Fees are administrative fees charged in various public services and legal processes, including the purchase of real estate. These costs may include registration fees, notary fees and other expenses associated with formalizing the real estate transaction. Traditionally, these fees represented a significant additional burden on property buyers.

No Additional Costs: Young people up to 35 years old will not have to pay fees associated with purchasing their first home, which can represent significant savings in the total cost of the transaction.
Direct Application: The exemption is applied directly in the purchase process, which means that young buyers do not need to take any additional action to benefit from this measure. The exemption will be reflected in the fees charged for registration and notary services.
