Conveyancing Costs in Ireland 2025: What You’ll Actually Pay
Buying or selling a property in Ireland means you’ll need a solicitor — it’s a legal requirement. But what should you actually expect to pay? This guide breaks down conveyancing costs honestly, so you know exactly what’s involved.
What Does Conveyancing Cost in Ireland?
Traditional solicitor fees for residential conveyancing in Ireland typically range from €1,500 to €3,000 plus VAT, based on hourly billing at €200–€350 per hour. At Online Legal Services, our fixed fee for a standard residential purchase starts from €950 all-in.
What’s Included in Conveyancing?
- Title search and review
- Contract review and negotiation
- Liaison with bank’s solicitor
- Stamp duty return filing
- Registration with the Land Registry
- Completion and key handover coordination
Fixed Fee vs Hourly Rate
The key advantage of a fixed fee is certainty. With hourly billing, a complication — a title issue, a delayed bank drawdown, a query from the other side’s solicitor — adds cost that you can’t predict. Our fixed fee covers the full transaction regardless of how long it takes.
Other Costs to Budget For
Beyond solicitor fees, budget for: stamp duty (1% on properties up to €1m), Land Registry fees (€400–€800 depending on property value), search fees (€150–€300), and your mortgage provider’s legal fees if applicable.
