CMS Guide to Real Estate Transaction Costs and Taxes in Europe

Comparing real estate investment values across Europe provides only part of the picture. For a true comparison, the investor will also take account of transaction costs and taxes, which can differ widely from one jurisdiction to another.

This CMS guide provides an accessible comparison of the principal European countries in which we have offices. The quotes assume a single investment property acquisition or disposal or single corporate acquisition or disposal as appropriate.

Please note that legislation is in a state of constant flux, the resulting changes will affect transaction costs and taxes.

This is a rough guide only; for more specific information about a particular investment or transaction, please contact the relevant colleague at the end of this guide.
