    If you have a solicitor that you have used in the past and were happy with and purchasing or selling elsewhere in the country then just use the solicitor you've used in the past, you don't need to employ a "local" solicitor.

    Hello,

    I am also looking for a good conveyancing solicitor in Dublin. Needs to be reliable and efficient but not necessarily the cheapest. I would appreaciate a PM if anybody has a recommendation. Thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,165 ✭✭✭stargazer 68


    Hi folks. Had our offer accepted on a property. Now need to find a Solicitor. I have been ringing around but would appreciate any recommendations. Im in North Dublin. Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,003 ✭✭✭handlemaster


    You dont need to use a solicitor from the area or county your buying in. Its only paper work that can be done from anywhere. If you find a solicitor is good in kerry or roscommon for example no reason not to us to buy a property in dublin. There is no great mystery on the law side of buying a property

    Correct but sometimes experience in certain nuances of conveying property is essential. Not many properties in Kerry would be leasehold title whereas in Dublin many are. In that situation I would much prefer have a solicitor that deals with leaseholds all the time rather than one who hasnt dealt with one in years. The opposite can often be true too -if you were buying farmland in Kerry and problems with title arose a country solicitor would tend to be better versed than a city based one.

    The law is the law. Doesnt matter. They will read up on any points they dont know. There's nothing special with law work. It will be replaced to a large extent over the next few years with AI.

    :D

    All solicitors are NOT the same. There are cases where conveyancing is badly screwed up and it takes more than a decade to resolve.

    My point isnt about reading up on points of law, it is about a solicitor knowing how the law works in specific circumstances and that is what a good experienced solicitor brings to the table.

    Not all solicitors are created equally yet you are arguing that no matter what one you use the outcome will be the same. Well unfortunately that is not true, using a solicitor who is not experienced in what they are doing can land you in a whole world of trouble. That is why I am saying that using a Kerry solicitor to process the purchase of a property with a complex leasehold title in Dublin is not good advice. To a good Dublin solicitor leasehold titles will be bread and butter, to a good Kerry solicitor they may never have even transacted one before and no amount of reading up will mitigate the potential land mines along the way.

    Thanks!

    I'm also looking for solicitor recommendations for buying in Leixlip/Celbridge/Lucan area. Thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,108 ✭✭✭TheSheriff


    Would also appreciate if someone could recommend a solicitor please? Looking for south dublin.

    P.S: I know its against the rules, but would it not be possible to have a list of solicitors instead of endless PM requests - just a list with location?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,804 ✭✭✭Benzino


    Also interested for some recommendations in Dublin, thanks.

    I echo the above, a list would be handy rather than asking for a pm :)

    Looking for a recommendation for a good solicitor in Dublin, south Dublin preferably for selling our house , thanks

    Looking for a good solicitor for a house purchase in Dublin 15 please. Currently with a solicitor based in Blanchardstown Village but level of service has been beyond terrible, so looking to change asap. Would appreciate recommendations for solicitors who communicate well and have good attention to detail.

    My experience of all solicitors so far is poor communication and no attention to detail. It seems to be the exception to get a good one. Went off a recommendation here before for one in Tallaght village and she was beyond bad. Undercharged us by €700 (I figured it out and said nothing, waited for her to find the error). 6 months later got a Letter demanding the money or my property wouldn’t be registered with the land registry.

    Thanks, this is my first house purchase and I'm astonished at the incompetence and lack of communication I've seen so far. They never reply to my emails, don't know who I am when I call, and took two weeks to send me out documentation only to get my name wrong on every page along with getting the figures wrong by 100000 euro... It seems I could waste more time changing solicitor and end up in the same mess. Hard to know what's best really. At least I'm not the only one suffering.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 782 ✭✭✭Dolbhad


    I have mentioned this before. For house purchase you only need to visit your solicitor once to sign everything. You could think of getting recommendations of solicitors outside of Dublin. Could be cheaper, less busy and maybe better to deal with?

    House sale similar?
    Also maybe a stupid question - do people use the same solicitor if selling a house and purchasing another ?
