Renting a home in Ireland and buying land

Gud

Hi I live in ireland since 2006 and what i can tell you is that to buy a land, any kind of land is a dream but an expensive one ... look for a house in a rural area far from the touristic ones  .... you can find houses with 1 to 3 acres of land  but not for a town house which will have at the best 100 m2 of back yard and eventually a little bit of ground at the front... you can have an idea looking at websites such as daft.ie
best of luck

Hi Cathleen, we live in County Leitrim 1 mile away from the village of Kinlough and 4 miles from the seaside town of Bundoran.  Our house is up for sale as we are moving into Sligo Town.  Have a look at the website of: Sean Meehan & Co Auctioneers. If you are interested get in touch with me at e-mail : [email protected]. Good luck with your search.

Hi Cathleen,
Galway and Cork are some of the most beautiful parts in Ireland!
Buying land tends to be easer and cheaper directly from a farmer. Before you can build anything on the land you would need planning permission....which is a whole bunch of red tape! You won't need planning permission for a 'temperory structure'.....like a shipping container or a bold down shed...

Let me know what your plans are and I can try and point you in the right direction...

Thank you, I would rather buy direct but the problem then becomes red tape to build a home, maybe could find some land with a cottage on it and might just need some up grading. I just want to have a couple of gardens, one for vegetables, one for flowers, a chicken coop and a barn. I am also looking into Ecuador, everything is so cheap there but I am Irish and the country pulls at me but am told some things may be very expensive, also my son wants to try to get a job over there with Amazon, Google or Microsoft, he has already had experience working with computers and in customer service and is an artist/animator but does not speak any other languages like I do.
