An owner-led sale means you handle the property presentation, enquiries and viewings, while appropriately appointed professionals carry out the work that needs their expertise. Properly offers a fixed-price digital coordination package with agreed independent lawyer help. It does not remove legal checks, make you a property lawyer or guarantee a buyer.
Decide which responsibilities you are ready to take on
Start by deciding who will answer enquiries, show the home and record follow-up questions. Those jobs require time and accurate information. If you cannot provide access or respond consistently, arrange a lawful alternative before promising a seller-led process. A lower service fee is useful only when the practical work is actually covered.
Make a written brief describing the property, available documents, known issues, proposed inclusions and your priorities. Use the same facts in every conversation. If something is uncertain, record it as a question rather than upgrading an assumption into a selling point. This gives the buyer and the appointed lawyer a more reliable starting point.
Prepare the ownership file before promoting the home
Identify the registered owners, available title information, any mortgage and the documents you hold about the building. Ask your lawyer which searches and permissions are relevant. An old purchase contract, a separate title deed and a right under an existing contract can involve different routes to a sale.
Raise disagreements, inheritance questions, missing documents and authority to sign at the outset. A standard fixed package should not be treated as a promise to resolve every complication for the same price. Suitability and the professional assignment need to be confirmed against the actual property.

You choose the asking price, but you should distinguish your target from evidence about the property. If you need a valuation, commission the appropriate professional. A fee calculator, a neighbouring listing or a comment from a viewer does not establish market value.
Decide which trade-offs you would consider: price, timing, conditions, included items and the buyer’s readiness. A lower offer may or may not be sensible for your circumstances. The important point is to make that decision with the relevant information rather than focusing only on a fast acceptance.
Use viewings to create a clear next step
Agree access arrangements, protect personal documents and keep a record of questions you could not answer. A buyer may need another visit, a technical inspection or information from the building administrator. Assign an owner and a target date to each follow-up instead of leaving everything in separate message threads.
Record an offer as a proposal with its conditions. Before signing a reservation, accepting binding wording or receiving a deposit, ask the lawyer to explain the implications. A platform readiness confirmation is not a substitute for that advice.
Keep contract, money and title with the right professionals
Your lawyer should confirm the legal scope and their represented client, then handle the agreed contract and completion work. The shared case can organise requests and progress notes. It does not clear a mortgage, deposit a contract at the registry or register a transfer merely because a status changes.
Transaction funds belong within the agreed lawyer and banking arrangements. Verify payment instructions through a trusted channel. The public Properly website and its case-opening flow do not collect the property purchase price.

The traditional route may involve an agent conducting viewings, a lawyer handling legal work and the parties coordinating through email and calls. Properly’s owner-led model changes that allocation: you conduct viewings and use a shared digital case for practical coordination. Independent professional responsibility remains in place.
The digital sale package is €3,995 including VAT, paid at the start after scope and engagement are agreed. Optional marketing is €1,900 including VAT under a separate approved plan. Compare actual quotes, included work, payment timing and cancellation terms. A fixed fee can cost more than another quote in some cases, and is payable under the agreed terms even if a sale does not complete.
Your preparation checklist
- Decide who will handle enquiries and viewings.
- Collect the ownership, mortgage and building documents available.
- Record price expectations and acceptable conditions.
- Confirm professional identity, represented client and scope.
- Agree all charges and payment terms before paying.
Questions about your next move.
Can I sell through Properly without percentage commission?
The digital sale package is €3,995 including VAT rather than a percentage commission. You conduct viewings, and the agreed independent lawyer work remains within its written scope.
Does an owner-led sale mean legal checks can be skipped?
No. Ownership, authority, relevant burdens, contract terms and official transfer requirements still need appropriate professional attention.
