What does buying a home in Belgium actually cost?

The advertised price is only the beginning. Registration duties vary by Wallonia, Brussels or Flanders, and preferential treatments depend on property type, buyers, dates, ownership and intended occupation. A reduced rate must never be selected because a user chose English, French or Dutch.

Practical explanation

Your first answer separates purchase price less borrowing, available savings after a reserve and the indicative regional duty calculation.
A purchase deed and a mortgage deed can generate separate professional charges, taxes and disbursements. A partial notarial tariff is not a full quotation.
Unknown works, bank fees or legal status remain visible and are excluded from a provisional subtotal; they are not assumed to be zero.
