I am not following you, in the example I posted there is no "lawyer" (corrupt or belonging to a cartel or not) involved (as normally there are no lawyers involved in "normal" real estate transactions).

What I posted ar only usual fees and taxes.

Usual for Italy buying a house is a lot cheaper in the UK - France is even worse lawyers can charge 12% or so.
