Not included: notary copies and folios (they depend on the length of the deed), gestoría, valuation, mortgage costs (the AJD on the mortgage deed is paid by the lender). The notary's deed fee is shown apart: by default the seller pays the deed and the buyer the first copy (Civil Code, art. 1455), unless the contract says otherwise. The land registry fee is paid by the person in whose favour the right is registered, the buyer (Real Decreto 1427/1989, annex II, rule 8). The loan uses 80% of the price, the usual maximum described by the Banco de España (not a legal cap), and the Banco de España average rate on mortgage loans for open-market housing, not an offer.
