Frequently Asked Questions

What are the legal differences when buying a new build?

New build purchases involve reviewing the builder’s contract rather than a standard Law Society contract, checking planning permissions, confirming compliance with building regulations, and often dealing with management company documents for apartments.

Is stamp duty payable on new build properties?

Yes — stamp duty at 1% applies on new build purchases up to €1 million. First-time buyers may also be eligible for the Help-to-Buy scheme, which provides a rebate of up to €30,000.

What is a snag list and who handles it?

A snag list identifies defects in a new build that the builder must remedy before or shortly after completion. Your solicitor handles the legal aspects; you should also commission an independent engineer to prepare the snag list.
