Conveyancing: Calculating additional outlay cost when selling a property
Apart from the conveyancing fee quoted from your property solicitor, there are additional costs in selling a property in Ireland.
Estate agent fees
the estate agent is the first person that you will engage when selling your property. The estate agent is responsible for marketing your property and will usually charge between 1-2% of the sale price plus VAT and outlays.
BER Certificate
It is a legal requirement to furnish the purchaser with a BER Certificate. This rates the energy performance of the property. The property will be rated between A-G. There is no requirement to have a particular energy rating, however, you must have the BER Cert. The cost of a BER cert is usually between €150- €400.
Title Deeds
Taking up title deeds from the bank: In order to draft he contracts your solicitor will have to order the deeds from the bank. AIB and EBS do not charge a fee to release the deeds whereas Bank of Ireland charge 63.00 whereas PTSB charge about €35.
Folio
Up to date Folio and File Plan: this is an up-to-date title deed and map. It is ordered from the Land Registry at a cost of €40.00
Certified copy instrument
If there is a burden registered on the property, a certified copy of that burden must be furnished to the purchaser by the seller. This is ordered from the Land Registry at a cost of €40.00.
Land Registry Map
If the property is a Registry of Deeds title it will be necessary for the purchaser to make an application to register the property in the Land Registry on completion of the sale. In order to complete registration in the Land Registry the purchaser will need a land registry compliant map. The map must be furnished by the seller. The map is prepared by an architect/engineer and can cost between €200-€500.
Planning Permission Cert
Certificate of compliance with Planning Permission and Building Regulations: if the seller has carried out any works to the structure of the property, for example an extension, it will be necessary for the seller to furnish a Certificate of Compliance with Planning Permission and Building Regulations. These certificates are prepared by an architect/engineer and usually cost between €400 and €800.

Michael and Sinead were a great help and guided us expertly through the property purchase process from start to finish. They were most thorough and made the whole experience seamless .I would have no hesitations in recommending them!
First off, big thank you to Michael and Sinead for helping us close our new home. It's a stressful process and they truly helped us at every step, especially in the closing stages where we were following up multiple times a day! Overall, I'd highly recommend working with the team here since they are helpful, quick and efficient.The only feedback I would have, and this is coming from someone who isn't from Ireland, is that it would be super helpful if the team would have an initial consultation where they would explain the entire process in detail. A lot of times we were learning new things on the go which was a bit worrisome (even though Michael and Sinead had it under control).Other than that, great experience. Thank you, both!
Michael was brilliant from start to finish with all our property selling and buying so we could get our dream home! Available when needed and extremely helpful. Would recommend 100%.
I recently had the pleasure of working with MB Solicitors for the sale of my apartment, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth, efficient, and stress-free. Special thanks to Dora, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled meticulously. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication made all the difference. I always felt informed and supported throughout the transaction. I highly recommend MB Solicitors, for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of property sales with ease.

I would highly recommend MB Solicitors. Michael and the team were very easy to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. They provided both a friendly and professional service which removed a lot of stress from the mortgage process. Fees were also very reasonable.
Michael and Sinead were great in helping us buy our new build house. As is expected there were loads of delays on the developers side but as soon as things were needed Michael or Sinead were on top of it. They were both great at explaining every step to us and answering all of our questions as this is our first house so a lot of things were new to us. We just received the keys today and in time to avoid another mortgage rate increase! We're delighted and grateful to MBSolicitors for their work. I would recommend reaching out to them if you are buying a house
I've been working with Michael and Sinead Burns to complete my mortgage last year. My mortgage was a complicated one with so many moving parts, and they were excellent!Even after I moved into my apartment, they remained supportive and helpful with multiple related issues and did not hesitate to assist.I highly recommend MBSolicitors.
