Selling a property in Ireland involves several costs, and being prepared can help you maximize your profits. Here are the key expenses:
Estate Agent Fees – Typically 1% to 2.5% of the sale price plus VAT.
Solicitor Fees – Expect to pay between €1,000 and €2,500 for legal services.
BER Certificate – Required by law and costs between €150 and €300.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) – If the property is not your principal private residence, CGT is 33% on the profit from the sale.
Mortgage Redemption Fees – If there’s an outstanding mortgage, early repayment charges may apply.
Other costs to consider include potential staging expenses, removals, and outstanding Local Property Tax (LPT) payments. Understanding these costs in advance helps ensure a smooth sale process and better financial planning.
