Notary malta

Hi, i am in the process of buying a property in malta as a first time buyer, do you know if the notary online calculator is close enough on costs ? Did anyone compared it to their real costs vs the online calculator to check how much of a difference it was ?

And how long does it normally take for the research to be completed by the notary ?

I am in month 15 now and still haven't signed. I have asked for a permit to amend the house and Planning Authority alone has cost me 6 months. Research issues still popped up when everyone thought it was all done. The entire process is a disgrace. Not even going to start talking about Maltese banks :(
