How Irish Conveyancing Works

A typical residential property transaction in Ireland follows these key stages.

  1. 01

    Sale Agreed

    Buyer and seller agree a price. Both parties appoint solicitors. The estate agent issues a "sale agreed" letter.

  2. 02

    Contracts Issued

    The vendor's solicitor prepares the contract and title documents. The buyer's solicitor reviews these and raises any queries.

  3. 03

    Mortgage Approval

    If applicable, the buyer's bank issues a formal loan offer. The buyer's solicitor reviews the mortgage conditions.

  4. 04

    Contracts Signed & Deposit Paid

    Both parties sign the contract. The buyer pays the balance of the deposit (typically 10%). The sale is now legally binding.

  5. 05

    Closing

    The balance of the purchase price is paid. Keys are released. Title is transferred and registered with the Property Registration Authority.
