Are purchasers normally required to pay 2.5% in advance, and is 75,000 euros a reasonable cost for a 2-bed apartment. Thank you for your help.

Is this 2.5 or 25% of the loan. 2.5% is very high for an arrangement fee. 25% of the property valuation is the norm. As for 75,000 for a 2 bed apartment. I know of no where in Bucharest that you would bbuy such a property for 75,000 euro. Average 2 bed apartment will be around 100 meters constructible including common area. Pure build costs on this alsone would make it impossible at this price. No one is buying a 2 bed apartment anywhere in Bucharest let alone Romania at this money.
