We insisted on OUR lawyer holding the deposit. We we're selling.
We was only charged €1,000 from start to finish. I think it was worth it from a sellers point of view. Even if its just to stop the estate agent keeping the deposit should something go wrong and it actually go to the seller...it is after all their deposit on their property.
