Sooner or later you will need a solicitor. If you haven’t got a family favourite in mind you will find that your local Property Partner will be able to recommend a friendly face who will act in your exclusive interest. You are entitled to ask for a written quote for the legal fees, once you have agreed the job to be done. More information about qualified solicitors can be gleaned from the Law Society’s website at http://www.lawsociety.ie

You may need to secure Life Insurance in the form of Mortgage Protection, and buildings insurance is essential once you have signed contracts. Once again your local Property partner will guide you if asked, on the best deals around.
