Dear Karen,

Our offer has been accepted to buy our first home — we are very excited. We are buying for €350,000 and have been approved for a mortgage. The auctioneer is looking for details of my solicitor. Naturally, we are trying to keeps our costs as low as possible. What are the costs involved in conveyancing? I find it all a bit overwhelming.
