Purchase cost calculator
In France the buyer pays the "notary fees" (frais de notaire) on top of the price. Most of this money is taxes that the notaire (the public official who handles every sale) collects for the state. No email needed.
The price without agency fees.
If the advert says "FAI" (frais d'agence inclus, meaning agency fees included), the fee is already in the price: enter the price without it, or leave this empty.
