For many buyers in Dublin, Cork, and other urban areas, purchasing a new-build apartment off-plan is the most realistic route onto the property ladder.

However, recent changes to Irish planning law mean that the apartment you eventually receive may not be exactly the same as the one you first viewed in the brochure.

The Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2025 introduced a new fast-track process that allows developers to make certain modifications to the internal layout of approved residential developments without applying for fresh planning permission.

What does this mean for buyers?

✔️ Apartment layouts may change during construction
✔️ Developers may have greater flexibility to amend certain aspects of a scheme
✔️ It's more important than ever to understand exactly what your contract provides for
✔️ Early legal advice can help you understand your rights and protections before you commit

Buying off-plan is a significant investment, and understanding the legal implications before signing contracts can help you avoid surprises later.

At McCarthy + Co Solicitors LLP, our conveyancing team is advising buyers on these changes and helping them make informed decisions when purchasing new-build properties.

Before putting your property on the market, there’s one issue that can cause unexpected delays, additional costs, or even put a sale at risk: unauthorised building works.

An attic conversion, sunroom extension, garage conversion, or other alterations may have been carried out years ago — sometimes by a previous owner and often in good faith. However, if the correct planning permissions or certificates are missing, buyers' solicitors and mortgage lenders are likely to raise concerns.

Common issues include:
✔️ Attic conversions without the required documentation
✔️ Extensions or sunrooms that were never properly certified
✔️ Garage conversions or home offices that may not comply with planning requirements
✔️ Missing planning or building regulation records

The good news is that most issues can be addressed with the right professional advice and early action.

If you're thinking about selling your property, identifying potential compliance issues before your home goes on the market can help avoid delays and keep your sale moving smoothly.

When a loved one passes away, families are often faced with unfamiliar legal terms and processes at an already difficult time.

One of the most important documents in the probate process is a Grant of Representation. This is the official court document that gives a person the legal authority to deal with the estate of someone who has died.

Without it, banks, pension providers, and property authorities will generally be unable to release funds or transfer assets.

At McCarthy + Co, we understand that probate can feel overwhelming. Our experienced team guides families through the process with clear advice, practical support, and a straightforward approach every step of the way.

In our latest blog, we explain:
✔️ What a Grant of Representation is
✔️ Why it is needed
✔️ Who applies for it
✔️ How it fits into the probate process
