Buying Property in Ireland
Purchasing a property in Ireland involves contract review, title investigation, searches, and compliance with lending requirements. Monahan Solicitors act for buyers across Drogheda, Laytown, Dundalk, and the wider Co. Louth area.
We investigate title in the Land Registry or Registry of Deeds, raise requisitions on the vendor's solicitor, and report to you and your lender on any issues affecting the property. Our thorough approach protects you from buying a property with hidden legal defects.
From signing the contract for sale to closing and registration, we keep you informed and ensure your transaction completes on time.
Selling Property & Title Investigation
Selling a property requires preparing contract and title documents, responding to buyer requisitions, and coordinating closing. We act for vendors throughout Co. Louth and Co. Meath, ensuring a smooth sale process.
Title defects discovered during a sale can delay or jeopardise transactions. Our solicitors identify and resolve issues early — from missing planning permission to boundary disputes and registered charge releases.
Whether you are selling a family home, investment property, or commercial premises, Monahan Solicitors provide efficient, commercially minded conveyancing services.
Stamp Duty, Registration & Closing
Property transactions in Ireland involve stamp duty payable to Revenue, registration in the Land Registry, and coordination with lenders and estate agents. We handle all closing documentation and funds transfer through your solicitor's account.
We advise on stamp duty rates, first-time buyer relief, and vacant homes levy where applicable. Our team liaises with your bank, the other side's solicitor, and the Land Registry to ensure registration completes promptly after closing.

Frequently asked questions about conveyancing in Ireland
Do I need a solicitor to buy a house in Ireland?
While not legally required, using a solicitor is strongly recommended and practically essential. A solicitor investigates title, reviews the contract, handles stamp duty and registration, and protects your interests at closing. Most lenders require a solicitor to act on their behalf.
How long does conveyancing take in Ireland?
Residential conveyancing typically takes eight to twelve weeks from sale agreed to closing, depending on title complexity, lending approval, and chain length. Monahan Solicitors work efficiently to progress your transaction and keep all parties informed of timelines.
What searches are carried out during a property purchase?
Standard searches include Land Registry or Registry of Deeds title searches, planning searches, compulsory purchase searches, and judgment searches against the vendor. Additional searches may be required for commercial property or specific locations. We advise on all necessary searches for your purchase.
What stamp duty will I pay on a property in Ireland?
Stamp duty rates depend on the property type and value. Residential stamp duty is currently 1% on the first €1 million and 2% on the balance. First-time buyers may qualify for relief. Monahan Solicitors calculate your stamp duty liability and file the return with Revenue on your behalf.
