The Benefits of e-Conveyancing: Discussion

Mr. Frank Treacy:
They have a notarised, civil law system but if they are buying property in this country they must buy it in the jurisdiction. There have been all sorts of attempts to have unified systems and a single mortgage for across the Union, but they did not get anywhere. The two systems are very different, so anybody buying abroad will buy through a solicitor or certainly through the system here.
