Document background
The Real Estate Contract to Sell is a fundamental document in Irish property transactions, used whenever real property is being transferred from one party to another. It serves as the primary agreement governing the sale process and protecting both parties' interests under Irish law. The document is essential for establishing legally binding terms of sale, including property details, price, completion date, and various warranties and conditions. It must comply with Irish property legislation, particularly the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009, and incorporate specific Irish requirements such as BER certification and Land Registry procedures. This contract type is typically prepared by the vendor's solicitor and negotiated between both parties' legal representatives to ensure all aspects of the property transfer are properly documented and legally enforceable.
