Buying Process Ireland

1.Are you currently trying to buy a home in Ireland?
2.Has a Sale you were involved in ever fallen through?
3.If Yes, What caused it ?
4.Do you have concerns if/when you go sale agreed, if the sale falls through or take months and months to complete the sale?
5.Lets Say the following existed. After your offer is accepted, both buyer and seller sign a "Reservation Agreement". Each party pays a deposit of (e.g. €1,500 - €3,000) into a secure account. IF either side pulls out of the sale without valid reason (finance refusal, survey issue with the property) they forfeit their deposit to the other party.

A platform handles this agreement digitally, with a fixed fee of €150 Per Person. Solicitors are informed. Its not a full contract, but it does secure intent from both parties and secures the sale and both parties to act in a timely manner, and further reduce the risk of sale sale fall throughs.

Would you use something like this if it was offered after going sale agreed for security?
6.Would you pay€150 if it helped avoid delays or losing a purchase or sale?
7.Would paying a deposit into a neutral holding account make you feel more secure ?
8.What would give you confidence to use a new service like this ?
9.Do you think its fair for both parties to pay and small fee of €150?
10.Would you like to see this become available and normalised in Ireland
