Residential Property: Overview
We at Griffin Solicitors specialise in providing an efficient high quality legal property transaction service, technically called conveyancing.
Ring Katarina at 01 4907651 or email her at katarina@griffinsolicitors.ie for a no obligation quotation setting out all the costs involved.
Katarina will talk you through the process from beginning to end. She will email you a quotation within one working day. Included in the quotation will be our own ten point guide to “Buying or Selling a House Made Easy”.
The process normally takes six to eight weeks from when a deposit is placed on a property.
Conveyancing is the legal process by which the legal ownership of a property is transferred from one person to another (i.e. buying or selling a property), or a mortgage is taken out on a property. The transactions covered include purchases, sales, transfers of property into joint names following marriage, and transfers between spouses following separation.
