Speed Up Your Property Sale: A Guide to Avoiding Common Delays

Speed Up Your Property Sale: A Guide to Avoiding Common Delays

At Reddy Charlton, we understand that selling your property can sometimes be a lengthy and complicated process. To help you navigate it as smoothly as possible, we are pleased to share a helpful guide produced by the Law Society of Ireland and the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland.

This guide, Speed Up Your Property Sale, identifies the most common causes of delays when selling a property, from locating title deeds to confirming planning compliance and ensuring all relevant taxes are paid. It also offers practical advice on how you, as a seller, can prepare in advance to avoid potential pitfalls and move your sale along more efficiently.

Topics covered include:

• Gathering your personal and property documentation early
• Building the right professional team (solicitor and estate agent)
• Understanding issues around title deeds, planning permissions, and taxes
• Special considerations for probate sales, apartments, and rented properties

We highly recommend taking the time to read through the guide as you prepare for your sale. It offers a clear overview of the steps involved, useful checklists, and helpful tips to make the process less stressful and more predictable.

By being proactive and well-prepared, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of unnecessary delays, saving time, minimising hassle, and putting yourself in a stronger position to close your sale efficiently.
