Is it possible to find a cheap notary in Barcelona?
Are there “cheap notaries”? Is it possible to offer quality services at affordable prices? Is the price of a notarial deed free? Do all notaries charge the same? We answer this very common question among notary clients.
Finding affordable notarial services is, in many cases, a goal for users. However, you will discover that Notaries are not subject to price freedom, but to rules, called the Notarial Tariff, without this meaning a loss, neither in quality nor in their professionalism to offer excellent assistance.
The concept of cheap notary services
Not many people know that the work of the Notary, as a legal professional, is subject to the Notarial Fee Schedule, in the Royal Decree 1426/1989 of 17 November, where professional fees and the regulation of the notarial function are established. All Notaries must comply with it. The Spanish Notarial Fee Schedule is among the cheapest in Europe and also stipulates that advice at a notary's office is free and charges are only made for the documents that are signed. All Notaries, whether Notaries of Barcelona or any other place, must strictly apply the notarial fee schedule, which is established by law.
How is the price of a Notary calculated?
The amount of the deeds is regulated by the notarial tariff. This affects a wide range of documents, such as wills, sales, mortgage loans and more. The price may vary depending on the number of pages of the document and whether it is of a fixed or variable amount. Documents without an amount, such as wills, usually have a fixed cost, while those with a variable amount, such as sales, depend on the value of the assets involved and may involve additional management fees.
Most affordable notaries: applicable discounts and reductions
You should be aware that there are several tariff reductions established by law, such as for the sale and mortgage of primary residences or the deeds of Officially Protected Housing (VPO). Both when invoicing in cases where there are reductions and in all cases all notaries are legally obliged to charge the same for the same service, and competition is based on quality, speed and professionalism. Therefore, it is important that you inform the notary’s office, so they can provide you with a quote and invoice you in the most appropriate way for your specific case, such as buying a primary residence or a VPO, for example.
One should always find out about the expenses they will have to bear when going to the Notary. At JLA Notarios, we are always transparent about costs. For this reason, we aim for our clients to be perfectly satisfied with our services and fully informed about their rights.
However, there may be some transactions outside the tariff, such as notarial deposits, transactions exceeding six million euros, and extra notarial services, such as the management of tax documentation or other additional services where the notarial remuneration can be agreed upon between the parties.
In fact, we have already written an article about notarial costs which you can read at the following link:
Free advice
Behind the notarial work there is an effort in advising, in solving notarial matters that concern you, verifying, reconciling interests, drafting deeds and attributing public faith to them, as well as the management and processing of documentation (both in terms of obtaining, registering and preserving). Therefore, we cannot talk about Cheap Notaries in Barcelona or in any other location, as it is a mistaken concept, since any Notary must always apply the same rules and notaries compete in the quality and speed of our services but not in price.
