Selling House - Need Solicitor

[shipibo]

I have a buyer for property, and am looking to get a solicitor.

The property is in Galway, I am based in Dublin.

1. Has anyone got recomendations?? , costs are a priority presently. Property will sell for well below 100K. Maybe working on percentage of sale ?

2. Would it be better to get solicitor in Galway (easy access for buyers solicitors), or Dublin (Easy access for me).

3. I have deeds, is there information that would be helpful for me to know regarding selling house. What are the average set fees, additional costs ...

you are probably better to get a solicitor near yourself, as you will have to go to their office to sign contracts, etc.
if you are looking for a solicitor in Galway, I know my brother uses a guy called James Glynn in Tuam and is very happy with him.
I used Stacks solicitors in Maynooth for a few transactions in Dublin a few years ago - very happy with them too.

I dont have any connection with the above, other than being a customer.

Edit: I cant remember the fees, but I think it was somewhere around 800/1000 euros that I paid for each transaction (buying one property, selling another).

As the other poster says, you have to sign documents, so a Dublin solicitor would be more convenient perhaps.
