How the calculator works
- Spain: ITP transfer tax at the region’s standard rate, shown as a range for tiered rates. New builds: 10% IVA plus 0.5 to 2% AJD. Notary, land registry and gestoría as a flat €1,300 to €3,000, your own lawyer approx. 1%.
- France: transfer tax 5.8 to 6.3% (depending on the département), reduced to approx. 0.7% for new builds. Notary fee just under 1% plus VAT, plus registration and outlays.
- Denmark: land registry fee of DKK 1,850 plus 0.6% of the price, your own adviser as a flat €1,500 to €5,000.
All figures are guide values as of November 2026. The details are explained in Buying a house in Spain, Buying a house in France and Buying property in Denmark.
The calculator gives a rough guide and is no substitute for legal or tax advice. Tax rates change. Check the costs with a lawyer or tax adviser in the country before you buy.
