How it works in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland has its own property law and its own solicitors' profession, regulated by the Law Society of Northern Ireland. Buyers pay Stamp Duty Land Tax at the same rates as England. Most titles are registered at Land Registry NI, but some older titles are still recorded in the Registry of Deeds, which can add work. Searches include property certificates from the local council and a search in the Enforcement of Judgments Office.

Frequently asked questions

How much do conveyancing solicitors in Derry~Londonderry charge?

Fees are set by each firm and vary with the work involved. Compare fixed fees side by side on Compare Legal, check what each quote includes, and make sure VAT and disbursements are in the total before you choose.

Does my solicitor need to be based in Derry~Londonderry?

Not in Derry~Londonderry itself, but they must be qualified in Northern Ireland. Property law in Northern Ireland is separate, so a firm from elsewhere in the UK usually can't act on a Northern Ireland property.

How long does conveyancing take?

A typical purchase takes 8 to 12 weeks from offer to completion. Chains, leasehold paperwork, mortgage offers and survey issues can make it longer.

What should a quote include?

The firm's own fee, VAT, and disbursements: the costs the firm pays for you, such as searches, registration fees or court fees. Ask whether the fee is fixed and what would make it go up.
