Thoroughly reforming the notarial profession! That is the goal of Minister of Justice Vincent Van Quickenborne (Open VLD). The result will be a drastic decrease in notary fees for a number of acts, including the purchase of a house. Thus, the website of VRT NWS reads:
"For the purchase of a house of about 232,000 euros, the notary fees will drop by about 25 percent because both the fees for the fee and the administrative costs will drop. That is good for an amount of 1,102 euros. The property must be the only one owned by the buyer and he must live in it himself. The decrease in notary fees decreases as the property you are buying is more expensive. For a property of around €450,000 there is still a benefit of €574, but for a property of €800,000 you will have to pay slightly higher costs. "
