Land Registry Fees Calculator
Buying or selling a property in Ireland? The Property Registration Authority (PRA) charges a registration fee based on property value. Enter the value to see the applicable fee for the main residential transfer.
How is this calculated?
Fees are banded: ≤€50k = €400, ≤€100k = €600, ≤€200k = €700, ≤€300k = €800, ≤€400k = €900, ≤€500k = €1,000. For values above €500,000, the fee is €1,000 plus €1 per €1,000 (or part thereof) of the value above €500k. So a €1m property pays €1,000 + €500 = €1,500.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Land Registry / PRA?
The Property Registration Authority maintains the official register of property ownership in Ireland. When you buy a home, your solicitor registers the transfer of ownership and the PRA records it — giving you formal title to the property.
Is this fee separate from stamp duty?
Yes. Stamp duty is a tax paid to Revenue (1% on first €1m of residential value, 2% above; first-time buyer reliefs apply). The PRA fee is a separate registration fee. Both are typically paid by the buyer at closing through the solicitor.
Are there other fees in property registration?
Yes — your solicitor also pays: a solicitor's fee (typically €1,500–€3,500 + VAT), a land registry mapping fee in some cases, and miscellaneous search fees. Budget €5,000–€7,000 in fees on top of stamp duty for a typical Irish residential transaction.
When is the fee due?
Your solicitor pays the PRA fee out of the closing funds at the time of transfer registration. You'll see it itemised on the closing statement. The PRA usually completes registration within a few weeks of receiving the application.
Can the fee be waived?
Reduced fees apply for some specific transactions (e.g. transfers between spouses on death, transfers as part of a court order). Standard arm's-length residential purchases pay the standard fee. Speak to your solicitor for the specifics of your transaction.
