    Vast majority of land nowadays is registered title (land registry title) but there is some areas of unregistered title (registry of deeds)

    If you Google registered and unregistered land you will get a sense of the difference

    Fees and outlay quoted look in order btw

    There are two systems of registration of land in Ireland. New system of the land registry and old system of registry of deeds. It’s not how old a house is but just certain areas are still in the old system eg in Cork areas such as Blackpool, Blackrock etc can be registry of deeds. Under law if you buy a house now in the old system of registry of deeds, it has to be converted to new system so generally your legal fees are more.

    Registry of Deeds is more legal title paperwork to be reviewed and if anything is missing or any issues that can affect registration, it can slow down your purchase or mean you can’t buy.

    However even though legal fees are higher, outlays are lower. Outlays are usually the fees the property registration authority charge to register the house and mortgage. You can check their fees online prai.ie website. You’ll see you could easily have €1k alone in outlay with them for land registry whereas Registry of Deeds is €130.

    But as previous poster said, fees look in order. Some solicitors may charge a set fee rather than % basis but may not be much difference in reality.
