Lads what kind of money should a solicitor normally charge for a cash purchase of a house …
this is not for me btw :frowning:

It should be slightly cheaper than normal, but normal is hugely variable depending on where you are.

I’ve heard anything from 1500 to 2500 for Limerick lately for a standard transaction. I’m sure its more in the pale

A family member is being quoted €1750 ex vat

Brown envelopes are a thing of the past!!

But these were mere terms of gratitude or appreciation for assistance in an hour of need. The fucking country is bottlenecked with delays at every hands turn while faceless, useless gobshites shuffle paper and electronic mail around the merry go rounds of rejection.

That’s about the go of it for anyone decent
