Document background
The House Contract is a fundamental legal document used in Irish property transactions to formalize the sale and purchase of residential property. It serves as the primary agreement between the seller and buyer, incorporating all essential terms and conditions required under Irish law. This document is typically prepared after initial negotiations and the acceptance of an offer, but before the final transfer of ownership. The contract must comply with the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 and other relevant Irish legislation, including requirements for writing, signatures, and specific content. It includes crucial details about the property, price, conditions of sale, warranties, and completion arrangements, while also addressing specific Irish legal requirements such as BER certificates and planning compliance.
