A right of mortgage is created by means of a notarial deed. A certified copy of the notarial deed must be registered at the Land Registry. A legal charge of approximately EUR 250 must be paid for registration and mandatory searches at the Land Registry. Notarial fees are not fixed and depend on the work carried out by the relevant Dutch notary.
