Expert Conveyancing Solicitors Dublin

Property law is a core part of our practice

You want a solicitor who handles conveyancing and property transactions every day, not someone who mainly does litigation, family law, or general practice. Property transactions involve title reviews, planning issues, mortgage coordination, Land Registry work, and contract negotiations.

Strong communication

This is often the difference between a smooth purchase and a frustrating one.

Ask:

• Will I have a direct contact person?
• How quickly do emails get answered?
• Will I receive regular updates without having to chase?

Many buyers and sellers complain more about lack of communication than legal mistakes. Community discussions in Ireland frequently highlight responsiveness as a key factor.

Transparent fees

Ask us for a written quote showing:

• Legal fee
• VAT
• Land Registry fees
• Searches
• Stamp duty (if buying)
• Any additional charges

A good solicitor should be able to explain the full expected cost clearly before you engage them.

Experience with your type of transaction

Paul W. Keogh is the right solicitor for:

• First-time buyers
• Apartments
• Houses
• Commercial property
• Investment properties
• Probate sales

For example, Dublin apartments can involve management company issues, service charges, and multi-unit development documentation that require specific experience. We have all that experience!

Attention to detail

A good property solicitor will actively investigate:

• Title issues
• Rights of way
• Planning permission compliance
• Boundary disputes
• Outstanding charges on the property

Our  job is to identify problems before you become legally committed.

Good working relationships

This is underrated.

Solicitors who regularly deal with Dublin estate agents, lenders, surveyors, and other conveyancing firms can often resolve issues more efficiently. Experienced legal secretaries and conveyancing professionals frequently mention that compatible solicitors can significantly reduce delays.

Availability

Ask:

“How many active conveyancing files are you currently handling?”

A highly recommended solicitor can become a bottleneck if they’re overloaded. We actively try to avoid this!

Local Dublin market knowledge

Paul W. Keogh Solicitors are familiar with Dublin 2, Dublin 4, Dublin 6 and surrounding areas. We therefore regularly encounter:

• Older Georgian titles
• Apartment developments
• Management company issues
• Mixed-use buildings
• Commercial leases

Questions you should ask before hiring us:

1. How many property transactions did you complete in the last 12 months?
2. Who will actually handle my file?
3. What is your typical response time to emails?
4. Can you provide a fixed-fee quote?
5. Have you handled transactions similar to mine?
6. What issues do you commonly see in Dublin properties?

Red flags that you should look out for:

• Vague pricing.
• Difficulty getting them on the phone before you’ve even hired them.
• No dedicated conveyancing/property team.
• Reviews repeatedly mentioning delays or poor communication.
• Promises that seem unrealistically quick.

If you’re buying in Dublin 2, we personally put communication, property-specialist experience, and fee transparency above almost everything else. A slightly higher fee can often be worthwhile if the solicitor is proactive and keeps the transaction moving.
