What does registration with the Land Registry involve when buying a property in Ireland?

A Moaju Team Answered by

In Ireland, registration with the Land Registry records the buyer as the legal owner of a property and updates its folio. Your solicitor usually submits the transfer deed and supporting documents to the Property Registration Authority (PRA) after closing. Processing times can vary, and first registration of an unregistered property may involve additional work and affect the timeline. Ask your solicitor for updates, and check current requirements and fees with the PRA or on landdirect.ie.
