Hi blazesoftware,
If you looking to buy a commercial property as distinct from a private property you actually may be better off buying this throught a company. The reason for this is commercial entities ltd co. are controlled via shares and to sell a commercial property held in a ltd co you simply need to sell the share which attracts less stamp duty.
With regard to purchasing property in a Ltd. co there are pros and cons with this (most of the time people shy away from the idea without fully understanding the tax implications).
Pros - selling the property simply involves selling the share. More attractive to potential purchasers
Cons - Audited accounts. Undistributed income charges, etc. Liquidation charges (if you're going that way).
Both options involve 20% CGT.
Personally I have bought a commercial property in an investment company that I receive rent into. Because of surcharges, etc I subsidise my income out of this company to minimise surcharges, etc. When I decided to sell I'll simply sell the share and pay CGT on the share.
I am sure there's more elements to it, just cannot think of it right now.
BTW €1,500 + VAT sound ok to me.
FYI - I've been though this before you can find some more detail here:
