Buying a house in Swords or North Dublin?
Legal guidance from offer to getting the keys
Buying a home is exciting, but there is a lot happening between having your offer accepted and receiving the keys.
Shannons Solicitors helps make the legal side of buying a house easier to understand. From reviewing contracts and investigating title to dealing with your mortgage lender and completing the purchase, we'll guide you through every stage.
When Should I Contact a Solicitor?
You don't have to wait until your offer has been accepted.
Choosing your solicitor early means you are ready to move once you find the right property.
Once the selling agent has the details of both solicitors, the legal process can begin.
What Does Your Solicitor Check When Buying a House?
As part of the conveyancing process, we examine the legal documentation relating to the property and raise any necessary queries before you commit to the purchase.
Depending on the property, this can include matters relating to:
Legal title
Contracts
Planning documentation
Property boundaries
Rights of way
Services
Management companies
Mortgage requirements
Searches and closing documentation
Our role is to identify legal issues and explain anything you need to know before proceeding.
Buying With a Mortgage
If you are using a mortgage to purchase your home, your solicitor also deals with the legal requirements associated with the mortgage.
We liaise with your lender, deal with the relevant mortgage documentation and ensure the necessary legal steps are completed before funds can be released.
What Happens on Closing Day?
Once all legal requirements have been satisfied, contracts have been completed and the necessary funds are available, the transaction can proceed to closing.
The balance of the purchase price is transferred and, once the purchase completes, arrangements can be made for you to receive the keys to your new property.
Buying a House Doesn't Have to Feel Complicated
There will inevitably be paperwork and legal requirements, but we'll explain them clearly.
You'll know what we need from you, what we're taking care of and what happens next.
