Seller FAQs
General Qs
How do I start the process of selling my house in Cavan or Ireland?
The first step to selling your house in Cavan or anywhere in Ireland is to request a professional property valuation from a local estate agent. A valuation helps determine the correct asking price based on recent local sales, market demand and the condition of your property. Once the price is agreed, your agent prepares marketing and arranges viewings.
How long does it take to sell a house in Ireland?
Most properties in Ireland sell within 6–12 weeks after going Sale Agreed, although the timeline varies depending on price, demand and the legal process. Homes priced correctly and presented well in active markets such as Cavan often receive offers faster.
Should I use an estate agent to sell my property?
Yes, using a licensed estate agent in Ireland significantly improves your chances of achieving the best sale price. Estate agents manage marketing, negotiations, buyer qualification and viewings while ensuring the property reaches the widest possible audience through property portals and local networks.
How is the asking price for my property determined?
An asking price is usually based on comparable local property sales, market conditions and the specific features of your home. A professional estate agent analyses recent transactions and current buyer demand to recommend a realistic price that attracts interest while maximising the final sale value.
Fees & Costs
What estate agent fees do sellers typically pay in Ireland?
Estate agent fees in Ireland usually range from 1% to 2% of the final sale price plus VAT. The exact commission depends on the property type, marketing package and service level agreed before the property is advertised.
Are there additional costs involved in selling a property?
Yes, sellers should also budget for solicitor fees, BER certification and potentially professional photography or marketing upgrades. Some sellers also invest in small improvements to increase the property’s appeal to buyers.
Do I need to pay marketing costs when selling my house?
Many estate agents include basic marketing within their commission, but additional marketing options such as premium property listings, video tours or targeted advertising may be optional extras.
Preparing to Sell
How should I prepare my home before putting it on the market?
Preparing your property properly helps attract more buyers and stronger offers. Homes that are clean, decluttered and well maintained tend to photograph better and create a stronger first impression during viewings.
Should I renovate my house before selling?
Minor improvements such as painting walls, fixing small repairs or improving landscaping can increase buyer interest. Large renovations are not always necessary, and your estate agent can advise which improvements will deliver the best return before selling.
What documents do I need before selling a property in Ireland?
Typical documents include title deeds, BER certificate, planning permission records, property tax information and compliance certificates. Your solicitor will help prepare the necessary paperwork before the sale progresses to contracts.
Marketing & Viewings
Where will my property be advertised when selling in Ireland?
Properties in Ireland are typically advertised on major property websites such as Daft.ie and MyHome.ie, along with the estate agent’s website and social media channels. This ensures maximum visibility among buyers actively searching for property in the area.
How are property viewings organised?
Estate agents usually arrange private appointments or scheduled open viewings for interested buyers. They manage enquiries, confirm viewing times and gather feedback from potential buyers.
Should sellers be present during property viewings?
No, sellers are usually advised not to attend viewings. Buyers often feel more comfortable discussing questions openly with the estate agent when the property owner is not present.
Legal & Completion
What happens after I accept an offer on my property?
Once an offer is accepted the property becomes Sale Agreed and both solicitors begin the legal process. The buyer pays a booking deposit and legal contracts are prepared before the final signing stage.
What does “Sale Agreed” mean in the Irish property market?
Sale Agreed means the seller has accepted an offer but the sale is not legally binding until contracts are signed. During this stage surveys, mortgage approval and legal checks are completed.
How long does the legal process take after Sale Agreed?
The legal process typically takes six to twelve weeks depending on mortgage approvals, property documentation and solicitor communication.
