Selling an inherited property in Ireland
Emmett Corcoran — Cox & Walsh
Draft for author review · 29 October 2026

Begin by asking the estate solicitor who can authorise the sale and what stage the administration has reached. Keep any estate or tax valuation separate from advice about today’s asking price. Then assemble the property information, agree how decisions will be made and prepare a realistic sale plan.

What to gather
[ ] Property address, Eircode and contact for access
[ ] Estate solicitor and confirmation of who may instruct
[ ] Earlier valuation reports and the dates they concern
[ ] Plans, occupation details and known works or defects
[ ] Who will consider offers and how decisions will be recorded

Start with a short introduction. Detailed or sensitive documents can follow through an agreed channel.
