(disclaimer: I'm an American looking to relocate to Ireland and still learning about how property records are managed there, so apologies in advance for any laughable misunderstandings of how things work!)
I am looking into the records for a property I am interested in, and the Property Price Register shows a sale for a property in 2017 but the folio shows ownership last changing in 2010. Is this normal, or something I should be concerned about?
Contemporary newspaper articles show it being listed for sale in 2004 and 2017, and the estate agent confirmed the 2017 sale. The folio shows two entries: a 2006 entry listing a development company (this is struck through and marked "Cancelled") and a 2010 entry listing a couple as owners. There is no corresponding sale in the Property Price Register and I've found no other documentation of it, but I believe the couple were the sole owners of the development company and simply transferring the title to their own name (perhaps in advance of shutting the company down in 2008), so maybe that's normal?
Thanks in advance for helping me make sense of this!
