Legal fees for selling a house

Carnmore

How much would the conveyancing fee be for selling a house and settling a mortgage (incl/ex VAT) ?

Which outlay items apply to selling a house and how much do they cost? (there is no management company and the estate the house is on was taken in charge last year)

Thanks in advance.

2005 purchase - legal costs, Dublin-based sol:

900 + VAT


2018, quotes from same sol as in 2005


Purchase plus mortgage = 1450 + VAT + outlays

Sale = 1250 + VAT

Plus outlays? If not how much would they be?

Sorry, I've never sold a house, yet, and so am not familiar with the selling outlays.

I presume you are using an estate agent ,they charge 1.5 per cent usually,
and maybe a fee for advertising costs.
1.5 per cent of the sale price. plus vat.
i think most solicitors charge from 1000-1200 plus vat for conveyancing.
The agents show the house ,deal with enquirys and pass on bids to your
you .
If a bid is accepted the buyer may need to put down a deposit.

i think theres no fee from the bank if you mean you are paying the loan off 100per cent
eg you borrowed 150k,
the house sells for 180k.
The mortgage is paid off ,the bank sends the appropriate documents
plus the house deeds to your solicitor.
go to the bank ask them is there any else you need to do before selling the house.

Is there also a land registry fee for removing the mortgage from the title?

Got another quote so a big difference. Prof fee 1500 aot 2200.



2nd firm seeking the below docs. Has anyone experience of this?




- certificate of discharge re NPPR charges.

- LPT property charge details.



Do I write to revenue for both of these? Does that take long?



- certificate of discharge from irish water re any outstanding charges. These should have been paid by my tenants.



Do I need to ask them to get this or can I contact Irish Water as the owner?
