Early viewing of properties is always recommended in order to secure a property.

Telephone 90 30 90 30, to see if you can afford the property.

Step 4. View the property

Contact the office to make an appointment to arrange a viewing.

Please note if you are unable to attend a viewing you must inform our office. If your appointment is out of hours please email your cancellation to info@mcgranaghanestateagents.com… stating name, telephone number and address of property.

Failure to attend an appointment will result in a £25.00 fine. Please contact our office on 90 30 90 30 for further details.

Step 5. Submit an offer

Contact the office to submit an offer but remember you might have to pay stamp duty. This is a government tax payable by the purchaser on a house sale. This is calculated on the value of the agreed purchase price.

Check with your solicitor regarding stamp duty or visit:

It usually takes from 6-8 weeks for a property to complete once it has been agreed.

Solicitors will exchange contracts for both parties to sign.
