In Ireland, a straightforward purchase may take around six to 12 weeks from sale agreed to closing, but there is no fixed timetable. Mortgage approval, valuation, survey, title checks, contract queries and the seller’s circumstances can all affect the date, while a chain, probate or planning issues may add substantial time. Your solicitor will coordinate the legal work and agree a closing date once contracts are ready, but avoid making firm moving arrangements until this is confirmed. Ask your solicitor and lender for an up-to-date estimate based on your transaction.
