Beyond the purchase price, Dublin buyers may need to budget for a deposit, stamp duty, solicitor’s fees, a property survey, mortgage valuation and registration charges. You should also allow for mortgage-related costs, home insurance, moving expenses and, for some properties, ongoing management fees or local property tax. The total varies with the property, mortgage arrangements and your circumstances, so ask your solicitor and lender for an up-to-date cost breakdown. Check current tax information with Revenue and official guidance with Citizens Information before making financial decisions.
