Cost of solicitor when purchasing a house

cheadle999

I have gone sale agreed on a house and am looking for a solicitor but am unsure of how much i should be paying. Do they still charge a % of the sale price or is it a fixed rate nowadays and if anybody knew roughly what price or % that usually is that would be great. Thanks.

Lots of current threads relating to this with info and examples.

Search 'solicitor fees' in this forum.

We paid circa €2500 in April of this year.
Bought for €215k in north Dublin.

That includes the now mandatory registration of deeds etc

Edit : stamp duty would be in top of that figure.

i just got this from a quick google search.
Most people pay 1 per cent stamp duty .
There s no set fee ,its up to each solicitor to set the fee .
