Our Experienced Property Team can help you Buy Your Home in Ireland

Purchasing a property is one of life’s biggest milestones, and having the right guidance makes all the difference. At Gibson and Associates, we understand that every buyer’s journey is unique, which is why we provide clear advice and practical support at every step.

With a focus on professionalism, trust, and efficiency, our goal is to make your property transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible. From organising legal documents and liaising with third parties on your behalf to arranging the exchange of contracts and completion– our experienced property solicitors will take care of everything, keeping you up to date as we go.

If you are at the very early stages of the house buying process, we can provide a conveyancing fee estimate for you.

But it is preferable that you already have your ideal home decided, so we can give you the most accurate fee estimate possible. Check out this useful guide outlining the stages in home buying.

Buying a property: How We Work

1. We receive Sales Advice Note from the estate agent

This document details the transaction and includes information about the buyer, seller, property, price and solicitors involved.

2. We receive the contract & copy title deeds from the seller’s solicitor

We review the property contract and copy title deeds before scanning it in and emailing it to you.

3. We arrange a meeting or telephone consultation with you

During the meeting, we will go through the contract with you to make sure it reflects what you agreed to. It also allows us to get a better understanding of the property you are buying and advise on any flaws on title.

4. Raise pre-contract enquiries

Once we have discussed the contract with you, we liaise with the seller’s solicitor to agree upon the sale’s closing date, as well as requesting any outstanding documents, and issues/flaws on title.

5. Face-to-face meeting to sign contracts and loan documents

When we are satisfied you are obtaining good marketable title, we will meet with you again to sign the contract and if relevant, the loan documents. These are then sent to the seller’s solicitor to allow a binding agreement to be entered into.

6. Draw down your loan funds and close

Once we receive one part binding contract from the sellor’s solicitor we request your loan funds, send them to the seller’s solicitor, and review the closing documents that transfer ownership of the property to you. We also request searches to ensure that the seller has the right to sell the property and that there have been no debts registered against the property or the sellor. Once this has been done, you can get the keys to your new home!

Great service from start to finish. They really care about their clients. Thanks Sarah and Roisin for helping us through the process of selling our house and buying our dream home.

David Giles

Warren Sexton, is a stellar solicitor. I go to Gibson and associates for all my legal representation and I have found all of their solicitors are very easy to work with. Warren represented me very well through the purchase of a house in Ireland.
I currently live in the USA and so the logistics were a bit complicated but Warren made the purchase easy.
