Document background
The Agreement To Sell Land is a fundamental legal document used in Irish property transactions to formalize the sale and purchase of real estate. It is required whenever there is a transfer of land ownership in Ireland, whether for residential, commercial, or agricultural purposes. The agreement must comply with the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 and other relevant Irish legislation, including the requirement for writing under the Statute of Frauds (Ireland) 1695. This document typically follows preliminary negotiations and the exchange of contracts, setting out all material terms including property description, price, conditions, warranties, and completion arrangements. It serves as the primary reference point for solicitors handling the conveyancing process and forms the basis for the subsequent transfer of title.
