Mortgagees’ legal fees

Summary

O’Keeffe asked whether mortgage lenders and building societies could pay their own legal fees rather than charge them to purchasers; Collins agreed to look into it.

Jim O'Keeffe Mr. O'Keeffe Fine Gael

Could I ask whether the Minister would consider a change in the law by putting on mortgagees, building societies and so on the onus of discharging their own legal fees and thus relieving the purchaser, who presently has to pay them, from that obligation?

I would be prepared to look into that.
