Legal Aspects to Consider when Buying a Property

Legal advice on buying a residential property:

  • The Property Buying Process
  • Property Searches
  • Legal Considerations
  • Tax Issues

The Property Buying Process

The day on which you pay the money and move into the property is called the “completion date”. To enable you to make the financial arrangements and arrange for moving at some time before completion, a deal is struck whereby the price and date and the machinery of completion are agreed.

This is done formally by document and is called “exchange of contracts”. Until that date either party is free to withdraw from the transaction with impunity.

And please note:

  • The seller is obliged only to take reasonable care of the property.
  • You have to pay part of the purchase price to the sellers’ solicitors. This “deposit” will probably be forfeited if you fail for whatever reason to complete. It is therefore vital that before we exchange you are confident that you will complete.

Property Searches

In order to protect you and your lender, we are required to carry out searches on the property you are proposing to buy.

Legal Considerations when Buying a Property

The time of buying a house is probably the time to re-consider your Will and Inheritance Tax issues generally. We have a dedicated team who can advise you on these matters and this could save you problems later on.

Tax Issues when Buying Residential Property

If, should you eventually sell the property, it has risen in value, you may have to pay Capital Gains Tax on the difference between what you receive for the property and what the property cost to acquire, improve and sell, after allowing for inflation. If the house is your main residence then no Capital Gains tax is chargeable at all, but you should bear in mind that you are only entitled to have one main residence.

What our clients have to say…

“The staff at Mullins and Treacy are very professional, efficient and responsive. We found them excellent to deal with and they looked after us extremely well in relation to the sale of our old home and purchase of our new house. We were delighted with how smoothly the whole process went and would certainly recommend the firm to friends and wouldn’t hesitate to return to the firm for any future business.”

“Recently had Cian at Mullins & Treacy LLP Solicitors look after the purchase of a property for me. First class service from start to finish, very responsive and always on hand with great advice.”

Ciaran

“Absolutely excellent service from Mullins and Treacy Solicitors, especially Cian O’Rorke who I was personally dealing with through a rather complex and stressful first purchase of a property due to the Covid-19 uncertainties. Cian was very professional and accessible from start to finish always on hand with any queries I had or updates regarding the purchase.”
