A deed of transfer is a legal document used to transfer ownership of a property from the seller to the buyer. It is usually prepared and handled by the buyer’s solicitor as part of the conveyancing process, and it is signed and witnessed in the required way. After completion, the change of ownership is registered with Tailte Éireann, through the Land Registry or, where relevant, the Registry of Deeds. The exact requirements can depend on the property’s title, so your solicitor can explain the document and any related registration or tax steps.
