Defaults are commonly quoted figures, not official rates. Edit any of them to match the quote in front of you.
Read this before you trust the number. Colombia has no single published schedule of transaction costs that applies everywhere. Rates vary by notaría, by municipality and by what the parties negotiate. Every percentage below is editable for exactly that reason. Treat the output as a planning band to sanity-check a quote, not as a quote. Confirm the real figures with your notaría and your own lawyer before you commit money.
Numbers checked. Now the harder part.
Knowing what a purchase costs is the easy half. Knowing whether the asking price is real is the half that needs someone local.
