FAQ
Supporting You Before Your Property Reaches the Market
We believe good advice should be freely available. Browse our FAQs below for clear answers to common property questions, whether you’re ready to sell today or just beginning to explore your options.
The value of your property depends on several factors, including location, condition, size, and current market demand. We provide a free, no-obligation valuation to help you understand what your home could achieve on today’s market.
Every property is different, but well-presented homes in desirable Dublin locations can often attract strong interest within days of being listed. The full process from sale agreed to completion typically takes several weeks.
Our fixed 1% commission covers the full estate agency service, including valuation, marketing, viewings, negotiations, and support throughout the sales process.
Yes. A valid Building Energy Rating (BER) certificate is required before a property can be advertised for sale in Ireland.
Minor improvements such as painting, decluttering, and basic repairs can help present your property in the best possible light and maximise buyer interest.
We assess recent comparable sales, local market conditions, property features, and buyer demand to recommend an asking price that balances interest and value.
Yes. Many homeowners sell properties with outstanding mortgages. Your solicitor and lender will help ensure the mortgage is cleared as part of the sale process.
We visit the property, assess its condition and features, review local market activity, and provide an informed estimate of its likely market value.
It is advisable to appoint a solicitor early in the process so that legal documentation can be prepared promptly once a buyer is found.
We coordinate all viewings and communicate directly with prospective buyers, ensuring the process is as convenient and stress-free as possible.
A property is considered sale agreed when an offer has been accepted by the seller. The sale is not legally binding until contracts have been signed by both parties.
This varies depending on the circumstances of both parties, but a typical timeframe is between six and twelve weeks.
Yes. The asking price is a guide. You are free to accept, reject or negotiate any offer received.
Typical costs may include estate agency fees, solicitor fees, BER certification, and any costs associated with preparing the property for sale.
Where multiple offers are received, we will guide you through the process and help you evaluate each buyer’s position, financial status and proposed timeline.
In most cases, it is beneficial for the estate agent to conduct viewings independently, allowing buyers to ask questions freely and explore the property comfortably.
Presentation is key. A clean, tidy, well-maintained property with good natural light and minimal clutter is more likely to attract strong interest.
Yes. We assist clients with the sale of apartments, investment properties, development sites and family homes throughout Dublin.
An independent estate agent can often provide a more personal service, direct communication and a single point of contact throughout the entire process.
