The above services are provided at a standard
fee of £1500 (GBP) for the majority of properties purchased
using our services.
Please note that, for properties listed by Toscana
Verde, this fee replaces the usual purchaser's commission of 2%-5%
(or more) charged by Italian agents, and many other property companies,
and is not an additional charge. We take pride
in providing a superior service, at a lower cost, than our competitors.
For more expensive properties, generally those
costing €300,000 or more, we charge
a higher fee to reflect the greater work involved in their sale.
These fees are also generally far lower than a conventional agent's
commission.
The package price does NOT include disbursements,
for example notaio's fees, survey fees, stamp duty, fees for any
other legal or administrative requirements, costs payable to utility
companies for connections, insurance cover, local or national taxes,
planning permission costs, workmen's and contractor's fees and materials.
