- Review and negotiation of the contract for sale
- Full investigation of title, planning and compliance documents
- Pre-contract enquiries and requisitions on title
- Handling your lender’s requirements and mortgage drawdown
- Closing searches on the day of completion
- Completion of the purchase and transfer of funds

What’s Not Included — Outlays
Outlays are third-party costs paid on your behalf: stamp duty (a Revenue tax — 1% of the purchase price for most residential purchases), Land Registry (Tailte Éireann) registration fees, closing searches, AML / identity verification and bank transfer fees.
Every transaction is different, so we don’t publish one-size-fits-all outlay figures. We quote your outlays case by case and itemise them in writing before you commit — always at cost, never marked up.
How It Works
- Request a callback — we confirm your matter is suitable, complete ID and anti-money-laundering checks, and you formally instruct a solicitor. Payment is only taken once a solicitor would confirm a solicitor would act.
- Contracts & title review (weeks 1–3) — we receive contracts from the vendor’s solicitor and investigate title, planning and compliance.
- Pre-contract enquiries (weeks 3–6) — we raise queries, review replies and deal with your lender’s requirements.
- Signing & deposit (weeks 6–8) — you sign contracts and pay the deposit; the transaction becomes binding.
- Completion (weeks 8–12) — closing searches, transfer of funds, and you collect your keys.
- After completion — a solicitor would file your stamp duty return and register you as owner with Tailte Éireann.
Buying And Selling?
If you are selling your current home and buying a new one, we coordinate both closings so you are never left without a roof or a bridge of funds. request a callback for a combined quote.
