Plan ahead for a speedy sale
Don’t be put off by the volume of documentation required. Properties are bought and sold every day of the week in Ireland and while the process might seem complicated, it exists for the protection of everyone involved in the sale.
Everyone engaging in the property market, both buyers and sellers, should read this guide to know and understand what is needed for a hassle-free sale. The best place to start is by doing your research to get ahead of any potential roadblocks that may add time to your property sale.
Gathering the documents that will be needed for your property sale early in the process can help reduce delays later. This guide sets out what you need and how long this might take to help you get organised as early as possible. Each section has a checklist to make this easier.
Often external factors can delay the process so it’s a good idea to be aware of the timeframes involved when dealing with third parties, and related costs where applicable. Look at the Documents Checklist to see where delays can happen at each stage.
It’s important to find and appoint an estate agent and solicitor as soon as you make the decision to sell.
