Buying Property in Dublin

Buying a property can be a difficult task – but it doesn’t have to be. Before you embark on your property search, make sure you are prepared for the different phases you will go through.

Things you should consider when buying a property in Dublin are:

• Choose Your Property

Choosing your property can be complicated. Though you may have some essential requirements for your property, there may be far more important things to consider first. First of all, you should always take your budget into account. You need to evaluate whether it will be worth taking out and unrealistic loan to buy a great property outside your price range. Do the benefits of this property really outweigh the financial burdens associated with repaying a huge loan?

The next consideration should be the location of your property. it is important to do some research into potential locations in order to gain insight into how much you can expect to pay for a property there. It will also be important to keep up to date with changes in property prices in the area in case you decide to sell in the future. When thinking about what kind of area you want to buy in you should look into factors such as schools, crime rates, amenities, and transport links.

• Methods of Payment

If you are not a cash buyer, thinking about your method of payment is essential – particularly if it involves borrowing money.

Each bank and lending institution will offer different rates, deals, and repayment schemes. It is important that you do your research into what is available and choose the best package for you. Interest rates, the general terms of the contract, and the contract length are all key aspects which should be discussed in detail before proceeding with the process of buying a property.

• Method of Sale

The method of sale – private or auction – can be a useful indicator in terms of how long the process will take, the scope for bidding, and how complicated the process may be. Though the private method of sale may be generally considered as the easiest, there are still some notable advantages to the auction method. First-time buyers intending to buy in Dublin may find the auction method more beneficial as it can potentially lead to a buyer with a small budget getting the property.

Regardless of the method of sale, it is important to use the help of a professional property consultant to receive property market updates, and to have the property surveyed before the sale. It is also important to use the help of a solicitor in order to ensure your legal standing.

• Set the Property Title

The property title is an essential document that verifies that the property is yours and that no one else can claim otherwise. The setting of this title in the owner’s name is something which should be done with the assistance of a solicitor.

There are two different titles for property in Ireland: the registration of title (land registry), which provides a state guaranteed title to property; and the registration of deeds  (registry of deeds), which records the existence of deeds and conveyances affecting the property.

In the land registry, all the relevant details related to the property and its ownership are entered as folios. These folios are guaranteed by the state as a confirmed record of the title to the allocated property. A registry of deeds is usually used when the title has increased over a number of years and includes deeds of conveyance used to transfer freehold unregistered land, or deeds of assignment, used to transfer leasehold unregistered land.

Property titles can be difficult to understand for a first-time buyer and this is why hiring a property management company can be a good idea. These professionals will deliver the information in an easier manner, and will be responsible for all the steps that should be taken regarding the purchase process.

• Costs of Purchase

Apart from the initial cost of the property you intend to buy, there are other finances in relation to property buying to consider. These other finances include the stamp duty, the search fees, the solicitors fees, the surveyors fees, the registration fees, and the insurance. It is important to take the cost of all these things into consideration when you are deciding on a budget for your property at the beginning of your search.

Who is the Vendor in a House Sale?

Though commonly referred to as “seller” and “buyer”, the phrases “vendor” and “purchaser” can also be used. The contract for the sale is executed when the vendor and the purchaser reach an agreement in which the vendor promises to convey ownership of the property to the purchaser, and the purchaser promises to pay the amount of money agreed upon. The consummation of this contract is known as the closing or the date of closing.

Keeping updated on the property market is an important aspect of the buying process – this an be easily done by employing a property consultant to assist you in what can often be a confusing process.
