Undivided Share of Land Advice

Undivided share of land advice in Ireland helps owners of a share in land held jointly with others understand their options. We assess the share, the partition route and the cost. Old undivided shares can stop sales, mortgages and family transfers, so a clear plan is the first step to resolving them.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does undivided share advice 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 is an undivided share of land?

It means you own a share of the whole property with others, rather than a defined part of it. Each co-owner’s share must be dealt with to sell or divide the land.

How can undivided shares be resolved?

Often by agreement between co-owners, or by a court application for partition or sale. The advice sets out the likely route and cost.
