When buying a home in Cork, budget for the deposit as well as solicitor’s fees, a property survey, mortgage valuation and registration costs. You may also have stamp duty, moving expenses, home insurance and, depending on the property, repairs or management-company charges. Costs can vary by property type, lender and your circumstances, while stamp duty rules and other charges may change, so confirm the latest details with Revenue, your solicitor and your mortgage provider. Citizens Information and the Central Bank of Ireland can also help explain the wider buying process.
