    Hi,

    Grateful for any advice.

    My solicitor was quoted 240+VAT by a third party to carry out a planning search for a property in Limerick.

    Can anyone recommend someone a little cheaper to carry out the planning search? House is 1940's in the city area so archives aren't digitised I believe.

    Thanks.

    240 plus vat is a good price.

    The greatest value is that if they balls it up, you immediately claim against their professional indemnity insurance. For that alone it's worth the 240.

    A house is a huge purchase. Don't skimp.

    Best of luck.

    Thanks myshirt.

    I'm just minded to ask by my solicitor(based elsewhere) as they're used to €125+VAT being the typical fee, as opposed to €240+VAT.

    Is that the typical fee in the Limerick area?

    Thanks.

    All I would say to you is if you think the guy at 240 is expensive, wait until you see what the guy at 125 will cost you. I wouldn't mess around over 100 or so quid.
