It depends on the property, but non-professional fees will be about 500 (not subject to VAT). These are fees to bank to release deeds, land registry fees, searches etc. Then you have the professional fee. Taking 575 + VAT for professional fee gives you approx 700. Then add the 500, gives you 1,200.

Would anyone have recommendations for solicitors who have low fixed fee to re mortgage a property? Located in Dublin or surrounding counties? Last year I used a firm who had fixed cost of 575e for professional fee (ex vat) This year they are 1000e for professional fee (ex vat). Bit of a jump...

Thanks. I'll give them a shout. How long did it take from initial contact to draw down?

I'm looking at switching to Avant. Can someone recommend a broker to use in Dublin? One that does not charge me a fee. Is there anything else to consider when choosing broker, other than they don't charge me a fee? I read something about brokers fee being clawed back from customer if you...

What would a solicitor typically charge for holding will and deeds? Would it be a yearly charge? I gather then that the concern from the other thread on this topic is that solicitor will charge an exorbitant fee for holding will/deeds if they aren't getting the probate work? Surely solicitor...

I asked this question on another thread, but no reply, so just keeping things in one place. What is the significance of the solicitor who holds the deceased persons will also holding the title deeds to their property? In terms of if I decide to use a different solicitor to carry out Irish Grant...

Thanks for the replies. I am just beginning to look into this for the first time, so my terminology and understandings are not the best. In terms of the S.150 letter, is it a reasonable expectation that it should include costs of the Irish solicitor engaging services of a UK based solicitor to...

If a deceased Irish resident has assets in their will which are located in UK financial institutions does it require probate to be taken out separately in the UK first to get hold of the UK assets, and then following that for probate to be taken out in Ireland? I understand that a solicitor is...

What is the significance of the solicitor having the title deeds? If you choose to use another solicitor for probate, can't they simply get the title deeds from the other solicitor? Or is it that the solicitor who holds the deeds could charge a massive fee to release them?

Or the nursing home resident could loan the nursing home fee to their relative, drawing up documentation to state the debt ceases on their death i.e. no payable to the estate. Then the relative pays no CAT on receiving the nursing home fee. This would leave the relative with a 40% gain when...

If an Irish citizen who is resident in UK and paying tax on their pension in UK returns to Ireland they must pay their tax in Ireland as soon as they are resident in Ireland as I understand. If they fail to change their tax payment from UK to Ireland for say 5 years then Irish Revenue will...

When you say laundering, is the implication that it is illegal? If someone in a nursing home gives the nursing home fee to a relative to pay, and relative pays CAT at 33% once exceeding the gift threshold then it is all legal right? This relative can then claim 40% of the nusing home fees back...

Indeed. Thanks for your input. Are there any other posters out there in this situation who had a structural warranty from CRL underwritten by Alpha, would be good to hear from you and what you are planning to do?

Other banks also insist on a 10 year structural warranty. I know this from personal experience - and my scenario is a new build house in a small development, built by a developer. You will see that link I posted is not just referring to the UK market. This company have taken on Irish customers...

On a new build house? 100% you will, no question about that. No bank nowadays will give you a mortgage on a new build house without a 10 year structural warranty. Similarly if you try to change your mortgage provider before the 10 years have passed the bank will require a structural warranty in...

This is what I have read. That a bank will require a structural warranty in place before giving you a mortgage. Your structural warranty is now null and void. If you went to sell your house the buyers solicitor would 100% look for this warranty. Your structural warranty will most likely live...

You will not be able to sell your house or switch mortgage provider as things stand because your 10 year structural warranty is null and void. I assume your structural warranty was through a UK company called CRL. CRL are just a broker and the actual policy was underwritten by Alpha insurance...

You've done three switches so far right, so your solicitor is only charging 500e for each switch? Can you PM me their details please :)

Personally I was planning to give them the funds/shares when 18/21. S&P500? If someone wanted to do that they wouldn't be on here asking how to gift it to the child. So not sure how this entire post helps in any way? Sounds quite negative to be honest.
