sun_sparks said:How do you mean split the difference in Stamp Duty?? Surely that would leave the seller in the same position as if they sold to you at the SD limit?
How many other bidders were there? I'd be tempted to go back to your original 317500 and stick at that.
Vanilla said:I don't understand this either. If you originally agreed €317,500 plus €2,500 for contents, you were in the 3 or 6% stamp duty range, depending on whether you are a FTB or not. If it was €317,500 including contents of €2,500 you were either exempt from SD or in the 5% range. So how could the seller be looking for more money on the basis of saving you money on stamp duty?
Well what the estate agent, his client and his solicitor are offering is illegal but common enough practise from what I understand.
I absolutely agree with this, please notify the relevant authorities of this (it's such a shame how estate agents are unregulated in this backward country..) quoting both the estate agent and the vendor.dubinamerica said:This all sounds v. illegal to me !! and anyone involved could be in serious trouble with revenue. Could you report the estate agent and/or solicitor involved on this?

comanche said:For my offer of 318500 I would be liable for 10k in stamp duty. He wants me to pay 5k for contents and save my self 5k. I was that I would pay 2.5k for contents. He is squeezing me for 2.5k for no reason.
