Compare a fixed digital sale package with your actual alternatives. [PROPERLY EDITORIAL](https://properly.cy/editorial-policy) / REVIEWED 22 OCTOBER 2026 General preparation guidance. Future 2027 requirements must be checked before commitment. **THE ANSWER UP FRONT** Build a selling-cost budget with separate lines for service fees, professional work, marketing, official charges, applicable tax, debt repayment and any technical or document costs. Properly’s €3,995 package is a service fee including VAT, not the total amount every seller will spend or a replacement for mortgage repayment and tax. ## Start with the net proceeds you need to understand The sale price is not the amount left after completion. List the payments that will be deducted or settled separately and identify who will confirm each figure. A lender’s current redemption statement, a professional fee quote and a tax calculation answer different questions. Do not combine them into one unexplained percentage. Some figures can be estimated early; others need up-to-date information closer to completion. Mark an assumption as an assumption and record the date of every confirmed statement. That makes the budget useful when the asking price, timetable or financing changes. ## Compare the whole service, including who does the work An agency quote may cover presentation, enquiries, negotiation and viewings that the owner handles in a seller-led model. A legal quote may exclude searches, translations, representation or unusual title work. Request a written breakdown so the cheaper headline is not simply a different service. Ask when the provider earns the fee and what happens if the sale does not complete. Properly is paid at the start after suitability, scope and engagement are agreed. A completion-contingent commission and an upfront fixed package have different financial consequences, even if one has a lower number in a calculator. ## Treat percentage examples as arithmetic, not a market average For a €350,000 sale, an illustrative 5% service fee is €17,500 before any VAT or other charges. That calculation does not establish that every Cyprus agent charges 5%, that the quote includes a lawyer or that the alternative produces the same result. Enter your actual quotes when comparing. The Properly fee does not rise because the property price rises. Equally, on a lower-value property or a narrowly scoped legal assignment, another fixed quote may be lower than €3,995. The useful question is what you receive, who is responsible and what you will pay under the circumstances that actually apply. ## Keep public charges and taxes outside the service-fee comparison The official transfer process requires specified documents and clearances. Ask the lawyer and tax adviser which obligations fall on each party, whether an exemption applies and which records support the calculation. A service package does not cancel an official liability. Old online guides can describe taxes or charges that have changed. In particular, the official registrar has published the repeal of the Stamp Duties Laws. Check the date and legal basis of any budget line instead of copying a historical percentage into a current transaction.

Ask the lender for current payoff and release instructions, including any conditions that apply to your facility. A registry search and a bank redemption statement serve different purposes. Record who obtains the statement, how the release is to be coordinated and which dates matter. If the sale proceeds may not meet the lender’s requirements, raise that issue before agreeing an optimistic handover plan.

[Optional marketing](https://properly.cy/services/property-marketing) is a separate €1,900 including VAT, with the content, distribution, media allowance and platform costs defined in writing. Government charges, taxes, debt repayment and work outside scope remain separate unless expressly included. The agreement must identify the package purchaser, the independent professional and their client, the included work, fee allocation and cancellation terms. Opening a case is free and does not authorise a payment. Use the case to request a clear scope rather than treating a budget estimate as a completed engagement. ## Your preparation checklist - List fees, taxes, charges, debt and optional work separately. - Compare like-for-like written quotes including VAT. - Check upfront versus completion-contingent payment terms. - Obtain current lender figures where relevant. - Identify exclusions and the person purchasing the package. ## Questions about your next move. When is the Properly fixed fee payable? At the start after suitability, scope and professional engagement are agreed. It is not a completion-only fee and is separate from the property purchase price. Does the package include tax and mortgage repayment? No, unless the written scope expressly includes a particular cost. Taxes, official charges, debt repayment and work outside the agreed package are separate. Reviewed 22 October 2026. If you plan to buy in 2027, recheck the official requirements before signing.
