lawyer fees

[maxum]

Hi Nigel, could you please give me an approximate price for a lawyer to sell a property.I have accepted an offer of125,000, there is no mortgage and i have fully paid up to date deeds.Been quoted 1200 euro which i feel is a little exspensive....is there a cheaper way?Thanks in advance.

If you have title deeds you can use one of the agents at the land registry to do a sale cost is probably 200 - 300 euros.

Lawyers charge around 1% of the selling price, although you could probably negotiate down to 850 + vat.

did your €1200 included vat or not??
