I've been quoted "about €1750 + VAT" for professional fee for switching. It's the same solicitor, but different company, to the one I used for the original purchase. I was hoping for less, though would happily recommend the solicitor. What are others being quoted/charged?
I am in the process of switching. I got a good few quotes ranging from €2500 to €1400 inclusive of VAT and outlays. These figures include the cost of adding my wife to the deeds. Needless to say I am going with the €1400 quote.
paid 1100 only a couple of years ago so shop around and don't be afraid to ask your first quote can they do any better also, it's too high. good luck with the switch!
Can I ask is this just the solicitors fee or is it all the associated charges whatever they may be. I assume registering the mortgage again, land registry fees for transfer or mortgage and searches etc
Total searches etc for us were 420, no vat. Professional fees were 1000 including vat. Solicitor has quoted 820 including vat plus the search fees for our next switch.
This was my quote (albeit a few years ago) . . Mortgage:
Professional Fee €500
VAT @ 23% €115
3rd Party Outlay:-
Searches €150
Mortgage Registration Fee €175
Fee to take up Title Deeds €70
Vacate of Charge Fee €50
Vacate Registration Fee €40
Commissioner for Oaths Fee €20
