Buying costs in Romania: what you pay on top of the price

Pick a country, enter the price and see each tax and fee with its low and high amount. Every figure comes from our published buying guide for that country.

• Transfer tax — Varies, ask your lawyer. Our guide gives no buyer transfer tax for Romania.
• VAT on new builds — New build: Varies, ask your lawyer. Our guide lists 19 to 21% VAT on new builds but does not say whether it is inside the price.
• Notary — Varies, ask your lawyer. The largest single cost, on a sliding scale; stamp duty is combined with it.
• Lawyer — Varies, ask your lawyer. Our guide recommends an independent lawyer but gives no fee.
• Land registry — Varies, ask your lawyer. Registration with ANCPI is a small flat fee; our guide gives no amount.
• Agent fee — 3%. Typical agency commission.

Our guide's own total: 3 to 5% of price (resale)

This is an estimate based on our guides, not legal or tax advice. Rates change and depend on the property; confirm every figure with a local lawyer before you buy.
