luck

Hi Jane,

It is normally the "property tax" that needs paying when the TAPU gets transfered into your name. This is 3% of the value of the property as stated on the TAPU and the 3% charge is normally split between buyer and seller.

we paid 3035 ytl at the tapu office for tax ,paperwork,translation,notary etc.

water transfer 30ytl

electric 35ytl

redrawing plans 300ytl

Which comes out to approx £1400

My house was a re-sale and not a new build. Does this make a difference?

jcrian

Our house was a resale too.

No, property tax is payable irrespective of new build or resale (assuming of course this what you've been asked for).

But this is nothing to do with property tax, it simply just the cost to transfer the Tapu into my name.
