03Common questions
Before you start.
No. This is general information about how property sale works in Ireland. Use it as a starting point and confirm important decisions with the relevant qualified professional (solicitor, estate agent, tax adviser, mortgage lender).
No. The readiness check produces a personalised checklist based on the answers you give. Property valuation is the estate agent’s job; the Property Price Register is the public source for comparable recent sales.
No. Bopperty is an independent service. The guide names statutory bodies and professional categories where naming them is the only useful way to refer to them. Bopperty is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them.
The guide describes the shape of the Irish sale process and points to the primary published sources where current parameters live. Tax rates, scheme parameters, and tenant-in-situ rules can change with policy updates. Treat numbers as a starting reference rather than the binding answer.
Your answers are processed in your browser and are not stored, unless you choose to save your result to My Bopperty. Saving keeps the result page link, whose address reflects your answer choices, and the name you give it.
Yes. Each entry in the guide section above links directly to the relevant section of the guide.

The selling guide describes the shape of the Irish sale process and points to the primary published sources for the specific figures that change with policy updates. Read the full guide.
