The Joint Committee on Justice chaired by Committee Leas-Chathaoirleach Senator Barry Ward will meet tomorrow, Tuesday 2nd July 2024 at 4pm in Committee Room 1 for detailed scrutiny of the Seller's Legal Pack for Property Buyers Bill 2021.

This Bill seeks to establish a statutory procedure so that when a seller of a property places the property on the market a set of legal documents is to be compiled. The purpose of the pack is to ensure the buyer has access to certain key information relating to the property to make the conveyancing process more efficient.

The Committee will meet with representatives from:

· the Law Society of Ireland

· the Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers (IPAV)

The meeting can be viewed live on Oireachtas TV.
