Bank Fees?

[bramleylad]

Hi all , we will shortly be finishing paying off our mortgage on our property in GA ,(hurrah! ) , our bank ,Bankinter have told us there are some extra costs ( surprise,surprise!! ) associated to this, apparently the bank takes documents  to the notary to cancel off the mortgage ,€300 for the notary,then if the banks solicitors pick it up from the notary and give it to the land register it's €500 ( no charge if we do this ourselves ) ,then the land register cancel the mortgage €200 ,grand total €1,000 ! ,just wondered if anyone had any experience of this and how easy is it to do the transfer of documents from notary to land register as €500 seems a bit steep to take a few documents from one place to another!! ,thanks for any info

just go to any notary and ask him to make a price for "cancelación de hipoteca". He will immediately quote you, take copy of the notarial documents with you if you like.
Simplest and easiest system. Any notaría works with gestorías and will tell you immediately the approx. price.
