> What conveyancing costs in Ireland: the solicitor's fee is not fixed, but stamp duty at 1% and Land Registry fees of €800 and €175 are. Get quotes from solicitors.

## Key facts

- Stamp duty on Irish residential property is 1% on consideration up to €1 million, 2% on the slice between €1 million and €1.5 million, and 6% above €1.5 million, for instruments executed on or after 2 October 2024.
- Tailte Eireann charges €800 to register a transfer on sale where the consideration exceeds €400,000, and €175 to register a charge, so a €450,000 purchase with a mortgage carries €975 of Land Registry fees.
- There is no fixed rate for Irish conveyancing legal fees: Citizens Information states that some solicitors charge a flat fee, some charge a percentage of the purchase price, and buyers can shop around.
