Hi,

What do solicitors cost for a remortgage on your existing property with a different lender?

Cheers.
 
It varies widely and you should check with your solicitor. As a ball-park figure, we have an arrangement with a solicitor in Co. Dublin who charges €1,000 all-in (i.e. inclusive of fee, VAT and all legal outlays). In my experience, that would be at the lower end of the range.

Don't be afraid to shop around but don't choose a solicitor on price alone. Ideally you should get a recommendation from someone you know personally who has used the solicitor before and was pleased with the service, efficiency etc.

Don't forget also that there are plenty of "free switch" deals out there where the lender will pick up the legal costs of switching.
 
i'm in the process of moving 2 mortgages. solicitors fees come to 2,150 inc vat.
I'm moving to AIB - they are giving me €1200 per mortgage for switching. (the remaining €250 will be spent on valuation fees.)

Ring a few solicitors and get a quote. Then check with your new lender if they will cover fees. Most lenders are offering legal fees at the moment.
 
We have just switched mortgages the fees in total were 1200 - this included land registry fees and other stuff and VAT as well.
