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.
Conveyancing for selling your home in Ireland covers the legal work on the seller’s side for one fixed professional fee, agreed in writing before you appoint us. It includes drafting the contract for sale, replying to the buyer’s solicitor, title investigation, BER coordination, management company clearance requests for apartments, mortgage redemption, closing and accounting to you for the net proceeds, and Land Registry or Registry of Deeds dealings. Third-party outlays are not included, and you receive a written estimate of them before appointing us.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does conveyancing cost for selling a house 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.
How long does selling a house take?
Typically 6 to 10 weeks from sale agreed to closing, if the buyer’s mortgage and title are straightforward.
What if my sale falls through?
You are charged for the work done up to that point, not the full price, on terms agreed at the outset.
