What sale-agreed buyers should check on the planning register before contracts are signed348 applications across the Greater Dublin councils are inside their five-week observation window today. The nine planning checks to run between sale agreed and signing — the house's own history, the neighbours' live applications, appeals, commencements, RZLT, flood and conservation flags — and which of them the €85 search will not do.
Planning searches in conveyancing — what an €85 search covers, and what it cannot seeEvery Irish house purchase includes a planning search against the council's register.
