Best bet is to try get your lender to subsidise the cost. Other than that you'll find most solicitors are in or around the same price.
Prima finance have a good deal to subsidise the fees, but when I told this to my existing lender (ICS) they agreed to match the offer.
 
Sarah W, I did not see this rate on your website link. How does this work? Are you now pocketing the 1% commission for assisting in filling out mortgage application form (the website says that you give it back). Can you clarify?

Hi
I found Aine Sheahan (Hamilton and Sheahan) in Kinnegad to be very good, and not that expensive, I have used her now a few times and she was brill... 04475040
 
What seems to be the normal fee for buying? I have just realised I may be getting screwed! I am paying .8% which is working out €4500 incl VAT. Seems a lot of money!
 
Maybe it depends on the value of the house but I have found most solicitors charging a flat fee around the 1250 mark.
Charging a percentage is becoming increasingly uncommon.
 
This is a quote that I have just received from my Solicitor to purchase a second hand house valued at €450K. Does it seem excessive?
Professional Fees

  • Professional Fee 2000.00
  • Postages, telephone, faxes, photocopying 70.00
  • V.A.T. @ 21% 434.70
Purchase of Property in Lucan
Land Registry Fees
  • Purchase Deed 625.00
  • Deed of Mortgage 125.00
  • Certified copy Folio and File Plan 25.00
  • Certificate of Charge. 6.00
Miscellaneous
  • Fees to Law Searchers 100.00
  • Fees to Commissioner for Oaths 20.00
  • Fees to Law Clerk 50.00
 
The outlay will be the same no matter which solicitor you go to so you shouldn't include that when considering a quote.
I only paid 1300 for a more expensive second hand house plus an equity release from my existing property. I also got 700 refunded from my lender plus they paid for the valuation. This wasn't handed to me on a plate, I had to bargain hard!
You can definitely get a better deal, you just may have to change to a solicitor used by a lender who will give a bulk business discount.
 
Its €1000 less than me and my apartment is €390,000.... So I'd say thats good!??
I really am being robbed! The rate I got was discounted as we were using the solicitor to sell also (that cost us €3800) ! I can only imagine the "standard" rates! :mad:
 
Its only now I'm realising it! But is it too late to query it now - we are due to close soon?
 
At least you haven't paid them yet. Try talking to them and explain that their fee isn't competitve and see will they reduce the charge (by 50%!).
If they have any hope of repeat business from you, they should be reasonable.
 
What type of mortgage are you taking out Purchase, Tenant Purchase, Self Build, Re Mortgage etc ...............
 
We have used Dermot Deane twice. He's very busy but reasonable and thorough. Total fees to sell and buy - €3031
