SELLERS QUESTIONS
Q. Is an Estate Agent necessary to sell my property?
A. No. There is a common misconception that estate agents are necessary to sell property and that they have some involvement in the legal side of the property sale. This is not so. The estate agent plays no part in the legal aspect of your house sale.
Q. I am already with an estate agent, can I also list my property on Sellityourself.ie?
A. If you are using an estate agent you may still list your property on Sellityourself.ie, as long as you have not signed Sole Selling Rights over to your Estate Agent. Many property sellers on our website are also with an estate agent. You may be surprised at how eager your estate agent becomes once they learn you are also selling direct. More details.
Q. Do I need to hire a Solicitor if selling with Sellityourself.ie?
A. Yes. We absolutely recommend hiring a solicitor. Your solicitor handles all legal aspects of the property sale, regardless of whether you sell your property on Sellityourself.ie or with an Estate Agent.

BUYERS QUESTIONS
Q. I have seen a property on your website that I am interested in. What do I do now?
A. If the property owner has supplied a telephone number, then simply call the owner, express your interest and arrange a suitable time to view the property.
Alternatively you can send the owner an email via our private mailing system. You must register with Sellityourself.ie to use this facility.
Q. Should I be wary of buying directly from a property owner?
A. Not at all. By dealing with the owner directly you will receive the answer to any question you have about the property. You can also get a better feel for the property and the neighbourhood by talking to the owner. Also if you place an offer you can get direct feedback, and no frustrating wait for the middle man to get back to you!
Once you have agreed a price with the property owner, you will appoint a surveyor and a solicitor in exactly the same manner as if you had found your property via an estate agent.
Q. Do I pay a booking deposit to the property owner?
A. No. Never hand money or cheques over to the property owner. All money should be handled by the solicitors for both parties.
Q. How do I find property on Sellityourself.ie?
A. Click on our "Property Search" link at the top of each page. You can then search for properties by area, by price or by type of property.
