Choose a solicitor who regularly handles residential conveyancing in Cork and can explain the process, likely timescales and what is included in their quote. Check whether they can act for your mortgage lender, ask about additional charges, and find out who will handle your file and how updates will be provided. It is sensible to compare more than one firm and check that the solicitor is properly registered with the Law Society of Ireland. Fees and requirements vary, so confirm the details directly with the firm and your lender before instructing anyone.
