Chapter 3: Money, Money, Money

For example, if you bought a €250,000 home you would pay €2,500 + €537.50 in solicitor fees plus all the legal outlays.

In recent years, there has been increased competition in the market, with some solicitors now offering a discounted, flat fee service.

It is very important to shop around, as one solicitor could charge thousands of euros more than another.

4. Legal Outlays

In addition to legal fees, you will have to pay legal outlays.

Legal outlays are the legal costs associated with buying or selling a property which you pay through your solicitor.

These include land registry fees, legal searches and commissioner fees.

The actual cost will depend on the specific property, whether it’s new or second hand, a house or an apartment and the contract price of the property.

You can calculate your legal outlays on the Moving.ie website
