"My solicitor engaged an engineer (of their choice without giving me an option)"
Nothing to do with me, Guv.
This is not what happens.
This was OP's problem for OP to resolve because they wanted to sell a property that was seriously dubious in terms of planning compliance. It took two years to resolve.
Who can tell whether it is excessive without knowing what was actually involved?

Do you mean that usually solicitors don't go off and give the job to their engineer buddy? Because that's what they did and I said that was bad practice at the time...
Look I'm not playing the damsel in distress card but I'm a female and I don't know if I'm being really overcharged here...
Fees applicable for the various mapping, checking boundaries and all the work that was done pre planning, fees for this which were not included originally - €500.00 plus vat €615.00

I had to get an engineer out to certify a house I am selling last month. It turned out I needed retention planning for a shed. The total cost for certification , site survey,. Boundary checks,. County. Council retention planning fee, relevant notices, and other minor items came to €1400. I dont have septic tank. So in comparison your bill is really expensive.I don't know tbh, if that's the case does it seem right?
I do think the septic tank was included on the original planning in 1970 but the new regulations had an impact on this... it was all to get certification to sell
thanks for the replies
Maybe remember that OP is trying to sell her house and that ain't gonna happen any time soon if she manages to tick everyone on her own side off.

PS I got all this sorted before I ever put the house on the market and even before I saw my solicitor.
3300sq ft house built 20m away from where planning permitted. On 12 acres with 1500ft stables. Septic tank fitted with no dischage licence etc etc. Retention was needed in relation to house, entrance and the more serious issues around septic tank/discharge. all in order to sell. Done dusted all fees included 2700euro.
