With us, the notary did not check anything. We still had all the invoices for the kitchen, awning, bathroom furniture, of course, and told the buyer the individual amounts. He asked the notary if it would be possible to accept sum X for everything in the contract. The answer was, "If that’s what you want, I will record it as such." Whether he would have said that with a ratio of €330,000 to €20,000, I do not know. The purchase price was significantly higher and the amount for furniture was only slightly higher.
That is also not the notary’s task. He drafts a legally sound contract and advises you. His only job is to write down the wishes/requirements of two parties in a legally proper manner. He is not a tax advisor.
Legally sound is also €400k for furniture and €50k for the house price. Whether the tax office or you as the buyer will have fun with that is another question.
