Thank you for that.

Hi Guys, I have a large side garden site on which I would like to build a new house to move into. Once built I would sell the current house (PPR) and move into new one next door. What are there cgt implications, if any? Thanks for any advice.

Hi guys, Any info/advice appreciated. I have a large corner site house with room to build another house. There is a surface water sewer running parallel to the boundary wall. Can anyone tell me how far the build has to be from this type of sewer. I am getting various distances from my lay...

No Bronte, I didn't get a final bill total as he stated that the process could encounter hiccups etc...but from reading the other posts in relation to title registrations the going rate was about €1500 so I thought we were well covered with 2k.

Thanks for the sage replies guys. The solicitor has advised that the new solicitor will contact me next week with regards to completing matters. Sounds promising...hopefully. Will keep you posted. p.s. I specifically asked him about the monies paid up front which he deftly side...

Hi guys, we engaged a solicitor some time ago to undertake a title registration. We paid him for this up front (2K). He has now closed his practice and is in the process of transferring his files to another solicitors office (unnamed as yet). It has been over a year and we had heard nothing...

Yes Vanilla. nail on the head, it is a bit complicated. Derek, I am told that the previous owner's claim of adverse possesion can be transferred to me.

The solicitor told me to expect to pay between €3500 to €4500. Land is approx 1/5 acre adjoining a house we are purchasing. Not going to be used for development just addition to garden. Barrister advice, ad in Law Gazzette, trip to court all mentioned as possibilities hence the high fees. Also...

Thanks Vanilla

Hi Guys, How much can one expect to pay to have land held in adverse possesion registered into your name. The land in question has been held for over 12 years. Any advice on the procedure and costs would be hugely appreciate. Cheers.

Try a sprinkling of pepper...works a treat.;)

Hi Guys, got survey done on a house. Findings of foundation settlement resulting in some cracks in the sand/cement finish on the gable wall.The cracks have been repaired early this year. Being a timber framed house built six years ago, what are the risks (Low, Moderate, High) of subsidance...

Ok...guilty as charged, Judge Judy was a dodgy example. She wouldn't last long in our Irish legal system ;-). My question still remains...Why don't EAs draw up contracts with vendors to potect their interests when a property sells?

Bound by what?? your word??....this is far from being "contractually bound" i'm afraid. I am no contract lawyer but I've seen enough Judge Judy to know that verbal agreements/contracts are not worth the paper they are written on. EAs should draw up contracts with vendors clearly stating that a...

Only if he signed a contract drawn up by the EA specifying that he pays the fee once the house is sold. No signed written contract No contractual obligation. Another point...what if the vendor goes with 2 or 3 EAs to sell the property?? Is he "contractually bound" to pay all three regardless...

this happened to me too. The buyer rocked up to the door and made an offer. I accepted, his solicitor and mine got together and the deal was done. Left the property on the market until the keys were handed over then informed the EA that the property was no longer for sale and to remove it from...

as a tenant at the moment. Cheers
