Solicitors for Buying & Selling Property
Conveyancing matters handled in Kilkenny since 1981 — alongside extensive knowledge in wills and probate, family law, personal injury, employment law, leases and tenancies, and debt recovery.
A family practice in Kilkenny since 1981
Mary Molloy Solicitor has practised continuously on Rose Inn Street, Kilkenny since 1981. The firm is a family practice — Mary Molloy is the principal solicitor; her sons Nicholas O'Shea and Richard O'Shea are also solicitors at the firm.
The firm acts for clients across County Kilkenny and the surrounding counties on residential and commercial conveyancing, wills and probate, family law, personal injury and civil litigation, road traffic accidents, employment law, leases and tenancies, and debt recovery.
Conveyancing is the largest area of the firm's practice, but the work covers each of the eight practice areas listed above. The legal and procedural rules differ by area; the underlying approach to client work — clarity about the law, careful preparation, and respect for the people involved — does not.
All solicitors at the firm are admitted to the Roll of Solicitors of Ireland and regulated by the Law Society of Ireland and the Legal Services Regulatory Authority.
Property handled with care
On a residential conveyance, the firm acts on the title investigation, the contractual stage, the lender requirements where there is a mortgage, completion, and the post-completion steps with the Property Registration Authority and Revenue.
Contracts reviewed in full
We read the contract in full and raise pre-contract and requisition enquiries with the seller's solicitor where needed before contracts are signed.
Title investigated against the PRA
We investigate the title and confirm it is a legally marketable title and registered with the Property Registration Authority — confirming the seller's ownership, identifying any judgment mortgages or registered burdens, and checking that the boundaries match the ground.
Lender and stamp-duty work handled
We act for the borrower on a mortgage transaction, manage the drawdown of funds in time for completion, and calculate and file the stamp duty return with the Revenue Commissioners.
Costs discussed at the outset
We discuss our fees with each client at the outset, including the basis on which we charge and the third-party outlays (Land Registry fees, search fees, stamp duty) involved in the matter.
Other practice areas at the firm
Beyond conveyancing, the firm advises on wills and probate, family and childcare law, personal injury and litigation, road traffic accidents, employment law, leases and tenancies, and debt recovery — for clients across Kilkenny and the surrounding counties.
