Document background
The Deed of Sale is a crucial legal instrument in Irish property transactions, used to formally transfer ownership of real property from one party to another. It is required whenever there is a sale of land, buildings, or other real estate in Ireland. The document must comply with strict legal requirements under Irish law, including proper execution as a deed and registration with the Property Registration Authority where applicable. A Deed of Sale typically includes comprehensive details about the property, parties involved, consideration paid, warranties about title and condition, and various covenants. It forms part of the permanent chain of title and may be referred to in future property transactions. The document is particularly important as it provides evidence of ownership and protects both parties' interests in the transaction.
