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.
The vendor’s solicitor investigates title, prepares the contract for sale, deals with the buyer’s solicitor, handles the redemption of any mortgage and oversees completion. Government outlays, such as Land Registry fees and searches, are charged at cost and agreed in advance.
Where your matter needs legal work, you instruct a solicitor directly; we provide information and self-complete templates only. The price is set, with no billable hours and no surprise invoices, and the service is fully online, so there is no need to travel to an office.

Frequently asked questions
How much does conveyancing for a house sale 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.
What does a vendor’s solicitor do?
Investigates title, prepares the contract, answers the buyer’s solicitor’s queries, redeems any mortgage and completes the sale.
Do I need CGT clearance?
For sales above a certain value, a CGT clearance certificate may be needed to avoid a withholding by the buyer. The service includes advice on this.
