Hi, is it normal for a Notaire to want to charge for initial advice? (I've emailed them regarding my issue.) I'm based the UK but the belgium firm, I've approached want to charge Euro 40 for a meeting.


I'd appreciate advice. Thank you

I guess it depends upon case to case, i asked them how much notory / taxes for buying a particular property and they gave me the estimate for free.

Thank you for replying.

(I suspect that work I need done, does have a few issues.)

Do you know if it is it normal for people to shop around for quotes from a few notaries?

Sorry, if it seems a rather basic question!
