What are the Typical Real Estate Closing Costs in the Philippines?

What and how much are the typical closing fees that a buyer and seller usually pay in the Philippines? (i.e. taxes, transfer fees, lender fees, etc.)

All Taxes and Fees are based on the Deed Of Sale Selling Price for any property. Here is a normal standard breakdown of who pays for what, unless other agreements have been made between the buyer and seller:

Seller Pays:

1. 6% Capital Gains Tax to the BIR.
2. Brokers Commission (whatever was agrred upon in the Authority to Sell Letter).
3. 1/2 of the total cost of Notary Fees.

Buyer Pays:

1. Documentary Stamps which is 1.5% of the Selling Price.
2. New Title Registration Fee of .25% of the Selling Price.
3. Title Transfer Tax of a maximum of .75% of the selling Price.
4. And a Service Fee and Issuance of Title Fee of about Php 5,000 maximum.
5. 1/2 of the total cost of Notary Fees.
