    Can anyone here tell me how much the government fee is to Register the Deed of Transfer for a house? I'm trying to work a deal out with a solicitor, this is one of his charges and I want to know if this is the government charge or his charge to do it for me.

    Likely its what the Land Registry charge, not your solicitor. His/her fee for registering should be included in the professional fee. Land Registry fees depend on the value...

    I'm assuming its a second hand house. If its a newly built house, the price for the site will usually be less than the entire purchase price (which will include building works). The Land Registry fee should be based on the value of the land only. If its a new Lease (say for an apartment) the fee is €85 only and includes a mortgage. If its a new freehold title (a house) there will also be a fee of €60 for the new folio.

    I'm assuming its a Land Registry title - if its the older Registry of Deeds system, the fee is €44. If you have a mortgage that €88

    Well the breakdown of the costs has a section titled Outlay costs, government charges paid on your behalf.
    Fee to register Deed of Transfer 500
    Fee for up to date copy folio 25
    then it has the usual searches and that.

    I don't know for sure, but usually these things don't work out at nice even numbers like 500 and 25, especially after the conversion to euros.

    A tactful way to move this forward might be to ask whether these are working estimates (prices might vary a little depending on what the title is like), or actual costs.

    Thanks for the info, I used Oasis to check how much stamp duty I would pay but didn't think to look for this on it.
