Document background
The Deed of Sale of Land is a fundamental legal instrument in Irish property law, used whenever real property is being transferred from one owner to another. This document is essential for both residential and commercial property transactions in Ireland, providing the legal mechanism for transferring title and ownership rights. It must comply with strict requirements under Irish law, particularly the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009, and needs to be properly executed as a deed to be valid. The document includes crucial information such as precise property descriptions, purchase price, payment terms, title warranties, and various covenants. It's typically prepared following the agreement of sale terms and completion of title investigations, forming part of the larger conveyancing process. The deed must be registered with the Property Registration Authority of Ireland to complete the transfer of ownership.
