Moving home in Northern Ireland
Plan a Northern Ireland move with guidance on buying, deposits and domestic rates.
A move in Northern Ireland needs the local buying, renting and household-charge guidance. Use the actual agreement and professional instructions to establish payment dates, notice and handover arrangements.
Northern Ireland-specific checks
Northern Ireland uses Stamp Duty Land Tax for applicable purchases and domestic rates rather than Council Tax. Use nidirect's home-buying guide and tenancy-deposit information as starting points.
The guides below cover the key differences. Confirm who pays rates and individual bills in a rental, and keep the household's travel arrangements separate from the removal load where the journey requires it. Organise the complete plan in My Move.
