Buying costs and rules in France
The fees, taxes and paperwork to budget for on top of the asking price.
This is a planning estimate, not a mortgage offer. Actual affordability depends on lender checks, income, residency, property type, fees, tax, and exchange rates. Uses our mortgage data as of March 2026.
Transaction tax
Droits de mutation (transfer tax) on resale properties: typically 5.8% (départemental 4.5% + communal 1.2% + state 0.1% + notary base). New builds (VEFA) attract TVA at 20% (included in developer price) plus reduced droits of ~0.7%. Some first-time buyer and reduced-rate schemes apply in certain cases.
Agent fees
Estate agent fees (honoraires) are negotiated by the seller and are usually included in the advertised sale price. Listings should make clear whether the price includes agency fees (FAI, frais d'agence inclus) or is net vendeur.
Notary and registry
Notaire fees (émoluments) are set by official tariff: approximately 0.8–1% on properties above €150,000. Total notaire costs including taxes and disbursements typically run 7–8% on resale properties.
Foreign buyer rules
EU/EEA citizens face no restrictions. Non-EU buyers can purchase freely — France has no foreign-ownership restrictions. A French tax number (numéro fiscal) is required. Non-residents must appoint a fiscal representative for capital gains purposes if the property is later sold. Foreign income is accepted by French lenders, though documentation requirements are strict. For a fuller step-by-step overview, read our guide to buying a house in France.
