U.S. PROPERTY

Aine001

Does anyone know if there are any Solicitors in Ireland, preferably Dublin/Kildare that deal with reviewing documents received from the US re purchasing a property there?

I have received documents to sign and cannot make head nor tail of them and need to go to someone who would have a knowledge of U.S. real estate law.

Thanks

Its probably more complicated than that - each state will have its own property laws. Sure there will be a lot of commonality, but its the subtleties that you want to pay someone for.

What state are you buying in?

Thanks for that...

We are trying to buy in Orlando, Florida, but have run into a lot of problems already with a seller who has duped us so we are trying to be really wary as we continue. We have sent deposits that are non refundable quite a lot of money and are now tied into a transaction that we have to proceed with or lose the deposit. Feel really stupid at how we have been played and just want to make sure we are covered from now on .

THANKS AGAIN

PS am new to this so don't know where the Thank You button is!!!:D

Be wary that a lot of 'hot' places like Florida have taken a battering in the property market, so don't overpay, just so you don't lose the deposit. It might be better to buy cheaper elsewhere and absorb the loss of the deposit.

You will need to check with your solicitor / attorney if non-refundable deposits are legal in Florida.

Some Irish solicitors have advertised ability to advise on property outside Ireland. The Law society would probably have the names. However most irish lawyers would probably consult a lawyer in the area. As already stated there are differences in law and practise between various states
