Check out the many existing threads on solicitors' conveyancing fees for more on this but bear in mind that you want low charges and quality of service and at some stage there could be a trade-off. Also - the completion time is unlikely to be totally under the control of your solicitor and depends on many factors involved in the transaction.However, the best offer I am getting is €1,500-ish and a 3-month completion date.
Are you aware of the taxation implications of being a serial house buyer/seller?As this is now my business and not a once off purchase (I have left fulltime employment to develop and refurbish property), I am looking for the quickest possible turnaround so I can start work.
is only possible where the title and planning issues are all clear, where finance is readily available, where the property is unoccupied etc etc.
Sale agreed 19th February 2007
Sale closed and in funds on 11th April 2007
8 weeks. Two competent solicitors and prepared vendor.
Sale of our last house went even faster: Sale agreed 9 Nov 2006, sold and in funds 19 December. I'd notified our solicitor a little before we put the house on the market but he said himself that he didn't do much with it until we went sale agreed. At that point we had to conduct a forensic exercise to find the deeds which were in limbo between previous solicitor and the mortgage provider - subject of some panic at the time, but it shows you can have things go a little wrong and still do the lot quite fast, if you have the right solicitor.All the above applied in my case of the 8 week closing.
Just as a matter of interest, I presume you had appointed your solicitor more than a few weeks previous to the 'sale agreed' date?
What might be handy for new vendors is to have a look at a questionnaire for the requisition on title document to see what sort of questions they ask, all 40 questions which would put you on notice when selling what is required. Anyone want to see one can PM me with an email address and I will mail a copy.
Presuming you obtained this from your solicitor she may not be too happy with your offer...
I think you'll find it IS copyrighted. You have no right to reproduce this document or send it around freely. I know the document in question. Each one must be purchased from the Law Society unless the solicitor has written up her own individual one- and in that case copyright will belong to her/her firm.
