Transfer Costs
Question
If a house or a car is sold who should bear the transfer costs?
Answer
The buyer will bear the transfer costs as the seller is only responsible for all those costs that are necessary for handing over the goods. Transfer costs (such as for registering the item on the seller’s name) are not from amongst these costs.
