How the Purchase Process Works
There are no restrictions for foreigners purchasing real property in Ireland, and the investment climate is favourable for foreign businesses. Once you find a suitable property, make an offer and engage the services of a solicitor. The offer does not legally bind you to buy. When your offer has been accepted, you may arrange for a survey for early detection of potential problems.
Your solicitor then drafts the Deed of Conveyance — the document that transfers the property into your name — which is sent to the seller’s solicitor for approval. The vendor’s solicitor then draws up the contract for sale. Once your solicitor has reviewed the contract and is satisfied with it and with the title, you are in a position to sign contracts, at which point you hand over a non-refundable 10% deposit.
Estate agents are involved in the transaction until the seller signs a contract with a chosen buyer. The conveyancing of the property usually takes 6 to 8 weeks. Stamp duty should be paid at this stage, and the sale is then registered at the Land Registry Office or the Registry of Deeds — depending on the title, this can take up to another six months.
Summary of Our Service
Once we have established exactly what your needs are, Hogan Estates will shortlist a number of properties for you and send you the property details along with our opinion on each. If you are interested in one or more of those properties, we will attend a viewing on your behalf and report back by phone or email. If you are happy to proceed, we negotiate the purchase of the property on your behalf.
When the purchase is agreed, Hogan Estates arranges a surveyor’s report and, where appropriate, a bank valuer’s report, and our dedicated team ensures the conveyancing process is expedited, keeping you informed every step of the way.
After your purchase is finalised, Hogan Estates can also provide an excellent letting and management service at very competitive rates, as well as a refurbishment and interior design service — subject to an agreed budget — to prepare your new property for habitation or for renting.
