Recommend a solicitor for speedy house purchase?

BookBook

Anyone recommend a good solicitor in Dublin who will help push through a house purchase quickly?

I have heard lots of stories of people having difficulty with their own solicitor regarding communication or trying to get things moving and I want to avoid that as much as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Don't forget that the other side may have a slow solicitor and, while it helps for you to have an efficient and dilligent solicitor yourself, he/she may be frustrated by the other side. This may be due to an incompetent solicitor, bank/mortgage issues, vendors being caught in a chain, etc.

Thanks sarkozy, good points there and they are all many reasons why I don't want my side slowing things down any further.

It takes at least 6 weeks I believe, maybe longer depending on a number of factors!

Our solicitor has been an absolute champ and has really pushed for ours to go through. The bank have slowed it up considerably but she has kept on top of them and has kept us in the loop the whole way about what was happening. I can pm you her info if you want. I'd definitely recommend her.

Please do. I would really appreciate it. Also send me cost details if you can but don't worry if you don't.

We just closed, and our solicitor (recommended by killers1 here) was great in getting us through the finish line when the other side was stalling. I'll PM you her details.

If you wouldn't mind sending a pm with their details that would be great, only have two prices one €1250 and the other is €1000 both ex vat

PMs sent to everyone who asked!

isn't the 1,000.00 to 1,250.00 just the professional fee and its extra for the searches transfer of deed/title etc?

I was told to expect to pay 2-2500k by my bank

You're unlikely to get it much cheaper than 1,000

Should only be another 3-400 in drawer opening fees on top of that.

Land Registry fees will add substantially, I would say Zadkiel is spot on with the 2-2.5k ballpark.

Agreed.
Land registry fee €600-€800, depending on house price
Register mortgage €175
Searches €140
Commisioner of Oaths, folio, etc €55

Easily adds a grand on top of the professional fee + vat.

I bought in 2005, paying 900 + VAT + outlays to a D4 solicitor.

Based on a recent (cash) purchase that I am aware of, the same sol is charging a very similar fee.

Maybe the fee is less as there isn't a mortgage...........

I'm surprised it hasn't gone up in 8 years, very surprised.

I bought about 4 years ago. Unsure of exact amount but it was less than 2k, think it was no more 1.8k but when shopping around for quotes I did receive a couple quotes over 2k but mostly were less than 2k.

The land registry fees have risen massively since then, they are 50 - 70% more now.

I got a quote today for professional fee of €995 (including 23% vat) from a solicitor in Dublin. Does not include outlays

Has anyone managed to get a quote less than this?

I am also looking to purchase a couple of properties and was wondering if anyone does bulk deals

Please don't go on the basis of cost alone. I made that mistake with my first purchase, and regretted it. It was a straightforward purchase - a 10 year old apartment - and he managed to mess up which I only discovered a few years later when I went to refinance. Had to fork out for another solicitor to sort out. Thankfully it got sorted.

I've am unreal solicitor down in tipp he got the sale done within two weeks of house I was selling and 4 weeks when buying! 1800 for everything!

Hi guys, I would really appreciate PMs of a recommended solicitor in South Dublin and an idea of the cost. Thanks a million

Just as an aside, do you have to have a solicitor in the same county as you are in or can everything be done via email and phone now?
