      My lawyer is charging me 1% of Net House price + IVA (plus 16% IVA of service). Shouldn’t it be 1% net of IVA? or am I mistaken?

      I woud appreciate it if a Spnish lawyer answered this. Thanks!

      Hello,

      We have been very stupid in the sense that we have bought off plan without having all the paperwork independently checked, we now have had it checked and luckily everything is OK. We are now only require a lawyer for the completion and water/electric etc (already have wills, NIE’s etc). What % should we expect to pay for this?

      Thanks

      I would guess that a lawyer would still charge his standard fee regardless that the contract has already been signed and checked by someone else. This forum does recommend excellent lawyers depending where the property is?

      Drakan – so you mean it’s correct for a lawyer to charge 1% of ‘Gross’ proeprty price?

      Dear babes,

      When you agree a fee with your lawyer normally it doesn’t include the vat, unless it was informed or agreed that vat was included.
      The vat is a tax that is always on top of the fees you pay for products you buy or services you get, so the figure that you pay for legal sevices is net for the lawyer, then on top you have to pay the 16% vat.

      I hope this clarifies and helps, regards.
