Adjustment of rates as of January 1, 2026
We'd like to inform you of an important change to our services. Effective January 1, 2026, we will be adjusting the rates for several services. For some services, the rates will be increased, for others, they will be decreased, and for others, the rates will remain unchanged.
We understand that an increase is always frustrating, but we want to assure you that this decision was not taken lightly. We've done everything we can to keep our rates as competitive as possible, while continuing to provide our services with impeccable dedication and integrity.
Naturally, we're faced with rising costs from suppliers, rent, insurance, IT, and other unavoidable business expenses. But because we, as a team, accurately track our time, we can accurately determine the cost per deed. We also believe it's important to continue investing in our organization—in people, knowledge, and information technology—so we can continue to serve our clients even better, faster, and more efficiently—meaning more cost-effectively. The higher rates are being mitigated somewhat, however, because the production process has been streamlined and the use of AI has reduced production time. This benefits our clients. Furthermore, some notary fees are deductible from income tax, and business clients can reclaim VAT.
We also want to be transparent about the changes and have incorporated them into our website. Before we begin providing our services, every client receives a contract of engagement with appendices, clearly defining the terms and conditions of our services, including the applicable rates.
We are ready to serve our customers again starting in the new year.
