Hi all,
I hope someone can help as I am getting confused...
Myself and my partner are in the process of buying a house, everything was going pretty smoothly until yesterday when we were informed that the deeds are not registered in the correct system.
We initially got this quote from our solicitor:
Professional fee: 995 EUR + VAT
Land Registry Fees on Deed: 600 EUR
Land Registry Fees on Mortgage: 175 EUR
Title Searches (estimated) : 102.71 EUR
Commissioner for Oaths Fees: 20 EUR
Land Registry Fee for new folio and map: 40 EUR
Total: 2860 EUR
So now the solicitor is coming back saying that because the title is an old type Registry of Deeds and needs to be registered in the Land Registry, there will be an additional cost of:
Professional fee: 450 EUR + VAT
Registry of deed fee: 50 EUR
Land Registry fee: 500 EUR
Up to datefolio and file plan: 5 EUR
Commissioner for Oath Fees: 40 EUR
Searches (estimated): 200 EUR
Total: 1350 EUR
The solicitor is saying that it is unusual to have this type of title and that the extra cost should be passed on to the vendor. We have talked to our EA who said it's not true and that she should have quoted this in the first place. We are FTB and don't have a clue..Any insight?
Also, I don't understand the breakdown of the fees are some of them seems to be for the same thing. Please help us understand!
