House-buying to get cheaper with e-conveyancing
That is the view of the Irish Auctioneers and Valuers Association (IAVI) who last night welcomed the latest proposal to modernise land and property law and bring in e-conveyancing by the end of 2006. The Law Reform Commission is recommending these major changes in new report to be launched by Justice Minister Michael McDowell today.
The Commission is recommending that obsolete land laws dating back to feudal times which gave people rights of succession be abolished and anachronistic laws that still give the British Crown a right to rents here be repealed.
