What it costs to buy in France
Budget 6.1%–7.8% on top of the asking price
transfer duties (droits de mutation), notary emoluments, security contribution and disbursements. The seller separately carries agency commission — not your cost.
No licence needed to buy as a foreigner
No permit, no restriction and no surcharge: France taxes a foreign buyer exactly as it taxes a French one, and nationality does not enter the transaction. The notary is a public officer acting for the sale rather than for either side, which is why a separate lawyer is optional here in a way it is not further east.
