Look for a fixed fee but bear in mind the fee will likely be Ex vat. The solicitor may also charge for undertakings to the bank and a fee in relation to correspondence. A good guide (IMHO) all in is about €1400 ex vat all in + Outlays (see below).

You'll also have to pay outlays, these could be significant, running into four figures easily.

Don't forget your stamp duty.

Thanks, I definitely need to do more research to understand the cost.

If possible, could you pls expand what exactly the outlays include.
I was thinking of additional cost only as
- Solicitor fees- 1500 ( will try to get a fixed fee)
- Valuation of property
- Stamp duty

Outlays are anything the solicitor has to pay in order to complete the sale. Land registry fees were the biggest issue in my case c.€900.

I've seen people get the professional fee for as low as €850+VAT. €1500 for the profession fee is loads but bear in mind the outlays. You probably need to budget €2500 to be safe for legal fees.

Thanks Mark,
