Since 1st December 2012, the Irish Land registry have substantially increased the cost of registering property transactions. The average increase will be in the order of €450 per transaction.
So anyone buying property in the Irish Republic will see a significant increase on their legal bill.The increases affect all land purchases, house purchases, and sales; practically, anything to do with property.
At a time when money is tight, their increases are bewildering. Perhaps, the media need to raise alarm bells on this one !
To add to our bewilderment, we note that the English Land Registry REDUCED their fees in October ,2012.
