What a notary does
The notary draws up the deed of sale, checks ownership and any charges on the property, holds the funds securely and registers the transfer with the authorities. Their job is to make the sale legally watertight and to protect buyer and seller alike.
How it works with HUZO
You build your dossier yourself in the platform. Once you have accepted an offer, you tell us which notary you have chosen. When your dossier is complete you send it to that office yourself, with a single click; only then does the notary get secure access to read it directly online. Nothing ever goes out automatically. We don’t draw up the deed or any legal document, and we don’t give legal advice – that is the notary’s work. This access is included with every HUZO package.
Choosing your notary
You always choose your own notary. HUZO does not appoint or recommend one. In Belgium, notary fees are set by law and identical at every office, so you can choose purely on availability and convenience.
What it costs
Notary fees and registration duties are fixed by Belgian law and, in most cases, paid by the buyer. HUZO takes no margin: the notary invoices you directly.
