We at Terry Gorry & Co. Solicitors provide a full, personal and professional service in property purchases and sales.
When looking at houses for sale in Ireland or buying and/or selling any type of property, whether residential or commercial, it is important to ensure that the legalities are fully complied with.
Ending up with a poor title to your property or a title that will be unacceptable to your lender will lead to significant and serious problems.
Many people would consider buying or selling property to be similar to any other purchase but this is not the case and there are a range of issues that can crop up to create problems if the transaction is not carried out properly, regardless of whether you are buying or selling and regardless of whether the property is commercial or residential.
Some important factors to be considered by your legal advisors include
- Planning
- Financing
- Family home legislation
- Acceptable title (good marketable title)
- Searches for judgments etc.
- Registration with Land Registry or Registry of Deeds
- Stamp duty and capital gains tax
- Contract for sale
- Completion of sale and any problems arising at closing or post completion
These are the most important factors to be taken care of by your solicitor, depending on whether you are buying or selling. It never ceases to amaze us how many people seek to cut corners when it comes to legal fees in their property purchase/sale.
We recognize that it is perfectly natural to want to keep costs to a minimum, especially in the current difficult economic climate, but the long term ramifications and costs of a botched conveyance could far exceed any perceived saving at the outset.
