Selling a house in Swords or North Dublin?
Make sure the legal side of your sale is ready
If you're planning to sell your home, involving your solicitor early can help avoid unnecessary delays once you find a buyer.
Shannons Solicitors provides residential conveyancing services from our office in Swords, handling the legal work involved in property sales from initial preparation through to completion.
When Should I Contact My Solicitor?
You can contact us before your property is sold — and ideally before or around the time it goes on the market.
This gives us an opportunity to begin gathering the documentation required for the sale and identify potential issues that may need to be addressed.
Being prepared can help the conveyancing process move more smoothly when a buyer is found.
What Does a Solicitor Do When Selling a House?
We take care of the legal work involved in transferring your property to the purchaser.
This can include:
Reviewing your title documentation
Preparing the contract for sale
Gathering relevant property documentation
Responding to enquiries from the purchaser's solicitor
Dealing with mortgage redemption where applicable
Preparing closing documentation
Completing the legal transfer of the property
Dealing with the proceeds of sale
We'll let you know if there is anything you need to provide and keep you updated as the transaction progresses.
Selling a Property With a Mortgage
Having an outstanding mortgage does not prevent you from selling your property.
As part of the conveyancing process, arrangements can be made to redeem the outstanding mortgage from the proceeds of the sale.
Selling and Buying at the Same Time?
Many homeowners are selling one property while purchasing another.
Coordinating both transactions requires careful planning, particularly where the funds from your sale are needed to complete your purchase.
We can look after both transactions and help you understand how the two processes fit together.
Thinking of Selling?
Speak to Shannons Solicitors as early as possible.
We'll explain what documents are required and get the legal side of your sale underway.
