Deed of Easement Drafting

Deed of easement drafting in Ireland puts a right of way, drainage, services or other easement into a clean, registrable deed. A solicitor would draft a deed that protects everyone. Granting or buying an easement should be done by deed, not a handshake, so that it can be registered and relied on by future owners.

You can upload your folio, deeds, contract, photos or other documents through our secure link; a solicitor would then typically review everything before preparing advice. There is no hourly billing: the price is fixed for the service described. Property and land issues are usually easier and cheaper to resolve early, before a sale, mortgage or family transfer is held up. The advice is based on Irish law and practice and on the documents you provide, so the more complete your documents, the more precise the advice can be. If the advice shows that further work is needed, such as correspondence, a Land Registry application or a planning or court process, a solicitor would explain the options and any further cost before anything else is done.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a deed of easement cost in Ireland?

This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.

Why put an easement in a deed?

A deed gives certainty, can be registered on the folio and binds future owners, reducing the risk of later disputes.

Does the easement need to be registered?

Registering the easement on the relevant folios is strongly recommended. The deed comes with registration instructions.
