Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
A pre-sale legal pack in Ireland prepares the contract for sale and title documents before a buyer is found, so the sale goes more smoothly. This service delivers a draft contract for sale with special conditions, the title documents, planning, BER and property tax information for houses, and management company, service charge and MUD Act replies for apartments. If you later instruct your solicitor for the full sale, the price of this pack is credited against the sale fee.
The price shown is the full professional fee for the service as described, and any third-party or State fees are listed separately where they apply. If your matter needs more than this service covers, a solicitor would explain the options before any further work is done.

Why prepare a legal pack before selling?
It helps identify and fix issues early, reducing delays once a buyer is found.

Management company, service charge and MUD Act information.
